The VO-W8c from DD Audio features a robust 2.5-inch voice coil. This large voice coil allows for efficient heat regulation and provides a high load capacity of 400 watts RMS and 800 watts peak. A voice coil of this size significantly contributes to reducing thermal compression, which is particularly important at high volumes. The use of CCA (Copper-Clad Aluminum) wire results in an optimal balance between electrical resistance and weight. This greatly enhances performance and ensures accurate reproduction with minimal losses. The sophisticated design of the voice coil supports the wide frequency range of the mid-bass driver.
The aluminum cast frame of the VO-W8c not only offers aesthetic elegance but also significant functional advantages. Such a frame is extremely rigid and resistant to vibrations, which greatly improves sound fidelity. Additionally, aluminum is corrosion-resistant and dissipates heat excellently. This ensures stability during intense use and high temperatures. Especially for applications in demanding environments or at high performance, such as in automotive system construction, the cast frame provides the necessary robustness. Furthermore, this frame is lightweight, which facilitates installation and reduces overall mass.
The VO-W8c covers a frequency range from 60 Hz to 8 kHz. This bandwidth makes the speaker extremely versatile, as it is excellent for both low tones and low mids. The lower limit at 60 Hz allows for powerful and intense bass reproduction, which provides a full sound image in the deep frequencies. The upper limit delivers clarity in the mids, corresponding to the multi-range capabilities of this mid-bass driver. Especially at volumes that far exceed conventional systems, the reproduction remains detailed and accurate.
The short-circuit ring motor of the VO-W8c is another technological highlight that enhances its performance. This motor minimizes distortions that could be caused by magnetic nonlinearities. The short-circuit ring acts like a protective ring around the magnetic field, ensuring that it remains stable even under load. This results in a more uniform frequency and pulse reproduction across the entire working range. Therefore, the sound remains particularly clear and distortion-free even at high loads, which significantly contributes to a precise audio experience.
When installing the VO-W8c midrange driver, the specific dimensions are of great importance. With a mounting diameter of 187.3 mm and a mounting depth of 96 mm, it must be ensured that the intended mounting surface allows for these dimensions. Another aspect is the rear of the speaker with threads, which facilitates the installation of compression drivers. Due to the 30 mm excursion and the 8 mm Xmax, it is important to ensure that there is enough space for movement at maximum displacement. These technical factors are crucial to ensure optimal sound quality and durability.
The VO-W8c achieves a sound pressure level of 95 dBSPL, which speaks to its remarkable audio output capability. A high sound pressure level means that the speaker is more efficient in converting electrical energy into sound waves, ensuring loud and clear sound with low power consumption. Especially if you enjoy listening to music at high volumes, the speaker offers an exceptional listening experience with detailed sound. Thanks to its high sensitivity, even subtle nuances are preserved at high volumes, making the VO-W8c ideal for large spaces or outdoor use.
The Thiele-Small parameters of the VO-W8c, such as Fs, Qms, Qes, Qts, and Vas, are crucial for determining its behavior in different enclosures. The Fs value of 60 Hz describes the resonance frequency, while Qms (2.169) and Qes (0.645) represent the mechanical and electrical damping factors. The Qts value, a combination of Qms and Qes, is 0.497 and determines the overall quality of the system. Vas indicates the equivalent air volume in liters (25.59) that represents the suspension of the speaker. These parameters help you choose the appropriate enclosure to optimally tune the sound.
The RMS power of the VO-W8c from DD Audio is 400 watts and the peak power is 800 watts. RMS (Root Mean Square) represents the continuous power capability of the speaker and is an accurate indicator of the sustained load that the speaker can withstand without damage. The peak power, on the other hand, indicates the maximum load limit that the speaker can endure for a short time before damage occurs. RMS is crucial for everyday use, while peak power describes the potential for short-term volume peaks. This distinction is essential for selecting a suitable amplifier.
The threaded back panel of the VO-W8c offers significant advantages for the installation of compression drivers. This threaded connection allows for the seamless integration of additional acoustic elements without the need for extra drilling or modifications. This results in a cleaner installation and reduces potential vibrations or loosening over time. This design enhances the modularity and adaptability of the speaker, which is particularly interesting for users who want to continuously adjust or expand their audio system. The use reflects DD Audio's focus on thoughtful engineering.
To optimize the sound quality of the VO-W8c, DD Audio relies on a combination of high-quality materials. The poly-cotton surround ensures flexibility and durability, while the ½ roll surround allows for precise movement of the diaphragm. The CCA voice coil wire provides an optimal balance between conductivity and weight, thereby reducing losses. The aluminum cast frame, lightweight yet extremely stable, minimizes resonances. This selection of materials not only ensures a long lifespan for the speaker but also exceptional sound fidelity and resilience, even under the most demanding conditions.
