engineering developments in low frequency driver
design. Specifically designed for both horn-loaded
and vented box enclosures, it has the ruggedness to
withstand high-power sound reinforcement use. The
extended length of the voice coil allows increased
linear travel, and carefully selected suspension
elements provide an optimum balance of motor and
suspension forces to produce tight, accurate tran-

Symmetrical Field Geometry (SFG) design to reduce
second harmonic distortion to inconsequential levels. The 100 mm (4 in) diameter voice coil benefits

contribute to the high performance and linear frequency response. The driver is available as the
