The Morel UW958 is a subwoofer that impresses with its first-class engineering and outstanding performance. With a nominal power handling of 500 watts and a maximum power output of 1500 watts, this 10-inch subwoofer offers exceptional power capabilities. The 5.1-inch Hexatech voice coil not only provides increased power handling but also improved pistonic excursion. The combination of these technical features makes the UW958 a must-have for audio professionals looking for a high-quality subwoofer. The Masori Lowest Price Guarantee ensures that you always get the UW958 at the best price.

Unique voice coil: 5.1-inch Hexatech for ultimate sound quality

The Morel UW958 subwoofer features an innovative 5.1-inch aluminum Hexatech voice coil. This oversized voice coil significantly improves piston-like excursion, resulting in remarkable sonic fidelity. The large coil significantly increases power handling, allowing the subwoofer to easily handle high power levels. Compared to conventional voice coils, Hexatech technology offers a high degree of heat dissipation, further extending the speaker's lifespan. While an even larger voice coil would further increase power handling, it could also increase the weight and cost of the subwoofer.

Complex magnet system: Dual ferrite for precise frequency control

The Morel UW958's advanced high-energy double-ferrite magnet system ensures precise control across the entire frequency range. The maximum magnetic flux generated by this system ideally supports the drive of the diaphragm, resulting in accurate and powerful bass reproduction. Compared to conventional magnet systems, this system's high energy density provides better performance at lower frequencies. A magnet system with lower energy values ​​could cause the subwoofer to struggle to reproduce low frequencies cleanly.

Impregnable membrane: One-piece construction for stability and durability

The UW958's rigid, one-piece cone and dust cap enhance the structural integrity of this subwoofer. This design minimizes the risk of cone breakage, even under extreme loads, and contributes to precise sound transmission. This construction reduces cone breakage, which can often cause distortion in other subwoofers, ensuring clarity even at maximum volume. A less robust cone could fatigue more quickly and compromise sound quality.

Excellent low-frequency performance: Maximum stroke of 11.5 mm

The Morel UW958, with its 11.5 mm Xmax, delivers outstanding low-frequency performance. The high maximum excursion significantly improves bass reproduction, delivering powerful, precise low-end that is both physically and acoustically impressive. Compared to many competitors in its price range, which often have lower Xmax values, the UW958 offers significantly more flexibility in reproducing bass peaks. A lower Xmax would limit the low-frequency output and restrict the dynamic range.

Aluminum Uniflow frame for maximum airflow and low reflection

The Morel UW958's cast aluminum Uniflow frame is engineered to maximize airflow and minimize reflections. This design choice successfully minimizes resonance effects and increases sonic clarity. Compared to steel frames, which are heavier and less vibration-damping, the aluminum frame offers additional advantages in terms of stability and cooling properties. Switching to a different material could negatively impact the subwoofer's efficiency and weight balance.

Loudspeaker mechanics parameters: Qms at 1.61 and more for precise control

With a mechanical quality factor (Qms) of 1.61, the UW958 boasts excellent damping characteristics. A higher value, as in this case, indicates the subwoofer's ability to efficiently dissipate mechanical energy, resulting in controlled and accurate bass. A lower Qms value could indicate less efficient energy dissipation, which could lead to damping-related distortions in the soundstage.

Electrical quality factor Qes of 0.45 for excellent performance at any amplifier load

The UW958's electrical quality factor (Qes) is 0.45, indicating an ideal balance between efficiency and power. This value allows the subwoofer to optimally convert its electrical input energy into sonic performance, ensuring reproduction free from typical commercially available damage. A lower Qes value would result in a loss of efficiency in the electrical energy conversion process and could result in the need for higher amplifier power.

Resonance frequency Fs at 28 Hz for incredibly deep bass tones

The resonant frequency (Fs) of the Morel UW958 is 28 Hz, which indicates its ability to reproduce extremely low frequencies. This remarkably low value enables the subwoofer to generate impressively deep and powerful bass, capable of producing goosebumps in a typical car audio setup. Compared to subwoofers with higher Fs values, which may obscure subtle low-frequency vibrations, the UW958 is known for its bass performance. If the Fs were to increase, the lowest frequency ranges could become impossible to hear.

Mms of 65.5 g: Optimized moving mass for precise sound

The UW958 has a moving mass (Mms) of 65.5 g, which creates the ideal balance between inertia and reactivity of the diaphragm. A balanced Mms enables fast response times and ensures the subwoofer's ability to accurately reproduce impulse signals. If the Mms were too heavy or too light, the speed of the diaphragm movement could be negatively affected, leading to distortion, especially with complex audio signals.

Cms of 0.47 mm/N: Perfect compliance for dynamic reproduction

With a suspension compliance (Cms) of 0.47 mm/N, the Morel UW958 demonstrates an ideal balance between flexibility and rigidity of the membrane suspension. This compliance maximizes dynamic reproduction for more vibrant and expressive sound reproduction. Lower Cms values ​​could indicate a stiffer suspension, which limits excursion capability and thus the dynamic range.

Vas of 39.5 liters: equivalent volume to optimize the housing design

The equivalent volume (Vas) of the Morel UW958 is 39.5 liters, which has a significant impact on the design of the subwoofer enclosure. This value indicates how the subwoofer will interact with a sealed or vented enclosure for optimal sound results. A correctly tuned enclosure can improve bass reproduction, whereas an incorrectly dimensioned volume could significantly impair performance if the Vas is not accurately considered.

Unusual force factor: BL of 0.64 T for efficient energy transfer

The Morel UW958 features a force factor (BL) of 0.64 T, which largely determines the energy transfer efficiency between the amplifier and the loudspeaker. A higher BL value indicates that the voice coil is effectively driven by magnetic force, resulting in dynamic and precise bass impulses. A lower BL value could indicate less efficient energy transfer, which could negatively impact bass volume and clarity.
