15" | 15FPM
Ferrite Mid-Woofer
Key features:
- CARBON FIBER REINFORCED PAPER CONE
- SQUARE ALUMINUM WINDING WIRE (ALR)
- GREAT OPTION FOR POWERFUL 2-WAY SYSTEMS
Design notes:
The 15FPM is a high efficiency, (98 dB 1watt / 1 meter) 15-inch woofer with incredibly linear frequency response characteristics. The 15FPM uses a lightweight, but strong, carbon fiber loaded cone assembly along with a high excursion triple roll constant geometry surround. Cone material was specifically developed with 2-way or multi-way application in mind. The 15FPM has extended mid frequency range, providing possibility for cross overs at higher frequencies.Power HandlingAt the core of the 15FPM is it’s voice coil technology featuring a composite Polyimide former material capable of withstanding peak temperatures in excess of 250°C, well beyond the thermal requirements of modern professional audio systems. The coil is wound on the outside of the former. Winding material is aluminum ribbon, material that provides ideal transient response.REDCATT has implemented a silicone spider design to ensure long term Fs memory, consistency and diminish anomalies associated with spider deterioration. The sealed spider works as a air pump and pushes the air trough out motor to increase heat transfer and cooling of the parts.
