Wavecor Speaker Driver - TW030WA13 - 4 Ohm 30mm Chambered Neodymium Textile Tweeter
Description
TW030WA13 is a true high-end tweeter designed for the most demanding applications featuring an array of performance improving details that participate in obtaining low resonance frequency, low distortion and very high frequency extension.
Features
- Precision textile dome ensuring extended response and very good consistency
- 30 mm voice coil design with high power handling, and low resonance frequency
- Copper clad center pole yielding very low voice coil inductance for reduced distortion and increased high frequency output
- Vented through to a damped rear chamber for low resonance frequency and low distortion
- Internal volumes for low resonance frequency and low distortion
- Optimized dome shape for ultra high frequency cut-off
- Rear heat sink for increased long term power handling
- 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 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 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.
