Visaton W 200 S - 4 8" HiFi Woofer

The Visaton W 200 S - 4 is an 8-inch HiFi woofer engineered to deliver precise, articulate bass and midrange frequencies, making it an exceptional choice for audiophiles seeking natural sound reproduction. This driver excels in a variety of applications, including high-fidelity stereo systems, compact subwoofer designs, and multi-way speaker builds where accurate mid-bass performance is essential. Its versatile parameters also suit it for use in sealed or ported enclosures, offering flexibility for custom projects.

Technically, the woofer features a treated paper cone that provides a warm, detailed sonic character with excellent transient response. With a nominal impedance of 4 ohms and a sensitivity of 91 dB SPL (1m/2.83V), it pairs efficiently with moderate amplification. The total Q factor (Qts) of 0.35 indicates a well-damped driver ideal for bass-reflex designs, while the mechanical (Qms: 3.99) and electrical (Qes: 0.38) Q values ensure controlled low-frequency extension. A maximum linear excursion (Xmax) of 3.5 mm supports clean output at higher volumes, and the 1.5 mH voice coil inductance contributes to smooth frequency response. The woofer’s 203.2 mm nominal diameter and 95 mm mounting depth allow integration into many cabinets, with a cutout diameter of 184 mm and five fixing holes on a 218 mm bolt circle. The DC resistance (Re) is 3.4 ohms. This driver combines robust build quality with refined acoustic engineering for discerning listeners.
