Extended Mid performance to enable Bass and Mid Bass from one speaker!
97 dB SPL 1W/1m average sensitivity
900 W AES rms power handling
88 mm (3.5 in) Tetracoil dual voice coil
Ultra linear suspension behaviour for excellent sound clarity
Symmetric flux density and inductance behaviour
Low noise forced air cooling design
Extremely balanced BL shape for maximum SPL
Optimized thermal conductivity
Ideal for two way and line array loudspeaker designs

Sub bass to Mid bass in one speaker!!
18 Sound's 12TNLW3500 offers the lowest possible intermodulation distortion in extended band working ranges making it ideal to use bass and mid bass designs.
The 12TNLW3500 works great in the low end situations but can be also extended up to 2khz, this enables PA designers plenty of freedom in designing a speaker cabinet, they are mainly used for line array and two ways cabinets applications.

The Eighteen Sound 12NTLW3500 represents the latest technology for high quality, low distortion applications.
Dual Gap technology comes directly from the Tetracoil motor structure and uses the this concept to maximize its benefits in terms of thermal dissipation and Bl symmetry to achieve a wider frequency band, making the 12NTLW3500 the perfect component both as a woofer and mid bass.
Dual gap motors linearize inductance and deliver the perfect balance between the motor and the ultra linear suspension allowing both very high excursion and extreme precision in the mid band with the lowest intermodulation distortion in the professional audio market.

Designed & manufactured in Italy and provided exclusively by Lean Business, this Eighteen Sound speaker comes complete with 2 years warranty.
