B&C Speakers - 12NW100 4 Ohm

In configurations where a 12" speaker is expected to deliver true bass efficiency without sacrificing clean low-midrange articulation, the 12NW100 4 Ohm from B&C Speakers offers a particularly interesting balance.

This model uses a compact neodymium motor that reduces weight while maintaining high flux density. The result is a high-performance, lightweight component that's easy to integrate into mobile systems or touring loudspeakers.

The heart of the loudspeaker is a ventilated 100 mm copper voice coil mounted on a fibreglass support, and accompanied by a double silicone spider to withstand strong excursions while maintaining control.

The 25 mm winding, combined with a 12 mm air gap, ensures comfortable power handling up to 2000 watts in programme, with good linearity even at high levels. Its working range of 45 Hz to 1.5 kHz means it can be used in both compact cabinets and powerful two-way heads.

The membrane, treated on both sides, is resistant to humidity, making it a good option for outdoor installations too. The entire moving part is optimised to limit mechanical losses, with a sensitivity measured at 92 dB - a balanced value given the travel and extended bass response.

This 12NW100 fits naturally into a 50-litre volume tuned around 50 Hz, with contained depth and simple assembly. It is designed to bridge the gap between compactness, power and fidelity, without unnecessary compromise.
