DESCRIPTION
The Electro-Voice TL606DW is an optimally
vented, direct-radiator speaker system for high-
output reproduction of low frequencies to 40
Hz. The TL606DW’s design is based on the
vented-enclosure modeling technique of A.N.
Thiele and R.H. Small, which makes possible a
combination of high efficiency, low distortion,
and extended low-frequency performance in
an enclosure of moderate size.
The TL606DW employs dual DL15W very-low-
frequency reproducers in a 9-cubic-foot (255
liter) enclosure. The DL15W’s high linear cone-
excursion ability (X
max
= 0.22 inches, zero to
peak) and 400-watt long-term average power
capacity contribute substantially to the
TL606DW’s high acoustic output ability (see
Power Handling Capacity section).
APPLICATIONS
The TL606DW is ideally configured for a wide
variety of high-output, low-frequency reinforce-
