SB Acoustics Satori MW16P / Paper

The SB Acoustics SATORI MW16P 6.5" (16.5cm) bass/midrange driver with patented Paper/Payprus cone is available in a 4 Ohm and 8 Ohm version. The ultra-light cone is driven by a powerful neodymium motor. The resonance frequency around 40 Hz is well outside the useful range, which means that the driver plays extremely linearly in the useful range and is ideal for 2-way use or as a woofer. The generously ventilated centring spider optimizes the rear compression behaviour to a maximum and provides additional cooling.
