Visaton W 200 - 4 8" Woofer

The Visaton W 200 - 4 is an 8-inch woofer engineered to deliver deep, controlled bass and articulate mid-bass for discerning audio enthusiasts. As a versatile bass, mid-bass, and subwoofer driver, it forms the ideal foundation for high-fidelity DIY speaker projects, from compact bookshelf designs to larger floor-standing systems. Its robust construction and carefully tuned parameters make it equally suited to both sealed and ported enclosures, allowing you to tailor the low-frequency response to your listening preferences.

This driver features a treated paper cone, renowned for its natural, warm sound character and excellent damping properties, which minimises unwanted resonances. With a nominal impedance of 4 Ohms and a sensitivity of 91 dB (1m/2.83V), it pairs efficiently with a wide range of amplifiers. The total Q factor (Qts) of 0.63 indicates a well-balanced design, while the mechanical (Qms) and electromagnetic (Qes) values of 3.46 and 0.77 respectively ensure controlled excursion and precise transient response. A maximum linear excursion (Xmax) of 2 mm, combined with a low voice coil inductance (Le) of 0.5 mH, contributes to clean, distortion-free bass reproduction.

Built to last, the woofer has a 203.2 mm nominal diameter and a mounting depth of 87 mm, with a cut-out diameter of 185 mm and four fixing holes on a 197 mm bolt circle. The DC resistance (Re) is 3.2 Ohms. Whether you are upgrading an existing system or building from scratch, the Visaton W 200 - 4 offers the performance and reliability expected from a leading German manufacturer.
