The 18IDSDS design features include a large displacement suspension system specifically designed for matching the composite fiber reinforced, straight ribbed cone. Thanks to the Double Silicon Spider (DSS) technology, the 18IDSDS200 is able to control the moving mass with high linearity, showing an exceptional stability of mechanical parameter values in the long term. Bl force factor, as well as all other electro-dynamic parameters, are linear within the working range. This, together with the exceptional high excursion behavior, ±18mm linear Xmax - makes the 18IDSDS200 an extremely low distortion, highly dynamic transducer. The 18IDSDS features a state-of-the-art 5,3" inside outside ISV copper voice coil enabling the 18iD to deliver extraordinary transient results. The 18IDSDS has been developed after intense FEA and fluidodynamics simulation and testing,focusing on dissipating the heat generated by the powerful voice coil. Special attention was given to the optimization of air flow into the gap without introducing audible noise. A low density material air diffractor placed into the heatsink acts as a cooling system, increasing the power handling capability and lowering the power compression figure.
