The 15LW1410 represents the updated version of the industry standard 15LW1401 for which can be a direct replacement with improved construction. The transducer has been redesigned for use as a low bass or sub-woofer component in either a more compact reflex, bandpass or horn loaded configuration.
In its reflex configuration, it can be used in extremely compact enclosures, (65 - 130 lt) which is ideal for touring applications, including indoor and outdoor concert reinforcement systems. The reinforced, straight-sided ribbed cone assures smooth response and exceptional strength, with maximum reliability under high mechanical stress. The 100 mm Ø copper voice coil employs the Interleaved Sandwich Voice coil (ISV) technology, in which a high strength fiberglas former carries windings on both the outer and inner surfaces to achieve a mass balanced coil. The weight of the windings are evenly distributed, providing a uniform motive drive. This, in conjunction with the use of state-of-the-art high temperature resin adhesives, results in an extremely linear motor assembly. The already low distortion and sound quality of this loudspeaker has been further improved by the Double Demodulation Rings (DDR) designed to dramatically reduce the intermodulation and harmonic distortion whilst improving the transient response. The 15LW1410s ability to perform properly under inclement weather conditions has been achieved using an exclusive cone treatment improving pulp strength, which gives water repellent properties to both sides of the cone. In addition, a special treatment has been applied to both the top and back plates that is far more resistant to the corrosive effects of salts and oxidization than any other in use today.
