* Half space response measured in a 975 litre sealed box ** Normalised bass response in 25 litre vented enclosure tuned to 50Hz Please
enquire about alternative impedances. EIA 426A. power handling test. Pink noise bandpass filtered at 12 dB per octave. Driver mounted in free
air, test signal applied at rated power for 8 hours. Please note that the frequency response measurements are supplied for comparison only
and are not a measure of the low frequency performance which may be achieved in a fully optimised system.
