DD Audio VO-W712-D4
The DD Audio VO-W712-D4 is a 12″ VO Series PA woofer with a dual 4-ohm voice coil, made to satisfy the underappreciated bandwidth between the bottom end of a midrange and the heavy lows of a subwoofer. With a heritage dating back to Digital Designs’ 1990s 9000 Series, the VO-W700 strikes a balance of clarity and power that puts it in a class of its own, and its compact cast frame makes it ideal for shallow-mount applications with demanding performance expectations.
Key Features
- Multi-Vent Free Flow Cooling System: Multiple vents push cooler air through the motor to keep the 3″ voice coil at operating temperature under sustained 1200W RMS loads
- Aluminum Shorting Ring: Reduces inductance and distortion for cleaner upper-bass and low-midrange response
- 3″ High-Temp Voice Coil: Large-diameter, high-temperature coil for serious thermal power handling
- Excursion Optimized Compact Cast Frame: Rigid cast frame with only 130 mm (5.125″) mounting depth for shallow-mount installs
- High Density Surround: Durable surround supporting 12 mm Xmax and 30 mm Xmech
- Weather Resistant Pressed Cone: Pressed cone built to withstand moisture and harsh environments
- 7.5″ Dual Layer Cloth Spider: Large dual-layer spider for linear, controlled suspension
- Embossed DDesign Magnet Boot: Protective rubber boot with the DD Audio logo
