Design Notes

61FHM mid-woofer was designed for outdoor applications, yet it will shine in hi-fi home and studio applications as well.
Optimized ferrite based magnetic circuit with good air-venting features ensures long lasting performance.
Our engineers have chosen hard-anodized cone with rubber surround for this model. Both of these components are produced with UV stabilizers. Furthermore, REDCATT state of the art adhesives and dispensing techniques ensures waterproof seals in all weather exposed glue joints. Sealing to the exposure can be guaranteed by EVA gaskets or based upon a request by Form In Place Gaskets.
The audio system designers can rest assured we have extensively tested this product with UV exposure, salt exposure and waterproofing.
The extended mid-frequency response allows the systems to be used with higher resonance frequency HF units. For the best performance in the audio systems, we recommend usage in sealed enclosures. In this model the aluminum cone further improves the mid-frequency response and lowers the harmonic distortion artifacts.

Technical Summary

The 61FHMX4-430C is a 6-inch mid-woofer driver designed for hi-fi subwoofer systems, home theater, in-wall and under-seat installations, and similar domestic or automotive applications. It operates at 86.0 dB sensitivity (1W/1m). The driver features a compliant suspension design suited to moderate-volume enclosures with extended low-frequency response.

The driver is intended for use with moderate amplification (approx. 60 W AES / 120 W continuous) and DSP control. A high-pass filter in the range of 21-32 Hz is recommended depending on enclosure tuning, along with proper limiting to manage thermal and mechanical stress. Typical operating bandwidth is 28-100 Hz, suitable for integration with a mid-bass or full-range driver in a two-way system.

This design is particularly effective in single or multi-driver bass reflex systems used in hi-fi two-way and compact speaker systems, home theater, in-wall and in-ceiling installations, and automotive applications, where extended low-frequency response, wide operating bandwidth, and compact form factor are the primary design priorities.

Recommended enclosure volumes are simulated results. For best enclosure volumes and tuning, we recommend secondary simulation and careful evaluation. Several rounds of samples and fine-tuning may be required for optimal results.

Enclosure Recommendations

Recommended enclosure alignments (bass reflex):
- 8 liters tuned to 40 Hz: high output, strong mid-bass, reduced excursion; -3 dB approx. 37 Hz, HP filter 32 Hz
- 10 liters tuned to 37 Hz: balanced response, general-purpose (recommended); -3 dB approx. 34 Hz, HP filter 27 Hz
- 10 liters tuned to 33 Hz: extended low-frequency, requires HP filter protection; -3 dB approx. 28 Hz, HP filter 21 Hz
