SEAS Nextel W12CY-006 (E0091) Nextel Cone 4.5" Woofer

• 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.

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.
