UK - Celestion has announced the TF0512HE. In a 5" form factor, the TF0512HE offers extended bass response for its size, thanks to robust construction and materials used. Optimal applications include woofer duties in compact two-way studio monitors or bookshelf speakers, low-profile in-fill cabinets, and even small line array boxes employing one or more units.
A pressed steel chassis facilitates maximum energy transfer while keeping unit weight to a scant 1.4kg (3.1 pounds). Able to handle up to 150W of continuous programme power, the TF0512HE pairs well with the high-output Class D amplifiers often used in today’s most popular active cabinet designs. Kevlar loading adds stiffness and resilience to the lightweight paper cone, keeping sound free of distortion even at sustained high output. The cone is mounted within an Elastomer (elastic polymer) surround, which increases the limits of its excursion thereby enhancing bass response.
An inverted dust cap allows a phase plug to be centred close to the cone, making the TF0512HE perfect for horn-loaded cabinet designs meant to increase projection and perceived loudness in an acoustic space.
The TF0512HE also features a ferrite magnet and copper-clad aluminium voice coil, combining ‘the best of old-school and contemporary’. Its 8-ohm nominal impedance delivers compatibility with the broadest possible range of applications.
