Description

38 cm Woofer, 8 ohm, Paper Cone, Neo, AirCirc

With the Ellipticor family a long tradition of circular motor structures and their inherent breakup behaviour has been broken since one of its key features is an elliptical voice coil and magnet gap. In combination with the powerful SD AirCirc magnet system the 38WE has high sensitivity, very low distortion, and has an extremely fast response to transients. Above all a TRUE TO LIFE sound which makes 38WE/8582T00 one of the very best woofers on the market!

Features

  • Elliptical voice coil
  • AirCirc optimised magnet system
  • Very low mechanical losses
  • Exceptionally low distortion
  • High Sensitivity (SPL)
  • Flexible appearance with replaceable decor ring
