FEATURES

JUNE 2023
TW030WA21/22 are upgraded versions of the previous models TW030WA09/10.
For new designs/applications please use models TW030WA21/22.

  • Graphene reinforced textile dome with increased high-frequency extension, consistency, and temperature rating
  • 30 mm design with controlled off-axis and power response, high power handling, and low resonance frequency
  • Innovative design of Internal volumes for low resonance frequency and distortion
  • Optimized dome shape for improved high frequency cutoff
  • Vented voice coil former reducing distortion and compression
  • Copper-clad aluminium voice coil wire offering lower moving mass for improved efficiency and transient response
  • Build-in cavities under dome/edge to equalize pressure for lower distortion and lower resonance frequency
  • Flexible lead wires for higher power handling and larger excursion
  • Gold plated terminals to prevent oxidation and ensure long-term reliable connection
  • Delivered with foam gasket attached for hassle-free mounting and secure cabinet sealing

Please observe that these text files for download are actual measurements of the drivers measured in infinite baffle and without any enclosure. Measuring the drivers in a finite baffle (like the baffle of most speaker cabinets) and in any size of enclosure will lead to different response curves.

Note 1

Measured in infinite baffle.

Note 2

Tested in free air (no cabinet).

Note 3

Measured using a semi-constant current source, nominal level 2 mA.

Note 4

Measured at 25 deg. C

Note 5

It is generally a rough simplification to assume that loudspeaker transducer voice coils exhibit the characteristics of an inductor. Instead it is a far more accurate approach to use the more advanced model often referred to as the “Wright empirical model”, also used in LEAP-4 as the TSL model (www.linearx.com), involving parameters Krm, Erm, Kxm, and Exm. This more accurate transducer model is described in a technical paper (PDF) here.
