    Wavecor Speaker Driver - WF120BD05 - 4 Ohm Die Cast Paper/Glass Fibre Mid-Woofer

    Description
    The 4¾” transducers WF120BD05/WF120BD09 (4 ohm) and WF120BD06/WF120BD10 (8 ohm) were designed as high performance bass and midrange units for very compact monitors and high-end hi-fi speakers.

    The only difference between WF120BD05 and WF120BD09 is the shape of the mounting flange of the frames. WF120BD06 and WF120BD10 differ in the same way.

     

    Features

    • Balanced Drive motor structure for optimal drive force symmetry resulting in largely reduced even 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
    • Cone made of a new paper/glass fiber mix with improved consistency and stability
    • 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 1¼” 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 3 Measured using a semi-constant current source, nominal level 2 mA.
    Note 4 Measured at 25 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. This more accurate transducer model is described in a technical paper (PDF) here.
    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 7.75/11 VRMS (4/8 ohm version). The unit is not burned in before shipping.
