The dual gap family is now complete with the NTLW2500 (2.5" voice coil) speaker platform.
The 15NTLW2500 represents the latest 18sound technology for high quality, low distortion applications. The Dual Gap technology comes directly from the Tetracoil motor structure and uses the same concept to maximize its benefits in terms of thermal dissipation and Bl symmetry to a wider frequency band, making the 15NTLW2500 the perfect component both as a woofer and a midbass, in a perfect power/weight ratio.
The brand new Neo Dual gap motor linearizes inductance and minimizes heating and power compression thanks to the high coil surface that makes heat exchange twice as efficient than with standard single coil drivers. A copper flat wire voice coil with extra turns compared to the smaller diameters of the 2500 family was chosen to increase Bl and maximize sensitivity and performances. The perfect balance we reached between the motor and the ultra linear M-roll suspension allows both very high excursion and extreme precision in the mid band with the lowest intermodulation distortion in the professional market.
This features, together with its extreme low weight (only 3.8 Kg), makes the 15NTLW2500 the perfect component for highest quality line arrays and two/three way systems, thanks also to its 1200 watts power handling capabilities which put the NTLW2500 above the average performances of 3" voice coils traditional speakers.
