FEATURES

SPL 65 Midrange / Woofer

The SPL 65 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 voltage sensitivity and higher output

Aluminum Dome Neodymium Tweeter

The SPL 65's coaxially mounted 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

Passive Crossover Network

• The crossover consists of high quality 2 pole design for improved
power handling, lower distortion and better imaging

• Acoustic Summation design combines the crossover with the
speaker's natural roll-off for a steeper slope and increased power

• Dynamic tweeter protection allows for improved power handling
and continuous output

2 Ohm Nominal System Impedance

The 2 Ohm impedance design of the SPL 65 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
voltage input

•More stable, phase coherent load than two 4 Ohm speakers
operating in parallel providing an easier load for an amplifier
