Frequency Response and Impedance Curves
Black: LF response curve | Red: HF response curve
Power rating: Tested for two hours using a continuous, band-limited pink noise signal as per AES standard. Power calculated on minimum impedance. Loudspeaker tested in free air.
HF power rating: Tested for two hours on plane wave tube using a continuous, band-limited pink noise signal as per AES standard. Power calculated on minimum impedance.
Continuous power rating: Defined as 3dB greater than the AES rating.
Sensitivity: Measured on axis at 1W, 1m in 2π anechoic environment.
Xmax: 0.5*(Hvc-Hg) + 0.25*Hg
