Pouya, tht's the price of a Kart-Asian or 2 fridges ! How rificulous ! And you need two at least ! Better 4 fridges for your flat cooling system !

Btw the YT channel of KA mention the release of a 180mm driver soon but no further info .

 

[Marveloudio]

Found a little info here :

https://www.kartesian-acoustic.com/copie-de-high-end

Driver name is : Sub180_vMS

Frequency range is : 30-800Hz

So limited range due to higher VC inductivity and probably a ferrite magnet , so price will be substancially lower!

I have had the same for the last two days. It made my security warning flag as not a private secure site.

They are in Purifi territory now.

With plenty of Xmax (15mm) I find it VERY relaxing to crank up the sound without having the fear to ruin the LF suspension or burning the VC !!

PLUS the enjoyment to shock others by demonstrating what LF capabilities such a long excursion 8 inch woofer has

BIG GRIN TERRITORY

Btw - we should ask The Kartesians about Passive Radiators with same basket/surround like the Dayton E150/E180 PR's were made .....

 

[ErnieM]

Expensive....but nice to see drivers like this available to the diy market.

Same here, google does not work but Safari does...

 

[GM]

So far, Google has worked for me, though load times are long, so definitely 'some-thing' going on.........

A 185 is NOT an 8" woofer. It's a 7".

 

[Marveloudio]

Not a TYPICAL 8 inch , that's right!

But between a 8" and a 7" - there's a universe

With a broader flange it would easily looks like one size larger .. but this quite extreme small flange makes it look like a sports car! (007 territory)

And then the gorgeous magnet!

Maybe I should offer my soul to Mr. D for this driver .. I'm feeling seduced

A 160mm and 200mm version would be also very tempting too!

I should talk to Mr. D making a visit at KAcoustics and suggesting 2 more hot options!

Let's hope for a better future ... (for all of us)

 

[YSDR]

With 193,6 cm2 SD, it's close to a typical 8".

 

[Marveloudio]

WITH 15mm of Xmax (one way) AND much more linearity over the excursion range and at the ends than most other air movers! (see Klippel graphs)

Size matters only ... until you have other options

 

[phase_accurate]

What if you have size AND other options ? A diver like the 15" from the Klinger monitor would be cool but I guess it costs a fortune.

Awesome product from FRANCE :

The best transducer for introduction of a new STUDIO loudspeaker standard?

In combination with a MUNDORF AMTweeter?
