Design Notes

The 21NPW is a high efficiency, (96 dB 1watt / 1 meter) 21-inch woofer with incredibly linear frequency response characteristics, extreme high power handling capability while generating low harmonic distortion artifacts. The 21NPW uses a lightweight carbon fiber loaded cone assembly along with a high excursion triple roll constant geometry surround. This combination provides remarkable strength, high efficiency and a peak to peak maximum excursion of 31mm.

Power Handling
At the core of the 21NPW is it’s voice coil technology featuring a composite Polyimide former material capable of withstanding peak temperatures in excess of 350C, well beyond the thermal requirements of modern professional audio systems. The 21NPW delivers incredible performance.

REDCATT has implemented a triple layer/silicone spider design to ensure long term Fs memory, consistency and diminish anomalies associated with spider deterioration.
