Its 8-ohm impedance and 5.8-ohm DC resistance (Re) facilitate straightforward integration with most amplifiers. The driver features a sensitivity of 85 dB SPL (1m/2.83V) and a low voice coil inductance of 0.48 mH, contributing to extended high-frequency response and minimal distortion. With a mechanical Q (Qms) of 2.08 and an electromagnetic Q (Qes) of 0.44, the motor system is optimised for precision. The 146 mm nominal diameter and 75 mm depth allow for compact cabinet designs, while the 126 mm cut-out diameter and six mounting holes simplify installation. This bass-midwoofer is a superb foundation for projects demanding authentic, uncoloured sound reproduction.
