ESB Audio 9.6W 6.5"/165 mm High-End Mid-Woofer

- The pole cup, designed with magnetic flux analysis software, helps to achieve perfect and homogeneous saturation of the magnetic gap for the benefit of the voice coil stroke. Always immersed in constant magnetic flux, this reduces distortion and increases dynamics.
- Generously sized neodymium magnet: This very powerful magnet is made from a high-temperature resistant neodymium and allows the size and bulk of the magnetic motor to be greatly reduced. The equivalent magnetic force from a standard ferrite magnet would require larger dimensions of the speaker itself.
- Pole yoke with special internal ventilation, ensures a long life of the voice coil.
- The terminals accept large gauge cables and are gold-plated to prevent any loss of power generated by the amp.
- The cast-aluminum and powder-coated basket offers very low resistance to the passage of air, and its shape (verified by FEM analysis) reduces vibration and resonance.
- A special spider device, screwed to the central pole, ensures the spider damper clamping.
- Conex™ spider damper is inside the voice coil with balanced and progressive stiffness for a perfect controlled ride
- An enormous voice coil ensures highest-in-class power handling and guarantees unequaled speaker dynamics. The design of this voice coil ensures that it remains fully immersed in the magnetic field for much of its excursion, minimizing distortion. The voice coil former is made of aluminum with ventilation holes and black anodization in order to better dissipate heat. Underhung voice coil: the length of the voice coil winding is shorter than the height of the magnetic gap. This design allows lower distortion at lower excursions and more precise control over the movement of the voice coil.
- The cone is made of high modulus carbon molded under vacuum and autoclave, a technology rarely used in speakers because of its cost, but brings enormous benefits in terms of naturalness of reproduction and high transient dynamics.
- The NBL rubber surround has a shape designed to ensure very smooth movement at very low excursion, becoming increasingly controlled as the excursion increases and approaches the limit. This, too, helps to make this speaker extremely dynamic and capable of handling high powers.
- The CNC-machined aluminum ring secures the rubber suspension on the edge, ensuring perfect fastening and centering.
- CNC-machined aluminum grille (optional).
