Description
The Discovery series offer traditional design, superior sound, a solid construction, and a wide range of variants. Combining these elements - plus a wealth of technical features and finesses for a tailor-made Scan-Speak solution with very good performance at a reasonably low price point. The 12W/8524G has the same frame size and should be considered as a good replacement for the PL11WH09-08 or PL11WG09-08.
Features
- Wide Operating Frequency Range
- Suitable for 2-way or 3-way (as midrange)
- Coated NRSC Fibre Glass Cone (patent)
- Low Damping SBR Rubber Surround
- Die cast Alu Chassis vented below spider
