Incredibly linear frequency response characteristics, the highest power handling

WOOFER of any comparable 18-inch neodymium transducer, the lowest power compression.
The LF18N401 uses a fibre loaded cone assembly along with a high excursion triple

roll, constant geometry surround. This combination provides remarkable strength
and a peak to peak maximum excursion of 52 mm. The unique Dual-forced air
venting system guarantee a very efficient voice coil ventilation for minimum power
compression and higher power handling.
PART NUMBER 11100010

Features Applications
4-inch, fibreglass inside-outside copper voice coil The LF18N401 is ideal for use in applications where incredible power handling is
2400 Watt continuous program power handling required, long excursion and light weight. Specially designed for touring, perfect
98 dB Sensitivity for high quality professional bass reflex and bass-horn systems.
The transducer’s low frequency extension and control also makes it ideal for use
30 Hz - 1 kHz Frequency range
within critical listening applications such as studio monitoring subwoofer systems.
Dual-forced air ventilation and 15 mm top plate for
minimum power compression

Notes to Specifications
1 Program Power is defined as 3 dB greater than AES power. - 2 AES standard. - 3 Sensitivity measurement is based on a 100-500 Hz pink noise signal with input power of 2.83V @ 8 Ohms. - 4 Thiele-Small parameters are measured after a
2 hour warm up period running the loudspeaker at full power handling capacity. - 5 The maximum linear excursion is calculated as: (Hvc - Hg)/2 + Hg/4 where Hvc is the voice coil depth and Hg the gap depth. - 6 Calculated for front mounting
on 18 mm thick board.
