Description
RCF LF18X451 18" Power: 1800W rms, 3600W prog. Sensitivity: 97 Freq. Range 30-1000 Hz
Incredibly linear frequency response characteristics, the highest power handling of any comparable 18-inch transducer, the lowest power compression. The LF18X451 features 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 54 mm. The new dual forced hyper-venting system guarantee a very efficient voice coil ventilation for minimum power compression and incredible power handling. A double silicon spider system ensures excellent control during large excursions. A fully optimised T-pole design generate the minimum amount of flux modulation.
