What the labels mean

  • Worked out from the maker's figures: Vd = Sd × Xmax, EBP = Fs ÷ Qes.
  • My earlier listing, not yet checked: from the listing I had before I started checking figures against makers. Treat it as a guide until it's checked.
  • NB Audio's listing: how I've filed it in the store.
