12-in High Power Mid Bass Woofer 8 Ohms with 1000 Watts Continuous Power Capability

The 12MB720 is a very high sensitivity 100dB 1W/1m midbass driver with high power handling capabilities. It can be used as either a bass/mid driver in compact 2-way reflex enclosures or as a direct radiating or horn loaded, dedicated midrange driver, in multi-way touring and fixed installation concert and arena systems. Its curvilinear paper cone made from a special high strength wood pulp, has been designed to achieve the best possible linearity within its intended frequency range and to control bell-mode resonances around the cone circumference. The cone is carried by a multiroll suspension formed of a linen-like material, which is more resistant to aging and fatigue than traditional materials. The 75 mm diameter state-of-the-art copper voice coil employs our Interleaved Sandwich Voice coil ISV technology. This results in an extremely linear motor assembly with a reduced tendency for eccentric behavior when driven hard. The excellent performance capabilities of this loudspeaker are further enhanced by the Single Demodulating Rings SDR designed to dramatically reduce the intermodulation and harmonic distortion and improve transient response. The magnetic structure has been optimized using FEA CAD resource, maximizing the flux density in the voice coil gap and its cooling. An exclusive treatment has been applied to the cone giving it water repellent properties. 100dB Sensitivity Single demodulating ring 75mm 3-in Interleaved Sandwich voice coil 500 watts AES power handling Nominal Impedance : 8 ohms Minimum Impedance : 6.4 ohms Nominal Power Handling: 500 W Continuous Power Handling: 1000 W Sensitivity : 100.0 dB Frequency Range : 90 - 4000 Hz Voice Coil Diameter : 75 mm 3.0 in Winding Depth : 15.0 mm 0.59 in Magnetic Gap Depth : 10.0 mm 0.39 in Overall Diameter : 310 mm 12.2 in Bolt Circle Diameter : 295 mm 11.61 in Baffle Cutout Diameter : 283.0 mm 11.14 in Depth : 142 mm 5.59 in Flange and Gasket Thickness : 13 mm 0.52 in Net Weight : 7.8 kg 17.2 lb Shipping Weight : 8.3 kg 18.3 lb
