Strange Sony Subwoofer Driver Test

  • Опубликовано: 9 фев 2018
  • A very interesting subwoofer driver made by Sony. It has two massive voice coils on separate ends of the former, and two spiders. While the mechanical noise is quite high, this is to be expected given how small the vent on the back is, and is inaudible in the enclosure.

      the built in 250W ICEpower amp in the SA-WD200 is not fit for purpose - mine has started cutting out after a few secs. OK it's 16 years old but it's just being put under too much strain by those drivers. The box also has port noise... I'm going to make a box (I was thinking around 0.5 cu ft, but I since saw that the Vas is 0.03 cu ft per driver - is it really that low?!) with a 3" tube port flared at both ends tuned to around 42Hz with a BK BSBPV500 in the back which should give the subs the power they deserve to go with the box they deserve :)

    Hi, I just recently found your channel and so far I’m enjoying it, over the weekend i ordered a lepy amp and it should be here tomorrow, I know you own one of these mini amps so I was wondering if I could hook up a Samsung home theater sub to both channels for more power, would that work? Thanks

    It uses a similar dual coil - dual gap technology like JBL did with their old WGTI subwoofers.
    This driver an extremely high total Q, and it has the lowest sensitivity of any driver that I have ever seen.

    • @wdbaudio
      @wdbaudio  6 лет назад

      Corrado VRz indeed! Similar to Paradigm concept loudspeakers too

    • @wdbaudio
      @wdbaudio  6 лет назад

      Regular Guy Audio it's due to the insanely high moving mass

    • @300ZCorradoVR6Z
      @300ZCorradoVR6Z 6 лет назад

      Indeed, that is a very heavy mms for such a small driver.

    • @wdbaudio
      @wdbaudio  6 лет назад

      Corrado VRz I've seen a driver with Qms of 11, but I can't remember what it is. I'll try and find it again!

    • @300ZCorradoVR6Z
      @300ZCorradoVR6Z 6 лет назад

      Qms is the mechanical Q of the driver, Qes is the electrical Q and Qts is the total Q. A high Qms is good (it's better for low level detail and don't require a ton of power to sound good), but high Qes and Qts isn't good and will require a much larger box for a given flat response. I prefer drivers with a Qts between 0.35 - 0.45 or as close to it as possible and Qms above 4.

      Well 70 db spl is extremely low considering that your average subwoofer ranges between 85-90. Interesting design though!

    • @wdbaudio
      @wdbaudio  6 лет назад

      -SakiSkai- mainly pro audio subwoofers with sensitivity that high. Although my Tymphany STW is 87dB efficient and that driver has over half a kilo of moving mass
