At the heart of its performance lies a paper cone, chosen for its natural, uncoloured sound reproduction that brings warmth and clarity to vocals and instruments. The driver boasts a high sensitivity of 94.4 dB, allowing it to produce impressive volume levels even with modest amplifier power. Technical excellence is further underscored by a total Q factor (Qts) of 0.28, which indicates excellent transient response and tight, controlled bass.

The robust motor system, characterised by a low electrical Q (Qes) of 0.29 and a DC resistance of 6.1 ohms, ensures efficient power handling. Finished with a 167.5 mm frame and a mounting depth of just 84.5 mm, this driver is a compact yet powerful solution for discerning builders.
