FEATURES

SPL 6 Midrange / Woofer

The SPL 6 is an excellent performer with a combination of high
sensitivity, solid bass and smooth response throughout the audible
range.

• Lightweight Cone designed for good rigidity and high sensitivity

• 2 Ohm Voice Coil for increased output

SPL 1 Aluminum Dome Neodymium Tweeter

The SPL 1 tweeter is a high performance 1” Neodymium tweeter
designed to deliver outstanding high frequency reproduction.

• Black Aluminum 1" dome for improved power handling and

linear response

• Ferrofluid-immersed Voice Coil enhances heat dissipation

• Vented Aluminum Voice Coil Former for superb heat dissipation

and high power handling

SPL 6X Passive Crossover Network

The SPL 6X crossover consists of high quality, multi-element
components with a two position tweeter level control. This allows
tailoring high frequency output to the installation and individual
preferences.

• 24 dB/octave Acoustic Summation Crossover Slopes

• Variable tweeter control for added flexibility

• Dynamic tweeter protection allows for improved power handling

and continuous output

• Ultra-low DCR Inductors for minimal signal loss (High power
Ferrite in woofer path)

2 Ohm Nominal System Impedance

The 2 Ohm impedance design of the SPL 60 system provides an overall
3 dB increase in output compared to a 4 Ohm design.

•Effectively a doubling of Sound Pressure Level -- with the same
amplifier voltage output

•More stable, phase coherent load than two 4 Ohm speakers
operating in parallel
