The JBL Model 4645C is a high quality subwoofer system, featuring an advanced technology 460 mm (18 in), low frequency transducer mounted in a direct radiator, bass-reflex enclosure for smooth response to the lowest audible frequencies. The 4645C is ideal for low-frequency augmentation of either analog or digital soundtracks in motion picture theaters and for general sound reinforcement applications.
Transducer:
The 2242H transducer utilizes the patented Vented Gap Cooling (VGC) process*, which pumps air through the magnetic gap and directly over and around the voice coil, providing immediate heat transfer and a reduction in operating temperature. This increases power handling while reducing power compression.
The 2242H utilizes a rugged 100 mm (4 in) diameter voice coil and incorporates a large motor structure with a pole piece that extends both above and below the top plate to improve gap flux symmetry and increase thermal conductivity. This magnet structure and the use of a voice coil with one-third more exposed area than in former designs, provides the 2242H with very effective heat sinking, enabling the system to carry an 800 watt continuous AES pink noise power rating.
*U.S. Patent #5,042,072. Foreign Patents Pending.
