Visaton AL 170 6.5" High-End Woofer

The Visaton AL 170 6.5" High-End Woofer 8 Ohm is a premium-grade bass and mid-bass driver engineered for audiophile-quality sound reproduction. Its aluminium cone membrane provides exceptional rigidity and low mass, resulting in minimal distortion and a clean, articulate response across the low-frequency spectrum. This woofer is ideally suited for use in high-fidelity loudspeaker systems, studio monitors, and custom audio installations where precise bass control and dynamic impact are paramount. Whether you are building a two-way bookshelf speaker or a dedicated subwoofer enclosure, the AL 170 delivers the performance required for critical listening applications.

Technically, the AL 170 features a nominal diameter of 165.1 mm and a mounting depth of 68 mm, making it compact yet powerful. With a total Q factor (Qts) of 0.39, it is well-suited for sealed or ported enclosures, offering a balanced blend of transient speed and low-frequency extension. The woofer achieves a sensitivity of 88 dB SPL at 1m/2.83V and a maximum linear excursion (Xmax) of 11 mm, ensuring high output with low distortion. Its DC resistance (Re) is 5.6 ohms, and the voice coil inductance (Le) is 0.9 mH, contributing to controlled impedance behaviour. The aluminium cone, combined with a robust motor system, guarantees long-term reliability and consistent performance. Ideal for discerning audio enthusiasts, the Visaton AL 170 is a versatile and high-quality choice for demanding audio projects.
