APPLICATIONS
Built according to the same concepts as SP5050, this model which
belongs to our sound reinforcement Contact Class is equipped with
a classical two layer coil, which allows it to be used in larger Reflex
enclosures (80L to 110L tuned at 40Hz) with the same sound
qualities as the SP5050.
SP5100 can also be X-overed up to 800Hz, and exhibits a good
quality to price ratio. FEATURES
Power handling capacity 400 W AES
Reference efficiency(1W @ 1m) 98 dB SPL
SPL max (continuous) 120 dB SPL
Usable frequency range 40-1500 Hz
Environmental withstanding Outdoor
DESIGN CONCEPT
DEFLECTION CONTROLLED DIAPHRAGM optimized for dynamic
damping. DEFLECTION CONTROLLED DIAPHRAGM technology consists
in optimizing the shape and material of the diaphragm so that it
works as a mechanical transmission line, to avoid breaking modes
as well as mechanical threshold which destroy sound quality.
This leading edge technology offers substantial sonic advantages.
Among them: sound coherency, fast transients, stable sound
imaging, high sensitivity, wide frequency range and reduced
directivity pattern.
VENTED COMPACT MAGNET SYSTEM. It has been carefully
optimized to obtain maximum transducing efficiency while
avoiding unlinear behavior such as coil inductance variation with
position, flux modulation, harmonic distortion, rest position offset,
air compression and off-axis voice-coil pushing.
Its design incorporates a T-shaped and vented pole piece, and
a flux stabilization ring. It also takes into consideration
demagnetization at cold temperatures.
INTERCOOLER SYSTEM (patented). Entirely integrated into the
loudspeaker itself, the INTERCOOLER SYSTEM extracts the heat
produced by Joule effect in the voice-coil by the means of an air
flow directed through the heatsink rims of the basket by the
motion of the dust-cap and the spider.
The gain brought about by this technology is over 20 % of extra
power, so for example, a 3”coil according to this design has
the same power handling capacity as a classical 4”one.
