The 8.25” transducers WF211PA01 4 ohm) and WF211PA02 (8 ohm) were designed dedicated for Public Address audio systems. They merge the well-known audiophile sound qualities of a typical Wavecor transducer with the common virtues of PA transducers with high sensitivity, high power handling, low distortion, and true-to-the-source sound reproduction.

Important! 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.

FEATURES
|
|
|
|
- Balanced Drive motor structure for optimal drive force symmetry resulting in largely reduced even order harmonic distortion
- Alu shorting ring on center pole below and above air gap to reduce voice coil induction, reduce variation of voice coil induction as a function of voice coil position, and reduce flux variation induced by voice coil current. All with the purpose of reducing large-signal distortion
- Large motor with 2.5” voice coil diameter for better control and power handling
- Cone made of light and stiff paper formula for high efficiency and uncoloured sound
- Rigid die cast alu chassis with extensive venting for lower air flow speed reducing audible distortion
- Vented voice coil former for reduced distortion and compression
- Vented center pole with dual flares for reduced noise level and compression at large cone excursions
- Heavy-duty black fiber glass voice coil former to 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 plated motor parts for better heat transfer to the surrounding air
- Conex spider for better long-term stability and better durability under extreme conditions

|
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.

Note 6
|
After burn-in specifications are measured 12 hours after exiting the transducer by a 20 Hz sine wave for 2 hours at level 16/24 VRMS (4/8 ohm version). The unit is not burned in before shipping.
