Detailed Features Explained

4" Inside-Outside Copper Voice Coil

This voice coil is expertly engineered with high-grade copper for greater heat dispersal and signal accuracy. Its inside-outside winding approach provides consistent power handling and responsive bass reproduction. Audio professionals benefit from clear, distortion-free performance even at higher sound levels, giving a significant edge over standard coils which may overheat or lose clarity.

Neodymium Magnet Construction

The use of a neodymium magnet significantly lowers the driver's weight compared to traditional magnet materials—without compromise on sound clarity or efficiency. This practical design enables easier installation, transport, and handling, particularly advantageous for frequently moved systems or touring audio professionals.

Double Spider with Silicone-Based Dampening

A silicone-enriched double spider ensures stable cone movement and reduces distortion. By maintaining uniform motion even at extended excursion, it significantly improves bass accuracy and consistency. This feature addresses common problems such as cone instability and noise distortion, differentiating this driver from basic, single-spider alternatives.

Die-Cast Aluminium Basket

The aluminium basket is structurally solid and helps to prevent magnetic interference issues common to metal speaker frames. This translates into clearer audio output and enhances the general purity of sound reproduction. Users encounter less interference in complex sound setups, a noticeable improvement over other basket constructions.

Glass-Fibre Cone

The PD18NW features a reliable and resilient cone made from glass-fibre reinforced material. 

Recommended Uses and Audience

The PD18NW serves as an ideal solution for professional sound engineers, event companies, and acoustic system builders seeking premium-quality replacement speaker drivers. Perfectly suitable for most subwoofer cabinets, it performs notably well in both bass-reflex and band-pass cabinet designs. Whether employed for large venues, festivals, nightclubs, concert stages, or installation projects, this subwoofer consistently meets demanding audio needs with ease.

Most audio specialists dealing with regularly transported PA systems will appreciate the lightweight design afforded by neodymium magnets. Additionally, sound installations in challenging environments such as open-air concerts or semi-outdoor events will benefit from the waterproof cone's reliability.
