FEATURES

WF090WA01/02 photo
  • Vented voice coil former and magnet center pole for reduced distortion and compression
  • Vented chassis for lower air flow speed reducing audible distortion
  • Voice coil wound with Copper Clad Aluminium Wire for higher efficiency and better dynamics
  • Heavy-duty black fiber glass voice coil bobbin to increase power handling and reduce mechanical losses resulting in better dynamic performance and low-level details
  • Low-loss suspension (high Qm) for better reproduction of details and dynamics
  • Black magnet parts for better heat transfer to increase power handling
  • Progressive suspension with specially designed CONEX damper (spider) for long durability under extreme operating conditions
  • Gold plated terminals to prevent oxidation for long-term reliable connection
  • Delivered with foam gasket attached for hassle-free mounting and secure cabinet sealing

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 20 deg. C

Note 5

Measured at 25 deg. C

Note 6

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.

Note 7

After-burn-in specifications are measured at least 12 hours after exiting the transducer by a 20 Hz sine wave for 2 hours at level 2.83/4.0 VRMS (4/8 ohm version). Unit are not burned in before shipping.
