NEW Visaton AL170-8 6.5" Aluminum Cone Midrange Driver 8 Ohm

VisatonPart # 292-7806
Model: AL 170

The Visaton AL 170 is a high-end 17 cm (6.5") low-midrange driver designed for audiophiles seeking precise and dynamic sound reproduction. Its stiff, anodized aluminum cone, solid die-cast aluminum basket, and elastic rubber surround ensure durability and exceptional sound quality. The vented pole plate, vented damper, and Kapton voice coil carrier minimize mechanical and electrical losses, resulting in a fast pulse response ideal for high-fidelity 2-, 3-, and 4-way speaker systems up to 2,500 Hz.

Key Features

  • Frequency response from 38 Hz to 10,000 Hz for wide-range sound reproduction
  • Resonance frequency at 38 Hz for deep bass performance
  • Maximum power handling of 100 W for robust performance
  • Excursion limit of ±11 mm allowing significant diaphragm movement
