Overview
SEAS Nextel W12CY-006 (E0091) SEAS Excel Nextel Cone 4.5" Woofer
The new W12CY006 (E0091-08) is the second product recently launched into our updated Nextel Excel series, which brings the newly updated linear low-distortion magnet system design with titanium voice coil former into this series. It is a successor to the famous W12CY003 (E0044-08S). The new driver continues our high-end paper cone heritage with the 2-layer Nextel coating technology and as a special feature, the W12 also has a new edge coating. With the smooth frequency response, it is suitable as a dedicated midrange in a 3-way design.
The W12CY006 is featured with an edge-coating on the surround. It maintains a smooth response with no disturbances in the critical midrange and a roll-off profile allowing simple crossover networks to be used. In principle with the high bandwidth allowing for simple electrical 1. order crossovers.
The motor-design represents the state-of-the-art regarding linearity and low distortion. Low mechanical and electromagnetic damping ensure high quality reproduction of even the finest micro details in music. At the same time, the high-performance titanium voice coil former and its connection to the cone has very high power-handling, suitable for modern amplifiers (e.g. Class-D).
The W12CY006 has what listeners will experience as improved dynamic headroom, with the ability to keep focus when playing loud passages. Overall, the W12CY006 provides a remarkable balance, with a synergy of resolution of details and a non-aggressive presentation.
The color of the new coating is a bit lighter than previous designs and it now matches the color of our Excel Graphene products, such that paper and magnesium cone drivers can be combined in one loudspeaker design.
Paper cone with a unique Nextel top coating combined with a back coating and a carefully placed edge coating for extra damping gives an unparalleled smooth and detailed paper cone sound.The FEA optimized motor-design represents the state-of-the-art regarding linearity and low distortion. Low mechanical and electromagnetic damping ensure high quality reproduction of even the finest micro details in music. At the same time, the high-performance titanium voice coil former and its connection to the cone has very high power-handling.
The smooth frequency response and ample linearity make it very suitable both as a dedicated midrange in a 3-way design, or as a woofer in a small compact speaker.
The extremely stiff and stable injection moulded metal basket keeps the critical components in perfect alignment. Large windows in the basket both above and below the spider reduce sound reflection, air flow noise and cavity resonance to a minimum.
