NHF3-dsw4
Nearfield high-fidelity drive unit — 3 inch, steel basket, weatherized
Description
The NHF3-dsw4 is a 3 inch full-range balanced mode radiator. Rather than moving as a piston, the diaphragm is tuned to bend in controlled modes, which holds dispersion wide and even to the top of the band and keeps phase coherent off axis.
Supplied as a bare drive unit for designers building their own enclosure.
Construction
- Steel basket — holds the motor located under sudden impact and handling loads
- Weatherized for damp and outdoor-adjacent installation
- High-temperature neodymium motor with full magnetic shielding
- Flat front, square frame — drops into a 3 inch square aperture
- Fitted as the drive unit in the Crafted FOUR.2
