Overview

The TL-1601b has many of the traits of the TL-1601a such as low distortion and low coloration, but it has the added advantage of an eminently high input power of 500 watts. The unit is designed for professional applications including digital-recording monitoring systems and sound reinforcement systems for synthesizer music.

Voice Coil

To increase the input power the unit can handle, the bobbin for the voice coil has ventilation holes which help efficiently dissipate heat. The voice coil is a long-travel type to improve sensitivity and enable a high sound pressure level of 97.5dB (1W,1m). Pure, straightforward sound is assured thanks to the use of super-low-impedance OFC (Oxygen-free Copper) wire for leads.

Magnetic Circuit

Holes in the frame's opening and the magnetic circuit serve to disperse heat quickly, boosting the unit's maximum input power to 500 watts. High-quality magnetic material is used in the circuit to permit high magnetic flux density of 1.24T and  increase the sound pressure level.

Diaphragm

A rugged, yet lightweight cone diaphragm is supported by a corrugated cloth surround coated with special damping agent and suspended by a highly linear suspension system. The result is high sensitivity, low distortion and uncolored sound reproduction.

Housing

A highly rigid die-cast aluminum frame minimizes resonance and vibration. Terminals are rugged binding types that allow the use of thick speaker cables.

TL-1801

Overview

The TL-1801 from TAD (Technical Audio Devices) is a low-frequency speaker system featuring an 18-inch (460mm) driver. It features a high power maximum capacity of 800W, thanks to the combined use of a 100mm diameter x 23mm winding depth, edgewise-wound, oxygen-free copper voice coil, a ferrite magnetic circuit with a high flux density of 1.12T, a lightweight transducer system using a cone made of highly rigid pulp and Aramid fibers, and an advanced heat radiation design. As a result, powerful sound reproduction with a minimum of distortion is possible, even with high-power input. 

The frame for the driver is made of rigid die-cast aluminum alloy to support the magnetic circuit and to allow the transducer system to reproduce powerful, accurate bass. Frame resonance is suppressed by the seven frame arms. The cone is laminated with macromolecular film, and its surface is specially treated to make it water-repellent and prevent cone breakup from degrading sound quality. 

Lightweight moving parts are employed and the voice coil is of the long-travel design, to ensure a high sensitivity of 96.5dB (1W,1m), an exceptionally high figure for its size. The large input terminal permits direct connection of speaker cables up to 14mm² (6 Gauge) in diameter.
