Scan-Speak Discovery 22W/8534G00 Woofer

The Scan-Speak Discovery 22W/8534G00 Woofer represents a masterful blend of engineering precision and acoustic performance, designed to deliver deep, controlled bass with exceptional clarity. As part of the renowned Discovery series, this driver is ideal for audiophiles and DIY loudspeaker builders seeking to construct high-fidelity two-way or three-way systems, as well as compact subwoofer designs where accurate low-frequency reproduction is paramount.

This woofer excels in a variety of applications, from stand-mount monitors to floor-standing speakers, and is particularly well-suited for sealed or vented enclosures requiring a robust, articulate bass response. Its technical specifications reveal a carefully optimised design: a total Q factor (Qts) of 0.39 ensures a balanced alignment for tight, punchy bass, while the 89 dB sensitivity (SPL 1m/2.83V) allows for efficient power handling. The glass fibre cone provides outstanding rigidity and low mass, minimising cone break-up and distortion, and is supported by a rigid aluminium frame that reduces unwanted resonances. With a DC resistance of 5.9 ohms and a voice coil inductance of 0.56 mH, this driver offers stable impedance characteristics. The 173 mm nominal diameter and 184.7 mm cut-out diameter facilitate straightforward integration into your project. Whether you are upgrading an existing design or starting from scratch, the Discovery 22W/8534G00 delivers the authoritative, detailed bass that discerning listeners demand.
