6" | 6NPM
Neodymium Midrange
Key features:
- Very high efficiency midrange
- Ultra low harmonic distortion
- High power handling
Design notes:
The 6NPM is a very high efficiency, (97 dB 1watt / 1 meter in 1l enclosure) 6-inch midrange speaker with incredibly linear frequency response characteristics and ultra low harmonic distortion artifacts. The 6NPM has extremely high sound quality. The 6NPM uses a lightweight paper pulp, specifically developed for this application. This unique cone provides the ideal weight to strength ratio.
Voice Coil
At the core of the 6NPM is it’s voice coil technology featuring edge wounded aluminum ribbon wire. Unique lightweight and very short former provides the ideal transfer of power between the voice coil and the cone assembly and assists in reducing the distortion artifacts. By combining this material with the state of the art adhesives, the 6NPM delivers incredible performance.
The neodymium magnet is in a direct contact with the CNC exposed aluminum section of the basket, hold in place by our thermal transfer adhesives. This design dramatically improves the heat transfer. Further more, based upon a request, we have developed added on aluminum heat-sink. The heat-sink is a recommended optional accessory for applications in sealed mid-range, low volume enclosures.
