Dayton Audio LW182-5 | 2.5 mH | 0.91 Ω | 3% | 18 AWG

The Dayton Audio LW182-5 is a precision-engineered air core inductor coil, meticulously crafted to deliver exceptional performance in high-fidelity loudspeaker crossover networks. As a perfect layer inductor, it ensures consistent and accurate inductance values, making it an ideal choice for audiophiles and DIY speaker builders who demand uncompromising sound quality.

This 2.5 mH coil is perfectly suited for use in two-way or three-way crossover designs, where precise frequency filtering is essential to separate bass, midrange, and treble drivers. Its low DC resistance of just 0.91 Ω minimises signal loss, preserving the integrity of your audio signal and ensuring clean, transparent sound reproduction. Whether you are upgrading an existing speaker system or building a custom design from scratch, this inductor provides reliable and repeatable performance.

Technically, the LW182-5 features a 1.02 mm diameter 18 AWG wire wound in a perfect layer configuration, which reduces parasitic capacitance and maintains stable inductance across the audio band. The inductance tolerance of ±3% guarantees tight consistency between units, critical for matched stereo pairs. With dimensions of 51 x 26 mm, it is compact enough for most crossover boards while handling up to 3 watts RMS. The air core design eliminates core saturation and distortion, ensuring linear performance even at higher signal levels.

For your next speaker project, trust the Dayton Audio LW182-5 to deliver accurate, low-loss filtering that brings your music to life.
