ScanSpeak 18W/8531G 8 ohm Revelator Midwoofer
The Revelator series has for years been celebrated for producing the best sounding electro dynamic transducers in the world. Since Scan-Speak was founded in 1970, the audio engineers and R&D experts working on the line have been on a quest to create drivers that reveal all the sound in recordings, hiding nothing from the listener. This quest has resulted in several revolutionary inventions that remove distortion in the magnet systems and in the moving parts of the speaker. The philosophy is that the sound has to be very dynamic, giving a perfect transient response and providing tonal balance.
One of the latest inventions realized in the Revelator midrange design is the sliced paper (or wood) cone, which reduces break-up modes in the membrane dramatically. The result is an undisputed clarity in sound.
Driver Highlights: Low loss linear suspension, sliced paper cone, SD-1 motor
The Scan-speak 18W/8531G-00 is a 7" Revelator mid/woofer. It features a non-resonant cone and dust cap structure, dynamic linear suspension, SD-1 magnet system, “Grasshopper" cast chassis with maximized air flow and resonance terminating mounting system. Less resonance in all structures, lower compression and higher linearity, faster termination of excess energy and higher sound pressure capability. The 18W/8531G should have an F3 of about 50Hz sealed and 35Hz vented.
