ScanSpeak 18W, 8531G00 MidWoofer - Revelator Range

Revelator mid-woofers are famous for their Scanspeak Sliced Paper Cones; the slices are filled with damping glue. The effect is to reduce break-up nodes in the 7" cone and give a midrange clarity and overall smooth frequency response, which has made this top audiophile range uniquely successful.

Symmetrical Drive SD-1 Motor, Die-Cast Aluminum Chassis vented below the spider.

Low Loss linear suspension, large ferrite magnet system and high output.
