Visaton WS 17 E 6.5" HiFi Woofer

The Visaton WS 17 E 6.5" HiFi Woofer 8 Ohm is a versatile and high-quality driver engineered to deliver clear, dynamic bass and articulate midrange reproduction. As a bass-mid driver or subwoofer, it is ideally suited for use in compact HiFi loudspeakers, two-way systems, or as a dedicated low-frequency unit in custom audio projects. Its robust construction and well-balanced parameters make it a reliable choice for both DIY enthusiasts and professional audio builders seeking natural, uncoloured sound.

This 6.5-inch woofer features a treated paper cone, which provides a warm and natural tonal character with excellent transient response. With a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms and a sensitivity of 88 dB SPL (1m/2.83V), it integrates seamlessly into a wide range of amplifier configurations. The total Q factor (Qts) of 0.81 indicates a well-damped response suitable for sealed or ported enclosures, while the maximum linear excursion (Xmax) of 3.5 mm ensures controlled, distortion-free performance at moderate listening levels. The 165.1 mm nominal diameter and 79 mm mounting depth allow for straightforward installation in most cabinet designs.

Engineered with precision, this woofer boasts a DC resistance (Re) of 5.8 Ohms and a voice coil inductance (Le) of 0.9 mH, contributing to its efficient power handling and smooth frequency response. The mechanical (Qms) and electromagnetic (Qes) Q factors are 2.2 and 1.28 respectively, further enhancing its versatility. Whether used as a bass-mid driver or a compact subwoofer, the Visaton WS 17 E delivers reliable, high-fidelity performance that elevates any audio system.
