Description

The FRWS 5 R puts the FRWS 5 concept into a round basket for installations where a square frame will not fit. A lightweight cone and soft surround give wide dispersion and a balanced response above about 250 Hz. This 8 Ω driver handles 4 W rated power and suits small monitoring speakers, model sound and column systems.

Typical applications

  • Model construction
  • Electronic monitoring
  • Narrow speaker columns

Installation and cabinet guidance

Allow for a 45 mm panel opening and a 50 mm round frame. Plan a retaining arrangement that supports the rim evenly without loading the cone or surround. Leave space for the solder lugs and secure the wiring against vibration.

Mount on a rigid panel with a continuous seal around the frame to prevent air leaks and rattles. Keep the cone and surround clear of the grille and internal parts.

Use an amplifier suitable for the 8 Ω load and follow the polarity marks. Solder without prolonged heating, insulate the joints and secure the wires so they cannot touch the cone or pull on the lugs.

For a 100 V line system, connect through a correctly rated line transformer; do not connect this low-impedance driver directly to the line.

Use this impedance version’s enclosure parameters when developing a cabinet, and test the response at the intended listening level. Allow for the volume occupied by the driver and keep damping material clear of the cone and terminals.
