Visaton PAW 30 ND - 8 Bass-midwoofer

The Visaton PAW 30 ND - 8 is a high-performance bass-midwoofer engineered to deliver powerful, low-distortion bass and articulate midrange frequencies. As part of Visaton’s renowned PAW series, this driver is built for audiophiles and DIY speaker enthusiasts who demand exceptional sound quality and reliability in their audio projects.

This versatile 12-inch driver excels in a variety of applications, including two-way or three-way speaker systems, subwoofer enclosures, and high-fidelity home audio builds. Its controlled response makes it ideal for both sealed and ported cabinets, where it can reproduce deep, punchy bass without sacrificing clarity in the upper bass and lower midrange. Whether you are designing a studio monitor or a high-output home theatre system, the PAW 30 ND - 8 provides the foundation for a truly immersive listening experience.

Technically, the driver features a total Q factor (Qts) of 0.36, ensuring precise, well-damped bass response. With a sensitivity of 93 dB SPL at 1m/2.83V, it offers excellent efficiency, requiring less amplifier power to achieve high output levels. The 8-ohm impedance and 6.1-ohm DC resistance (Re) facilitate easy integration with most amplifiers. A maximum linear excursion (Xmax) of 4 mm, combined with a low voice coil inductance (Le) of 0.55 mH, minimises distortion and maintains clarity at higher volumes. The driver’s robust construction includes an 8-hole mounting pattern and a 286 mm cutout diameter, fitting neatly into standard enclosures.

In summary, the Visaton PAW 30 ND - 8 is a superb choice for anyone seeking a high-sensitivity, controlled bass-midwoofer that delivers accurate, low-distortion performance across a wide frequency range.
