    Wavecor Speaker Driver - WF182BD03 - 4 Ohm 7" Die Cast Paper Cone Mid-Woofer

    Description
    The 7" transducers WF182BD03 and WF182BD07 (both 4 ohm) and WF182BD04 and WF182BD08 (both 8 ohm) were designed as high performance bass and midrange units for monitors and high-end hi-fi speakers. They offer outstanding deep bass performance and dynamic and detailed midrange.

    Features

    • Balanced Drive motor structure for optimal drive force symmetry resulting in largely reduced even order harmonic distortion
    • Copper cap on centre pole to reduce voice coil inductance and to minimise variations in voice coil inductance as a function of voice coil position
    • Black coated semi-air-dried paper cone
    • Rigid die cast alu chassis with extensive venting for lower air flow speed reducing audible distortion
    • Vented voice coil former for reduced distortion and compression
    • Vented centre pole with dual flares for reduced noise level at large cone excursions
    • Heavy-duty black fibre glass voice coil former to reduce mechanical losses resulting in better dynamic performance and low-level details
    • Large motor with 1½” voice coil diameter for better control and power handling
    • Built-in alu field-stabilising ring for reduced distortion at high levels
    • Low-loss suspension (high Qm) for better reproduction of details and dynamics
    • Black motor parts for better heat transfer to the surrounding air
    • Conex spider for better durability under extreme conditions
    • Gold plated terminals to ensure long-term trouble free connection

    • Note 1: Measured in infinite baffle.
    • Note 2: Tested in free air (no cabinet).
    • Note 3: Measured using a semi-constant current source, nominal level 2 mA.
    • Note 4: Measured at 20 deg. C.
    • Note 5: It is generally a rough simplification to assume that loudspeaker transducer voice coils exhibit the characteristics of an inductor. Instead, it is a far more accurate approach to use the more advanced model often referred to as the “Wright empirical model”, also used in LEAP-4 as the TSL model, involving parameters Krm, Erm, Kxm, and Exm. This more accurate transducer model is described in a technical paper here at our website.
    • Note 6: After burn-in specifications are measured 12 hours after exit from initial burn-in run.
