The W 200 S is a 20 cm hi-fi woofer with a strong motor, an extended rear pole plate and a 35 mm voice coil for high power handling, working through a coated paper cone on an elastic rubber surround. This 4 Ω version takes 75 W rated power, has a d.c. resistance of 3.4 Ω and an excursion limit of ±10 mm.
Typical applications
- Two-way hi-fi speakers
- Three-way hi-fi speakers (bass/midrange)
- Large multi-way speaker systems

Installation and cabinet guidance
Allow a 184 mm cut-out for a frame that measures 232 mm across, with the fixing holes on a 218 mm circle for 5 mm screws; mark the hole positions from the driver itself before drilling. Behind the baffle allow about 88 mm of clear depth for the basket and its 100 mm magnet, with room beyond that for the terminals and the wiring.
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. At 1.5 kg, and with an excursion limit of ±10 mm, it repays a braced baffle and a grille set well clear of the cone.
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. Use matching push-on connectors, observe polarity, insulate the joints and keep the wiring clear of the moving parts, and choose an amplifier or crossover suited to the 4 Ω load.
Visaton's published enclosure suggestions for this driver: 15 l closed (fc 67 Hz, Qtc 0.8); 20 l bass reflex with one BR 19.24 port cut to 14 cm (fb 45 Hz); 30 l bass reflex with one BR 19.24 port cut to 11 cm (fb 39 Hz); 50 l bass reflex with one BR 15.34 port cut to 13 cm (fb 33 Hz).
