Voice coil diameter on Rl-p's?

[noah katz 0]

What are the voice coil diameters of the R-lp drivers?

Are they based on the TC9? I thought I read somewhere that they were, but the T-s parameters are pretty different.

Thanks

2.5" i think

does it really matter ?

3" voicecoil on the RL-p (maximum power handling of 1200 watts,

reaching full excursion in most applications with 600-700 watts).

Yes it is a TC9 based design, with a modified suspension and

various materials used that are different from the OG TC9's,

such as NBR rubber surround and the annodized aluminum cone.

that cone= pure sweetness

Mike,

"3" voicecoil on the RL-p"

Awesome. What's you're preferred way of being contacted about a quote on eight RL-p12/4's, and the possibility of getting surrounds from the 15" RL-s to build a bunch of passive radiators?

Should I email you here or via soundsplinter.com?

"does it really matter"

It gives an indication of the amount of thermal mass in the voice coil assembly; the higher that is the less short term output compression there will be.

Also there's more associated surface area for dissipating heat, which reduces long term compression.

Mike, what kind of measures does the TC9 have for ventilating the voice coil area?

Thanks a lot

Heat dissapation from the voicecoil is sourced through the pole vent and the heatsinked aluminum cone.

For pricing, ordering, and discussion your PR's - do send me an email.

The aluminum cone is something I like a lot.

For the life of me I can't understand how the heat gets out of a tightly sealed, insulation stuffed box.

I mean, I've made paint drying ovens with a leaky cardboard box and a 100 W light bulb.

I can only conclude that the average power is inly a few tens of watts at most.
