Description

The W 100 S pairs a coated paper cone with an elastic rubber surround and a 20 mm voice coil, and its balanced response suits it either to woofer duty in small enclosures or to the low-midrange band of a larger system. This 4 Ω version handles 30 W rated power, resonates at 65 Hz and weighs 0.49 kg.

Typical applications

  • Compact hi-fi speakers
  • Three-way hi-fi speakers (bass/midrange)
  • Subwoofer and satellite systems

Installation and cabinet guidance

Allow a 94 mm cut-out for a frame that measures 122 mm across and stands 6 mm proud of the panel. Behind the baffle the driver needs 48 mm of clear depth over the basket and its 70 mm magnet, so leave room there for the terminals and the wiring. There are five 3.7 mm fixing holes on a 111 mm circle; mark them from the driver itself rather than assuming an even spacing.

Fit it to 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 frame is not pulled out of shape. Check that the cone and the rubber surround stay clear of the grille and of any internal bracing.

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, insulate the joints, keep the wiring clear of the moving parts and use an amplifier suited to the 4 Ω load.

Visaton's published enclosure suggestions for this driver: 4 l closed (fc 95 Hz, Qtc 0.67); 5 l bass reflex with one BR 6.8 port cut to 6 cm (fb 70 Hz); 10 l bass reflex with one BR 6.8 port cut to 5 cm (fb 56 Hz).
