HELIX IQ W12-DVC2

ΠεριγραφήHELIX IQ W12-DVC2 Audiophile-Grade Subwoofer with Maximum VersatilityThe HELIX IQ W12-DVC2 sets new benchmarks in the realm of high-performance subwoofers. Designed for discerning music enthusiasts who appreciate both powerful output and superior sound quality, this subwoofer combines cutting-edge technology, a robust construction, and outstanding flexibility. Thanks to its proprietary Tuneable Mass System (TMS), it allows for precise customization of the bass response, enabling it to unfold its full potential in any application – whether in compact sealed enclosures or high-output bass reflex systems.Engineered for High Power and Deep Bass PerformanceWith the recommended power range of 300 to 750 Watts RMS, the HELIX IQ W12-DVC2 offers a wide range of applications and is particularly optimized for high-power amplifier configurations, ensuring consistently precise bass reproduction – even at extreme levels. Its 3-layer Fiberglass-Mylar honeycomb cone provides maximum rigidity and optimal internal damping, effectively minimizing distortion while ensuring tight, controlled, and dynamic low-frequency performance. Exceptional transient response ensures that even complex bass passages are reproduced clearly and with absolute precision.A highly efficient cooling system, featuring a large-diameter vented pole piece and an airflow-optimized basket design, enables continuous air circulation, preventing overheating and thermal compression. This ensures consistent performance, even under prolonged high-output operation, allowing the subwoofer to maintain full power and control at all times.Proprietary Tuneable Mass System (TMS) – Fine-Tuning for Your SoundThe Tuneable Mass System (TMS) introduces an innovative approach to bass adjustment, offering a unique way to customize the acoustic characteristics of the subwoofer. By adding or removing specific weights within the dustcap, the moving mass of the driver can be modified, directly influencing the subwoofer’s response and efficiency.Depending on the chosen configuration, the subwoofer’s sonic profile changes significantly. Without additional weight, the subwoofer maintains a higher resonant frequency, ensuring maximum efficiency and fast transient response – ideal for high-output setups and tight, punchy bass reproduction. Adding mass lowers the resonant frequency, allowing for deeper and more authoritative bass, making it particularly well-suited for sealed enclosures or low-tuned bass reflex systems.This fine-tuning capability enables precise adaptation to enclosure volume and in-car acoustics. A higher moving mass extends low-frequency performance, whereas a lower moving mass improves efficiency, making the subwoofer suitable for operation with moderate amplifier power. This unparalleled flexibility makes the HELIX IQ W12-DVC2 the ideal choice for those seeking ultimate sound precision and adaptability.Flexible Connection for Seamless System IntegrationEquipped with a 2 × 2 Ohms dual voice coil, the HELIX IQ W12-DVC2 offers maximum compatibility with various amplifier setups. Depending on the wiring configuration, it can be operated, aside from the typical 2 x 2 Ohms configuration, at either 1 Ohm or 4 Ohms, making it the perfect match for high-power monoblock amplifiers as well as multi-subwoofer configurations. This ensures seamless integration into both existing and newly designed sound systems.Beyond its electrical adaptability, the subwoofer is designed for versatile enclosure compatibility. In sealed enclosures, it delivers tight, controlled bass with outstanding transient response, while in bass reflex systems, it provides exceptional low-frequency extension and immense output capability. This adaptability makes the HELIX IQ W12-DVC2 the ideal choice for a wide range of system applications.Sophisticated and Robust Construction for Long-Lasting PerformanceDelivering powerful low-frequency performance requires an exceptionally rigid and durable construction. The HELIX IQ W12-DVC2 features a meticulously engineered diecast aluminum basket, ensuring maximum stability while eliminating unwanted resonance. This guarantees consistent and precise bass reproduction, even during extreme cone excursion.Additionally, the subwoofer is equipped with a protective grille that is directly integrated into the basket. This secure mounting not only provides optimal protection for the cone but also allows for seamless integration into the vehicle’s interior. This ensures a safe and stylish installation, which can be particularly advantageous in tight installation spaces or vehicles with limited mounting options, contributing to long-term reliable performance. Thanks to its sturdy construction, the HELIX IQ W12-DVC2 remains highly durable even under heavy loads, delivering pure and consistent sound quality for years to come.Features Audiophile grade subwoofer – ensures sublime sound quality with superior low frequency extension and accurate dynamics Engineered for high power – handles up to 750 Watts RMS for most demanding system designs Proprietary Tuneable Mass System (TMS) – adjustable cone weight allows fine-tuning of Thiele-Small-Parameters pre- and post-installations Powerful deep bass, unique dynamics – 3-layer Fiberglass-Mylar honeycomb cone for maximum precision and optimum inner damping Flexible connection – 2 x 2 Ohms dual voice coil for flexible system configuration Compact enclosure compatibility – high-performance subwoofer designed for space-saving installations Versatile in use – suitable for sealed and bass reflex enclosures for maximum flexibility in system design Sophisticated design – features a meticulous developed die-cast aluminum basket with an integrated grille for durabilityTechnical data– 1 TM 2 TM 3 TMPower handling RMS / max. P750 / 1,500 WattsRecommended amplifier powerRMSfrom 300 WattsImpedanceZ2 x 2 ΩDC resistance Re2 x 1.9 ΩResonance frequency Fs36 Hz32 Hz29 Hz27 HzMechanical Q factorQms5.37Electrical Q factor Qes0.530.590.640.69Total Q factor Qts0.480.530.570.62ComplianceCms96 μm/NEquivalent air volume Vas35 LForce factor B*I18.1 TmSensitivitySPL90 dB @ 2.83V / 1m 87 dB @ 1W / 1mCone area  Sd515 cm²Moving mass Mms199 g252 g305 g358 gCone material Fiberglass-Mylar honeycomb coneMechanical resistance Rms8.5 kg/sVoice coil diameterø63 mmVoice coil winding height 34 mmMax. linear excursionXmax /- 12 mmOuter diameterø327.1 mm / 12.88″Installation diameterø281 mm / 11.06″Installation depth 144.7 mm / 5.70″  Recommended enclosure volumesSealed box Net volume 33 L47 L65 L115 LLower limiting frequency (-3dB) 53 Hz44 Hz37 Hz31 Hz  Bassreflex-Gehäuse Net volume 70 L90 L110 L140 LPort diameterø100 mmPort area 78 cm²Port length 27 cm31 cm37 cm39 cmPort tuning frequencyFb31 Hz26 Hz22 Hz19 HzLower limiting frequency (-3dB) 27 Hz22 Hz19 Hz16 HzTM = Tuning MassScope of delivery1 x Subwoofer IQ W12-DVC2 1 x Installation gasket 2 x Mounting material 1 x Grille 2 x Grille removal tool 3 x Tuning mass (TM) 1 x Data sheetDownloads Datenblatt / Data sheet
