JL Audio C7-350cm - Sound Of Tri-State

DESIGN NOTES

Cone and Dust Cap: Vacuum-formed, mineral-filled polypropylene material offers excellent damping and low mass. The cone body features a gentle curvilinear profile to optimize response. A concave dust cap further improves high frequency behavior.

Suspension design: The moving assembly is suspended and damped via a linear profile spider formed from a Nomex®/polycotton blend, and a positive-roll, rubber surround. The two combine to provide optimum damping without prematurely restricting excursion.

Motor Design: The C7-350cm employs a high-density magnetic circuit with a high-grade, neodymium magnet, and a specially machined, U-Yoke motor topology. Motor magnetics have been precisely optimized utilizing advanced FEA tools to reduce distortion and provide linear motor force throughout the driver’s performance range.

A 36 mm (1.42 inch) diameter, overhung voice coil is employed, wound with copper-clad aluminum wire onto a fiberglass voice coil former. The oversized voice coil offers extended power handling capability, minimizing thermal compression and distortion at higher listening levels.

Chassis Design: A purpose-engineered cast alloy basket is employed, featuring thin spokes to maximize rear open area.

Design Bandwidth:

With 48 dB/octave filters: 300 Hz - 6,000 Hz

With 24 dB/octave filters: 400 Hz - 5000 Hz

With 12 dB/octave filters: 500 Hz - 4000 Hz

Built in USA with Global Components

Sold individually, with a cast-alloy grille tray and a specially perforated steel grille insert.
