The specific parameters include Fs of 51 Hz, Re of 3.5 Ω, Qt of 0.59, a sensitivity of 88 dB, Vas of 12.6 liters, and an effective diaphragm area Sd of 123 cm².
The Silver 16W/4531G06 stands out due to its outstanding specifications, resulting from the combination of innovative technology and high-quality materials. In particular, the patented symmetrical neodymium magnet system offers unparalleled magnetic stability and efficiency. The mid-woofer features a 6.5" sandwich paper diaphragm capable of covering a wide frequency range with minimal distortion. Additionally, the lossless linear suspension is unique in its ability to minimize noise levels and keep the sound clear. These features make it ideal for high-end automotive applications.
The 4 Ohm impedance of the Silver 16W/4531G06 plays a crucial role in controlling the electrical load required by the amplifier to drive the speaker. A lower impedance means that less electrical voltage is needed to allow the same amount of current to flow, enabling the amplifier to deliver more power and thus achieve a higher volume. For integration into complex audio systems, this impedance is often better suited as it allows the amplifier to operate more efficiently and maximize sound quality.
When installing the Silver 16W/4531G06, correct placement and mounting are crucial for optimal performance. The aluminum die-cast basket provides the necessary shape stability for precise fitting. A subwoofer enclosure with a volume of at least 12.6 liters according to the Vas value should be chosen to ensure optimal acoustic properties. Make sure that the environmental conditions respect the temperature sensitivity of the neodymium components. The speaker should be positioned to minimize interference from other components. Ventilation through the pole piece hole, protected by the grille, is important to avoid overheating.
The symmetrical neodymium magnet system of the Silver 16W/4531G06 ensures an even distribution of force in the coil, leading to more precise signal reproduction. This symmetry significantly reduces distortion, especially at high volumes. Neodymium as a material offers a high magnetic field strength, enabling unique efficiency in a compact format. This has the advantage that the speaker can be produced powerfully even with a compact design and low weight. Since the magnetic structure is symmetrical, it improves the linearity of the diaphragm movement and results in a more detailed and dynamic sound.
The specifications of the Silver 16W/4531G06 are crucial for its performance. Fs, the resonance frequency of 51 Hz, defines the deep bass range in which the speaker operates efficiently. Re of 3.5 Ω indicates the DC resistance, which is important for matching with amplifiers. Qt of 0.59 shows the total damping and affects bass reproduction. Vas of 12.6 liters is the equivalent volume of the diaphragm control capacity and determines the required enclosure volume for optimal bass reproduction. Together, these parameters influence the timbre, volume, and ultimately the sound quality of the system.
The 6.5" sandwich paper membrane in the Silver 16W/4531G06 from Scanspeak Automotive offers remarkable acoustic properties that are essential for clear and precise sound. The choice of materials combines lightweight construction with high stiffness, making the membrane less susceptible to distortion at high amplitudes. This combination allows for quick and precise responsiveness in dynamic sound profiles, which is particularly advantageous in demanding music genres such as classical or electronic music. Additionally, the special sandwich construction contributes to shape stability while simultaneously increasing internal damping to avoid excessive vibrations.
The Xmax value of the Silver 16W/4531G06 is ±6.5 mm, which represents the maximum displacement of the diaphragm. This parameter is important as it describes the speaker's ability to reproduce low frequencies without distortion. A higher Xmax value allows the speaker to deliver clear deep bass at high volumes. This is particularly relevant for users who enjoy music with low frequencies, such as dubstep or hip-hop, at high volume. The ability to achieve such displacements without the diaphragm breaking is a sign of high engineering and design quality.
The Silver 16W/4531G06 can be integrated into many different car models as long as the dimensions are taken into account. With a diameter of 6.5" and a mounting depth of standard mid-bass dimensions, the installation location must provide enough space. Many modern vehicles offer speaker openings that are tailored to this size category. The aluminum die-cast basket contributes to stability and secure mounting. For custom or non-standard installation locations, measurements should be taken before installation to ensure that this high-quality speaker can be optimally used.
The sensitivity of 88 dB of the Silver 16W/4531G06 describes the volume that the speaker can produce with one watt of power at a distance of one meter. This specification is crucial for pairing with amplifiers, as higher sensitivity means that the speaker will play louder at the same amplifier power. This is particularly advantageous for car owners who do not want to use an additional amplifier setup. However, it should be noted that this sensitivity should be assessed in the context of other specifications to adequately understand the overall performance of the speaker in the vehicle.
