Thumbnail Filmstrip of Wavecor Tweeter 30mm TW030WA12 Wave Guide Dome Ferrite 8 Ohm Images
Wavecor Speaker Driver - TW030WA12 - 8 Ohm Textile Tweeter with Waveguide
Description
The TW030WA12 tweeter is designed for the most demanding applications, where low resonance frequency, high sensitivity and power handling, controlled dispersion, and a very wide frequency range are required.
Features
- Featuring waveguide faceplate for controlled dispersion, offering optimised off-axis and power response
- 30 mm voice coil design with high power handling and low resonance frequency
- Copper-clad centre pole yielding very low voice coil inductance for reduced distortion and increased high-frequency output
- Internal volumes for low resonance frequency and distortion
- Precision-coated textile diaphragm for improved consistency and high-frequency extension
- Optimised dome shape for ultra-high frequency cutoff
- Vented voice coil former for reduced distortion and compression
- Copper-clad aluminium voice coil wire offering lower moving mass for improved efficiency and transient response
- Built-in cavities under dome/edge to equalise pressure for lower distortion and lower resonance frequency
- Flexible lead wires for higher power handling and larger excursion
- Gold-plated terminals to prevent oxidation and ensure long-term, reliable connection
- Delivered with foam gasket attached for hassle-free mounting and secure cabinet sealing

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 25 °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.
Note 6 Measured before burn in
