Description

The AL 130 M shares the AL 130's stiff anodised aluminium cone, cast aluminium basket, rubber surround, vented pole plate and vented damper, but its shorter voice coil gives higher sensitivity in the midrange, so it is intended for cone midrange duty. This 8 Ω version takes 60 W rated power, produces 90 dB (1 W/1 m) and resonates at 57 Hz.

Typical applications

  • Midrange in multi-way systems
  • High-end hi-fi systems

Installation and cabinet guidance

Allow a 115 mm panel opening for a 153 mm frame, with the fixing holes on a 141 mm circle and 4.3 mm holes countersunk to 8.3 mm. Behind the panel leave about 58 mm of clear depth for the basket and the 85 mm magnet, with room beyond that for the terminals and the wiring. Mark the fixing holes from the driver itself rather than setting them out by measurement.

Mount it on a rigid baffle with a continuous gasket or sealing strip between the frame and the panel, and tighten the fixings evenly and only enough to seal so the cast frame is not pulled out of shape. Travel is limited to ±5.5 mm, so keep the cone and the rubber surround clear of the grille and of any internal bracing and check the clearance at full excursion. The terminals take 4.8 x 0.8 mm blades on the positive side and 2.8 x 0.8 mm on the negative, so blade size identifies polarity; observe it and use an amplifier or crossover suited to the 8 Ω load.

The lower cut-off depends on the enclosure volume and tuning, so test the driver in the intended enclosure at the intended listening level before finalising the cabinet. Used as a cone midrange it will normally sit behind a high-pass section, so choose the crossover points with the enclosure and the intended level in mind.
