With the Ellipticor family, a long tradition of circular motor structures and their inherent breakup behaviour has been broken since one of its key features is an Ellipticor voice coil and magnet gap. In combination with the powerful SD AirCirc magnet system, the 18WE has high sensitivity, very low distortion, and extremely fast response to transients. Above all a TRUE TO LIVE sound which makes 18WE/4542T00 one of the very best mid-woofers on the market!
