PRV Audio 12MB2000FT 12" MIDBASS LOUDSPEAKER
DESCRIPTION
- Product Overview
Features
The 12MB2000FT midbass from PRV Audio’s Forte Series offers outstanding durability with high output. This driver will deliver a strong vocal response making it great for high-power three-way systems.
Built for loud, clear vocal performance in tight, compact spaces, with a shallow design that gives only 4.92” of mounting depth powered by ferrite magnet featuring a sensitivity of 98 dB (2.83V/1m) with a large 4” CCAW voice coil.
Highlights
- 4″ CCAW voice coil wound on glass fiber former for hi-temp performance, 8 ohms
- Shallow Design, easy to fit on tight spaces.
- 2,000 watts continuous program power rating makes high acoustical output
- Excellent performance on 3-way systems
- High efficiency, you do not need a lot of power to achieve extreme SPL levels
Featuring an extra thick and stiff, yet light weight cone provides an excellent curve response linear through 5.000kHz to achieve the best possible linearity within the middle frequency range.
Supporting the cone is an inverted double roll cloth surround, designed for high excursion applications allowing it to handle short bursts of excessive power without damage.
To drive the large 4” voice coil, a large ferrite magnet is used with a very precise machined top and bottom plate. Its voice coil is designed to have minimum weight as possible for incredibly quick transient response on its mid bass.
