LOW-FREQUENCY LOUDSPEAKER
D E S C R IP T IO N
The ALTEC 414-8C12-inch Low-Frequency
Loudspeaker provides optimum performance in
medium-sized enclosures.
A structurally reinforced frame, rigid enough to
permit front or rear mounting, supports a heavy
permanent magnet providing high flux density.
The low-mass voice coil is made from edge-
wound copper ribbon to provide more turns of
wire in the voice-coil gap. Cone suspension pro
vides high compliance for accurate reproduc
tion of low frequencies.
An exceptionally fine-crafted speaker for use in
moderate-sized sound reinforcement and high-
fidelity systems.
