The new Dynaudio Esotec MW 162 GT is a smaller version of the MW 162 mid/ bass driver, also a 17 cm (6.5 inch) diameter design with a 75 mm (3 inch) voice coil, housed in a slightly more compact yet rigid stamped steel basket to better allow it to fit into a wider range of drop-in factory automobile loudspeaker locations. This is especially helpful in minimizing labor by eliminating otherwise necessary vehicle modifications during installations where space is limited.
Design, Construction and Application
The Esotec mobile loudspeaker woofers all use glued and thermally bonded styrene butadiene rubber surrounds, which ensure excellent control and reliability, while providing added durability against the elements. For more dynamic power delivery in the bass region, the 15, 17 and 20 cm diameter Esotec mid/bass drivers employ Dynaudio’s traditional doublemagnet motor system while featuring new, upgraded high-density ultra-compressed Ferrite magnets.
The new magnet systems provide an extremely controlled and incredibly precise movement of the voice coil. The result is improved dynamics and greater fidelity to the original music signal. Dramatic musical passages are thus reproduced accurately and without compromise. And with increased cone excursion, even the most powerful transients are delivered without compression.
