The 7” transducers WF182BD13 (round, 4 ohm), WF182BD15 (truncated, 4 ohm), WF182BD14 (round, 8 ohm), and WF182BD16 (truncated, 8 ohm) were designed as high performance bass and midrange units for compact monitors and high-end hi-fi speakers.
FEATURES
New cone of interwoven Kevlar/Carbon fibers, a new reference for the combination of low mass, rigidness, and damping - highly beneficial properties for midrange reproduction
Balanced Drive motor structure for optimal drive force symmetry resulting in largely reduced even order harmonic distortion
Vented, inverted center dome for reduced compression
Copper cap on center pole to reduce voice coil inductance and to minimize variations in voice coil inductance as a function of voice coil position
Rigid die cast alu chassis with extensive venting for lower air flow speed reducing audible distortion
Vented voice coil former for reduced distortion and compression
Heavy-duty black fiber glass voice coil former to reduce mechanical losses resulting in better dynamic performance and low-level details
Large motor with 1.25” voice coil diameter for better control and power handling
Built-in alu field-stabilizing ring for reduced distortion at high levels
Low-loss suspension (high Qm) for better reproduction of details and dynamics
Black motor parts for better heat transfer to the surrounding air
Conex spider for better durability under extreme conditions
Gold plated terminals to ensure long-term trouble free connection
