Description

The G 50 FFL has a damping-coated fabric dome and a highly damped surround, giving a linear response free of partial oscillations, while the powerful magnet drive and ferrofluid-cooled voice coil give high efficiency and power handling. This 8 Ω version is rated at 120 W with a 12 dB/oct. high-pass from 800 Hz, gives 90 dB (1 W/1 m) and resonates at 455 Hz.

Typical applications

  • Dome midrange in multi-way systems
  • High-end hi-fi systems

Installation and cabinet guidance

Allow a 106 mm panel opening. The faceplate is 140 mm in diameter, with 4.2 mm fixing holes countersunk to 7.5 mm on a 126 mm circle; mark them from the unit itself rather than assuming the spacing. Behind the panel allow about 48 mm for the 100 mm rear housing, plus room for the terminals and the wiring, and confirm the depth available before committing to a slim cabinet.

Mount it on a rigid baffle with a continuous seal between the faceplate and the panel, tighten the fixings evenly and only enough to seal so the faceplate is not distorted, and keep the dome clear of any grille. Connect to the 4.8 x 0.8 mm (+)/2.8 x 0.8 mm (-) blade terminals with matching push-on connectors and observe polarity; the two blade widths identify it. The power ratings apply only with a 12 dB/oct. high-pass filter from 800 Hz, so feed it through the system crossover or a high-pass filter that gives at least that protection; never connect it directly to a full-range signal. At 1.0 kg it is a substantial unit, so make sure the baffle and the fixings can carry it. Use an amplifier suitable for the 8 Ω load.
