Peavey 1208-8 SPS BWX

Description

Voice coil assemblies on the new drivers use the thermoset insulated aluminum or copper ribbon wire, bonded onto an incredibly durable, heat resistant polyimide composite former. The coil wires are solderless diffusion welded to high conductivity OFHC copper foil leads, which are embedded inside the former assembly and soldered to the tinsel leads with high temperature silver solder. The 1508 and 1208 driver series represent a new level of power and performance for Black Widow loudspeakers. The dust cap is also made of the same extremely strong material. The voice coil assembly is bonded to the Kevlar cone and new super tough nylon composite spider using a thermoset epoxy originally develop for attaching nose cones to ICBM missiles truly an aerospace grade adhesive. The magnet structure includes subtle changes to its geometry that improve power handling. The spider and surround are bonded to the frame with a high strength toughened adhesive. Power handling is increased by 40% over other comparable models, along with reduced distortion and higher overall sound quality. Design The BWx series uses a new cone that is a variation on the existing Kevlar impregnated cones used on all Black Widows. While it appears the same as the standard structure and replacement basket from the BWx series will fit on standard BW magnet structures, the improved power handling will be compromised if the standard structure is used.

Key Features

• The series includes 12" and 15" models in both 4 and 8 ohm impedances.
• Voice coil assemblies on the new drivers use the thermoset insulated aluminum or copper ribbon wire, bonded onto an incredibly durable, heat resistant polyimide composite former.
