    Wavecor Speaker Driver - WF182BD04 - 8 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 2nd order harmonic distortion
    • Copper cap on center pole to reduce voice coil inductance and to minimize 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 center pole with dual flares for reduced noise level at large cone excursions
    • Heavy-duty black fiber 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-stabilizing 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 (www.linearx.com), involving parameters Krm, Erm, Kxm, and Exm.
    Note 6 After burn-in specifications are measured 12 hours after exiting the transducer by a 20 Hz sine wave for 2 hours at level 10/14.1 VRMS (4/8 ohm version). The unit is not burned in before shipping.
