W6v2 Subwoofer Drivers
What if the compromises inherent in speaker design could be negotiated
to create exceptional sound quality and output in very compact
enclosures?
What if you could apply years of intense research and vast experience in subwoofer driver design to such a project?
What if the freedom existed to engineer every component of the new design from the ground up?
You are looking at our answer to these questions, the W6v2 drivers.
At
first glance, you're likely to notice the striking cast alloy frame
design. These frames are much more than cosmetic enhancements, having
been specifically engineered to provide increased clearance for greater
excursion and to incorporate our patented Elevated Frame-Cooling
technology. This cooling scheme directs high-velocity air flow over the
top surface of the top-plate and onto the upper portion of the voice
coil windings (the two hottest parts on a woofer). For style points,
the mounting flange of the frame is dressed with a removable black
trim ring (Patented) which can be painted to match the theme of the
installation.
Like the W7's, the W6v2 subwoofers benefit
from JL AUDIO's proprietary Dynamic Motor Analysis system (DMA). This
advanced technology allows us to optimize motor behavior, while taking
into account the effects of real power flowing across the voice coil.
The result is dynamically stable and linear motor behavior, which
translates directly into reduced distortion and improved transient
performance.

The
diaphragm design also relies on W7 technology, utilizing our W-Cone
(Patented) design and Floating Cone Attach Method (Patented). This
results in a lightweight, stiff and critically aligned moving assembly
(again enhancing sound quality). The diaphragm also incorporates a new
(Patent-Pending) "NeckVent" design to enhance cooling performance.
Co-extruded, insulated lead wires lead to a configurable patch panel
which makes it easier and cleaner to interconnect the dual voice coil
windings. A single pair of high-grade push terminals acts as a main
input connection.
All this technology comes together to
deliver subwoofers that excel in thermal power handling, linear
excursion capability and dynamic stability; all of which contribute to
the original goals: The ability to have amazing low-frequency extension
in compact enclosures, razor sharp definition of complex bass material
and audiophile sound quality at any volume level...
...in other words, the balance of power and finesse.
All W6v2 Subwoofers are built, with fanatical attention to detail, in our Miramar, Florida factory.
