COAXIAL

15CO2P / 15CO2P-SLF*
Coaxial loudspeaker designed for professional use in touring or fixed
applications. It employs a 1" titanium compression driver coupled with a 15

woofer damped and cooled with ferrofluid (Ferrosound ). High perfomance
compact systems can be designed easily with the added advantage of the
almost point source characteristic that a coaxial offers, virtually eliminating
the delay problem between adjacent acoustic sources. This coaxial
loudspeaker can be successfully used in floor monitor applications or in
sound reinforcement systems. Any suitable designed, bi-amplified system
will deliver outstanding power with a superb frequency response.

Power handling specifications refer to normal speech and/or music program material,
reproduced by an amplifier producing no more than 5% distortion. Power is calculated as
true RMS voltage squared divided by the nominal impedance of the loudspeaker.

Power handling specifications refer to normal speech and/or music program material,
reproduced by an amplifier producing no more than 5% distortion. Power is calculated as
true RMS voltage squared divided by the nominal impedance of the loudspeaker. This
voltage is measured at the input of the recommended passive crossover when placed
between the power amplifier and loudspeaker.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT AMPLIFIER

60 The power amplifier must be able to supply twice the RMS driver power. This
20 200 20k 3 dB headroom is necessary to handle the peaks that are common to
Hz musical programs. When the amplifier clips those peaks, high distortion

Distortion Curve, 3rd harmonic.
NON-LINEAR VOICE COIL PARAMETERS
Due to its close coupling with the magnetic assembly, the voice coil in
electrodynamic loudspeakers is a very non-linear circuit. Using the non-
linear modeling parameters Krm, Kxm, Erm, Exm from an empirical model,

we can calculate voice coil impedance with good accuracy.
