Features
●
Unique dust cap design which increases the effective surface area and adds positive reinforcement to the woofers cone
resulting in increased SPL.
●
The Hybrid multi layer foam surround has VIBE s unique hi-roll geometry, allowing huge excursion of the woofer cone
without decreasing vital cone area. VIBE s hi-roll surround is kept narrow allowing gains in the surface area of the cone
and rolled tall to allow massive peak to peak excursion resulting in greater volumes of air to be moved than traditional
designs.
●
There are two Versions of BLACKDEATH: whether it s low brutal street bass or hard hitting SPL you are after,
BLACKDEATH delivers. The paper/fibreglass cone of the BD15P has greater mass and superior damping giving a deep,
controlled bass for the street. Whereas the carbon fibre cone of the BD15C has a lower mass and higher sensitivity
making it the preferred choice for the SPL lanes.
●
A cast alloy basket keeps the cone, voice coil and suspension in perfect alignment throughout the whole of the
BLACKDEATH subwoofers massive peak to peak excursion.
●
A specially developed 6 layer conex spider adds immense support to the suspension of the BLACKDEATH subwoofer
keeping the motion of the voice coil completely linear even under the most extreme SPL conditions.
●
A 3 inch vented aluminium voice coil bobbin with 4 layer extra heavy gauge pure copper winding allow the biggest ampere
turn possible resulting in a large increase in BL (the magnetic strength of the motor structure, A high BL figure indicates
a very strong transducer that moves the cone with authority)
●
The heavy gauge speaker cables are directly connected to the voice coil, the Cable consists of 3 sets of 42 silver strands,
this means, for each speaker cable, there are 128 strands which increase the cross sectional area of cable, and lower
the resistance losses significantly over conventional speaker cables and or subwoofer terminals.
●
A huge double stacked Magnet weighing an incredible 8.2kg is the heart of the BLACKDEATH subwoofer. This provides
the massive magnetic field required to propel the woofer cone to incredible SPL levels.
●
The top plate features a narrow, high-velocity air path, this air path leads cool air directly to the voice coil and washer, so
the hot air can be dissipated, it greatly increases thermal power handling and less low frequency distortion.
