18" | 18FIND
Ferrite Woofer
Key features:
- EXTENDED FREQUENCY RESPONSE
- Optimized venting system
- High power handling
Design notes:
The 18FIND is a high efficiency, (97 dB 1watt / 1 meter) 18-inch woofer with incredibly linear frequency response characteristics, high power handling capability while generating low harmonic distortion artifacts. The 18FIND uses a lightweight glass 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 21mm. Power HandlingAt the core of the 18FIND is it’s voice coil technology featuring a composite Polyimide former material capable of withstanding peak temperatures in excess of 250C, well beyond the thermal requirements of modern professional audio systems. REDCATT has implemented a silicone spider design to ensure long term shape memory, consistency and diminish anomalies associated with spider deterioration.
