- Dual 4-Ohm voice coil: This allows for an 8-ohm load in parallel or a 16-ohm load in series for home theater setups.
- High-power, low-inductance design: Ensures efficient power handling and minimizes distortion.
- XBL^2 motor technology: Delivers clean and powerful bass with minimal distortion (see below for more info on XBL^2).
- Long linear excursion: Allows for deep bass reproduction without sacrificing control.
- Versatile enclosure options: Works well in both sealed and vented enclosures.
Product details
The SDX10 boasts several features that make it a compelling choice. Its dual 4-ohm voice coil provides versatility, enabling an 8-ohm load for home theater setups or a 16-ohm load in series configurations. The high-power, low-inductance design ensures the driver handles power efficiently while minimizing distortion. Most importantly, the XBL^2 motor technology (explained further below) is key to the SDX10's clean and powerful bass response. The driver also offers long linear excursion for deep bass with excellent control, and functions well in both sealed and vented enclosures, providing further flexibility for your project.
In the context of the CSS SDX12 subwoofer, XBL^2 stands for eXtreme BL Linearity. It's a patented motor technology designed by Adire Audio [Adire Audio] specifically for loudspeakers. Here's a breakdown of what XBL^2 offers:
- Linear BL: BL (Motor Strength) refers to the interaction between the voice coil and the magnet in a speaker driver. Traditional motors exhibit a non-linear BL curve, meaning the force on the voice coil weakens as it moves further from its resting position. XBL^2 technology addresses this by achieving a much more linear BL curve.
- Benefits: This linearity translates to several advantages. It reduces distortion throughout the driver's operating range, resulting in cleaner and more accurate bass reproduction. Additionally, XBL^2 motors allow for shorter voice coils and top plates while maintaining desired force. This can lead to more compact subwoofer designs without sacrificing performance.
