Design Notes

5FR delivers a good balance of low-mid frequencies. Extended frequency response opens opportunity do design compact audio systems with sizable amounts of low frequencies, yet wit great clarity in mid to high frequency region. The optimized behavior of this driver in the mid-frequency region allows the audio engineers design simplified passive crossovers or DSP without the needs for large equalizations.
The magnetic structure was designed around large high-grade ferrite magnet. All steel parts are extensively coated to cope with the most demanding environments.
The cone paper pulp and surround were fully developed by REDCATT engineers and address all major break-up modes. The speaker has improved off-axes frequency response.
The newly designed steel basket with front and rear gaskets allow this mid-woofer to be mounted from the front and rear.

Enclosure Recommendations

In free-air or open-back baffle installations, the driver provides a natural -3 dB point at approximately 94 Hz with no impedance-related resonance peak, which is the primary recommendation for column speaker bays and multi-way installed sound systems. For sealed enclosures, two practical alignments are available (Qtc below 0.70 is not achievable with Qts = 0.69):
- 7.3 liters (Qtc 0.85): compact sealed, warm character; system resonance approx. 113 Hz; suitable for vented column bays or small 2-way cabinets
- 11 liters (Qtc approx. 0.71): near-Butterworth sealed, smoothest rolloff; system resonance approx. 102 Hz; recommended for sealed 2-way PA tops
Vented alignments of 5-10 liters tuned to 55-75 Hz are available as a tertiary option for maximum bass output in compact PA applications, with port velocities within hi-fi limits.
