10FHW

Introducing the 10FHW: the latest evolution of our acclaimed 10FHW woofer model. This high-efficiency 10-inch subwoofer boasts an impressive 86dB sensitivity (1 watt / 1 meter), delivering extended low-frequency response and exceptional power handling capabilities.

Crafted with a robust anodized aluminum cone assembly and a single roll rubber surround, the 101FHW is designed for durability and performance. Its Nomex spider, complete with stitched tinsel wires, ensures longevity even in high-powered scenarios. Enhanced back plate space and additional venting optimize power handling and cooling, making this woofer a standout in its class.

Our innovative material selection guarantees remarkable strength, high efficiency, and sustained output under the most demanding conditions.

On the magnetic front, REDCATT engineers have developed a cutting-edge ferrite-based magnetic circuit that elevates performance to new heights. This design features a consistent, high-integrity magnetic flux gap, ultra-low distortion characteristics, and an efficient cooling system. With integrated aluminum shorting rings, our optimized magnetic circuit minimizes flux modulation, ensuring exceptional stability and reliability.

Experience the power and precision of the 101FHW—where innovation meets performance.

The 10FHWX8-117D is a 10-inch sub-woofer driver designed for professional bass reflex enclosures, compact touring subwoofers, and high-output installation systems. It operates with 85 dB sensitivity (1W/1m) and delivers a free-air resonance of 24 Hz - unusually low for this cone size - enabling genuine infra-bass extension in a compact format. The driver uses a balanced motor-suspension design with Qts=0.37 that provides good cone control while maintaining usable output across the operating bandwidth. A large volume displacement of 420 cm3 (Sd=346cm2 x Xmax=12.15mm) places this driver in the output class of many 12-inch PA woofers.

In bass reflex enclosures, the driver performs best in net internal volumes of 50 liters, tuned between 23 and 28 Hz. In the balanced alignment (25 Hz tuning), the system achieves an estimated -3dB point at approximately 23 Hz with a 76mm round port of 370mm length and peak port velocity of 14.7 m/s at full rated excursion - comfortably within hi-fi and installation noise limits. The high-SPL alignment (28 Hz tuning, 306mm port) maximises output and cone control for touring applications; the extended alignment (23 Hz tuning, 465mm port) provides the deepest bass extension and is recommended where infra-bass reproduction and DSP-managed protection are available. The driver is intended for use with high-power amplification (approx. 200W AES / 400W continuous) and requires an active high-pass filter in the 20-25 Hz range depending on alignment, with appropriate excursion limiting below the port tuning frequency.

This design is particularly effective in single or multi-driver compact bass reflex systems used in touring, permanent installation, and cinema subwoofer applications where consistent thermal performance, low distortion at high excursion levels, and extended low-frequency output in a 10-inch format are the primary requirements.
