The 12LW1400 is an extended low frequency loudspeaker which sets a new
industry standard in 12" (300 mm) 4" voice coil high performance
transducers, already accomplished by the 15LW1400 and 18LW1400
respectively. The transducer has been designed for subwoofer or low
frequency component usage in multi-way systems where considerable
amounts of power and low distortion are needed. 12LW1400 is ideally
suited for very high loading cabinets, such as bandpass, horn loaded or
compact reflex configurations. In its reflex configuration, 12LW1400 can
be used in extremely compact enclosures (30 - 60 lt), making it the
ideal choice for touring applications, sound reinforcement or fixed
installations, including indoor and outdoor concert reinforcement
systems. Maximum strength, smooth response and high displacement piston
motion are obtained using Double Silicon Spider technology (DSS) and a
large excursion surround. A special formulation cone material has been
used to enable it to withstand high loading and high power peaks. The
suspension system has been designed to give symmetric large signal
behavior across the whole working range, providing low harmonic
distortion at different excitation levels. An inside outside aluminum
voice coil, based on Interleaved Sandwich Voice coil (ISV) provides high
levels of thermal stability and durability. The ISV technology is based
on a high strength fiberglas former with half the coil wound on the
outside and half on the inside ensuring uniform thermal dissipation on
both sides. It is bonded together using unique high temperature resin
adhesive to achieve a balanced and solid linear motor unit. Double
Demodulation Rings (DDR) technology dramatically reduces the
intermodulation and harmonic distortion whilst improving the transient
response. The top plate and back plate design have been optimized for
cone excursion and maximum symmetric force factor by the use of in-house
FEA Magnetic simulation software. Furthermore, excellent heat
dissipation has been achieved by the special basket design which
incorporates air channels between the basket and magnetic top plate. The
12LW1400 exclusive cone treatment improves pulp strength and gives
water repellent properties to both sides of the cone. In addition, the
special coating of both the top and back plates makes them far more
resistant to the corrosive effects of salts and oxidization than
standard zinc-coated treatment.DATENBLATT
The 12LW800 is a low frequency loudspeaker which sets a new industry
standard in 12" (300mm) Ø high performance transducers, achieving a
remarkable 42Hz downwards extension with 96dB average sensitivity,
handling peak power levels of 4000W with remarkably low distortion and
excellent transient response.
The 12LW800 is intended as the low bass or sub-woofer component, either
in highly compact reflex, bandpass or horn loaded configurations, to
provide clean, linear frequency reproduction at high power levels, or
as part of a compact high power fullrange system. In its reflex
configuration it can be used in extremely compact enclosures (40 - 70lt)
making it ideally suited to portable applications such as road shows
and bass musical instruments, for “wedge” stage monitors, etc.
The high excursion capabilities of the double-action roll surround and
suspension system, in conjunction with the Eighteen Sound Double Silicon
Spider (DSS), has enabled the 12LW800 to achieve very high levels of
linear travel for a 12" unit.
The carbon fibre reinforced curvilinear ribbed cone, with its custom
design surround, assures smooth response and exceptional strength with
maximum reliability under high mechanical stress.
The 75mm Ø state-of-the-art voice coil is similar to that fitted to our
18LW1400 top-of-the-range model. It employs our Interleaved Sandwich
Voice coil (ISV) in which a high strength fiberglas former carries
windings on both the outer and inner surfaces to achieve a mass balanced
coil and providing a uniform motive drive. This, in conjunction with
the use of unique high temperature resin adhesives, results in an
extremely linear motor assembly with reduced tendency to break-up under
high drive conditions.
Excellent heat dissipation is achieved by the incorporation of air channels between the basket and top plate.
Maximum flux concentration and force factor in the gap is assured by the
unique shape and design of the face and back plates, these having been
researched and designed using our in-house Magnetic Flux FEA CAD
resource.
With the increasing use of high power audio systems at outdoor events or
in a marine environment, the ability to perform properly under
inclement weather conditions is another part of the Eighteen Sound
philosophy. This is achieved by means of an exclusive cone treatment
improving pulp strength and giving water repellent properties to the
cone. In addition, special treatment of both the face and back plates
results in a product which is far more resistant to the corrosive
effects of salts and oxidisation than any other treatment in use.DATENBLATT

It can be used witheither direct radiating or horn loaded applications, as well as part of a 2 or 3-way system. It isideally used in stage monitor, auditorium, touring and outdoor systems. The smooth curvilinearpaper cone has a special high strength wood pulp composition designed to achieve the bestpossible linearity within the middle frequency range and to control bell-mode resonancesaround the cone.

possible results with today's available materials in terms of clean and
undistorted LF reproduction at a ultra high SPL, with the lowest
possible power compression figure. Its curvilinear paper cone made from a
special high strength wood pulp, has been designed to achieve the best
possible linearity within its intended frequency range and to control
bell-mode resonances around the cone circumference. The cone is carried
by a triple roll suspension formed of a linen-like material, which is

mm (2.5 in) diameter state-of-the-art voice coil is made with edgewound
aluminum wire winded over a high strength fiberglas former. This results
in an extremely linear motor assembly with a reduced tendency for
eccentric behavior when driven hard. Voice coil cooling has been
achieved by incorporating airways between the chassis back plate and the
top plate of the magnet, allowing heated air from the voice coil and
gap to be channeled away and dissipated by the chassis basket. Special
attention was given to the optimization of air flow into the gap without
introducing audible noise. A special low-density material air
diffractor placed into the heatsink acts as a cooling system, increasing
the power handling capability and lowering the power compression
figure. The magnetic structure has been optimized using FEA CAD
resource, maximizing the flux density in the voice coil gap. Due to the
