Features

  • 101 dB SPL 1W / 1m average sensitivity
  • 75 mm (3 in) Interleaved Sandwich Voice coil (ISV)
  • 450 W AES power handling
  • Weather protected cone and plates for outdoor usage
  • Excellent transient response
  • Improved heat dissipation via unique basket design
  • Ideal for compact two way and multiway systems
The 12MB600 is a high sensitivity (101dB 1W/1m) midbass driver with high power handling
capabilities. It can be used as either a bass/mid driver in compact 2-way reflex enclosures or as a
direct radiating or horn loaded, dedicated midrange driver, in multi-way touring and fixed
installation concert and arena systems. The curvilinear paper cone is made with a special high
strength wood pulp designed to achieve the best possible linearity within its intended frequency
range and to control bell-mode resonances around the cone circumference. The cone is carried
by a multiroll suspension formed from a linen-like material which is more resistant to aging and
fatigue than traditional materials. The 75 mm aluminum wire voice coil employs the Interleaved
Sandwich Voice coil (ISV) technology, in which a high strength fiberglas former carries windings
on both the outer and inner surfaces to achieve a mass balanced coil. This results in an
extremely linear motor assembly with a reduced tendency for eccentric behavior when driven
hard. Voice coil cooling has been achieved by incorporating airways between the chassis back
plate and the top plate of the magnet which allow heated air from the voice coil and gap to be
channeled away and dissipated by the chassis basket. The magnetic structure has been
optimized using FEACAD resource which has maximized the flux density in the voice coil gap. The
ability to perform properly under inclement weather conditions is a feature in Eighteen Sound's
philosophy. Hence, an exclusive treatment is applied to the cone giving it water repellent
properties. In addition, another special treatment is applied to the top and back plates making
the transducer far more resistant to the corrosive effects of salts and oxidization.
