Haut-parleur sono 30cm FANE Colossus 12MB [COL 12MB-8] Avis/Critiques The Colossus 12MB is intended for use as a very high-output bass mid driver in two-way ported enclosures and also as a bass driver in multiway systems. The unit features a 3-inch voice coil driven by a noninductive motor system which dramatically reduces third-harmonic and intermodulation distortion. The cone membrane, manufactured from Polycellulose, is much stronger and more durable than conventional paper pulp alternatives. This allows the driver to combine high-sensitivity with the structural integrity required to produce undistorted low frequencies at high output levels. The mechanical and electrical properties of the unit have been carefully optimised to allow extended lowfrequency output up to its rated power handling of 450 Watts (A.E.S continuous).

Heat is dissipated from the ultralight aluminium voice coil by a composite glass fibre and black anodised aluminium former. This assists in yielding outstanding power handling from a 3-inch coil, with peak power handling in excess of 1800 Watts. The driver exhibits an average sensitivity of 98 dB and is best used in ported enclosures of 25 to 80 litres.

Frequency Response Data

1 Please inquire about alternative impedances. 2 A.E.S. power handling test. Pink noise bandpass filtered at 12 db per octave with cutoff frequencies of 30 Hz and 300 Hz. Driver mounted in free air, test signal applied at rated power for two hours. 3 The average output across the usable frequency range when applying 1 W/1 m into the nominal impedance. Ie: 2.83 V/8 ohms, 4 V/16 ohms. Fane response curves are measured under the following conditions: All speakers are tested at 1 W/1 m using a variety of test set-ups for the appropriate impedance | LMS using 0.25" supplied microphone (software calibrated) mounted 1 m from wall/baffle | 2 ft. X 2 ft. baffle is built into the wall with the speaker mounted flush against a steel ring for minimum diffraction | Hafler P1500 Trans-Nova amplifier | 2700 cu.ft. chamber with fiberglass on all six surfaces (three with custom-made wedges).
