Wavecor Speaker Driver - SW070WA02 - 8 Ohm 2¾" Alu-Cone Subwoofer
Description
The 2¾” transducer SW070WA02 - 8 ohm is designed especially for high quality multimedia and lifestyle speakers, where space otherwise usually does not allow for "real bass".
Ideal for combining with the Wavecor FR070WA 2¾” fullrange or any good tweeter.
Features
- True subwoofer design for vented or sealed enclosures
- Dual neodymium magnet structure for high efficiency and almost ideal magnetically shielding
- Black anodised alu cone for better heat transfer
- Vented polymer chassis for lower air flow speed reducing audible distortion
- Vented voice coil former for reduced distortion and compression
- Heavy-duty black fibre glass voice coil bobbin to reduce mechanical losses resulting in better dynamic performance and low-level details
- Large motor with 26 mm voice coil diameter for better control and power handling
- 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 6.3/8.9 VRMS (4/8 ohm version). The unit is not burned in before shipping.
