Electro-Voice 3-Inch High Frequency Neodymium Transducer ND6-16 User Manual
Technical specifications, General description, Key features
Technical Specifications:
The Electro-Voice ND6 is a world-class high-frequency
compression driver capable of extremely high acoustic output
over a wide frequency range.
Precise engineering, along with careful selection of materials
and advanced driver architecture, has resulted in a driver
that is ideally suited for the most demanding presentation of
high quality music and communications program.
Incorporating Electro-Voice’s exclusive Ring Mode
Decoupling (RMD) through all design phases has produced
drivers with unmatched accuracy while minimizing acoustic
resonances and time domain ringing throughout the driver
structure.
The resulting small size and weight-to-power ratio of the ND6
assures easy installations where weight may be a concern.
The 2.15 Tesla flux density provided by the Neodymium
magnet exceeds that of conventional drivers at a fraction of
the size.
A unique, geometrically optimized 3" titanium diaphragm,
consisting of a one-piece dome and suspension system gives
these drivers an ideal combination of superb high-frequency
response and resistance to fatigue.
Integrated into the ND6’s design is a finned aluminum heatsink
to increase power handling and reliability.
