HIP Woofer - What is it?

Recommended Posts

This woofer looks like a E-V SP-12-something to me. Is it? It is in a pair of HIPs I bought. The crossover network is a Type AA with the values adjusted for the 700 Hz crossover of the squawker horn (8 uF instead of 13, woofer inductor in unknown). That means the horns are run at 104 dB! How can this little woofer keep up? They are pretty hot, but still have some bass. What technical specs can you provide? Klipsch says a recone *should* be possible, if one ever needs it.

Private label (OEM) version of the EVM12L

12L PL

Fs=55hz

Vas=2.9 cu ft

Sd=78 sq in

Re=5.20 ohms

Qts=0.232

No=4.3%

Xm=0.130 in

Pe=300W

I would recommend a quasi SBB4 for hi-fi, and just port it to 50hz(12 sq in X 4" long).

These things get up to about 103dB/W in the 1Khz region.

Again, for hi-fi I would change the taps to the same as a Cornwall, reduce the 8µF to 4µF, and add a zobel across the woofer. I don't know what the Le is so try about 22µF + 8 ohms to start.

If you want to use it for PA just leave it the way it is.
