91 dB / Hexacone diaphragm / fs 24 Hz – usable from 20 Hz to 1.5 kHz, 150 W

The frequency response of the Symphony II 11-212 demonstrates the behavior of a top-class 11" woofer with a patented Hexacone diaphragm in a multilayer construction: a uniform, controlled amplitude response from approx. 20 Hz to 1.5 kHz – with 91 dB efficiency and a stable level structure across the entire transmission range. The Hexacone diaphragm is the decisive factor for this linear frequency response: the honeycomb structure adopted from aerospace technology in a multilayer construction remains electrically dimensionally stable even at high excursions up to Xmax ±5.0 mm – without the partial oscillations and peaks in the upper transmission range that occur with conventional diaphragms at high levels. The result is a frequency response that is just as linear at 150 W as it is at 1 W.

Particularly relevant for DIY loudspeaker developers and loudspeaker manufacturers: the usable transmission range up to approx. 1.5 kHz makes the Symphony II 11-212 a pure woofer for 3-Wege-Systeme – the crossover frequency to the midrange driver should be selected at approx. 200–500 Hz.

As a subwoofer in active systems with an electronic crossover, the Symphony II 11-212 is the choice for projects where the 12" format is too large: the resonance frequency of 24 Hz, the mechanical Xmax of ±14.6 mm, and the 150 W power handling enable high-level subwoofer reproduction down into the infrasonic range below 20 Hz – in a compact 11" format with a total diameter of 280 mm and a weight of only 3.30 kg. The equivalent volume of 134 dm³ and the Qts of 0.31 are the decisive parameters for enclosure design in bass-reflex operation.

The uniform frequency response without dips or peaks in the transmission range demonstrates the superior quality of the Hexacone diaphragm and the powerful drive system (BL = 11.6 Tm, 50-mm copper voice coil, 1.06 T). An 11" woofer with a Hexacone diaphragm and fs 24 Hz that sounds the way it measures – deep, high-level, with genuine aerospace technology inside. Made in Germany, from the ETON manufactory.

Qts 0.31 / fs 24 Hz / BL 11.6 Tm – Hexacone membrane, 150 W, compact 11" format

The impedance curve of the Symphony II 11-212 shows the behavior of a top-class 11" woofer with a patented Hexacone diaphragm in a multilayer construction: The impedance maximum is at approx. 24 Hz (TSP) – the basis for true infrasound depth down to below 20 Hz in a bass-reflex enclosure. The Qts value of 0.31 clearly positions the driver for bass-reflex designs: The equivalent volume of 134 dm³ requires generous enclosure volumes for an optimal tuning around 18–25 Hz. The force factor BL = 11.6 Tm ensures a constant, precise drive across the entire linear excursion range up to Xmax ±5.0 mm electrically – even at 150 W power handling (IEC 60268-5) and low frequencies below 25 Hz. The high mechanical Q factor (Qms = 9.94) demonstrates the extremely low mechanical losses of the drive system.

The Hexacone diaphragm in a multilayer construction is the acoustic heart of the Symphony II 11-212: The honeycomb structure adopted from aerospace technology provides exceptional bending stiffness combined with low mass (Mmd = 61 g). The impedance behavior reflects this quality: The cleanly defined impedance maximum without secondary resonances confirms the mechanical precision of the overhung drive system and the dimensional stability of the Hexacone diaphragm even at high excursions. The 50-mm copper voice coil on a Kapton former (Le = 1.15 mH, 1.06 T) ensures a stable, predictable load on all amplifiers.

Above resonance, the driver behaves electrically stable: The impedance rises moderately toward high frequencies due to the voice coil inductance – an expected value for an 11" woofer with a 50-mm voice coil that does not complicate crossover design in 3-way systems. An 11" woofer with Hexacone diaphragm and fs 24 Hz that behaves in enclosure calculations exactly as it does in simulation – reproducible, reliable, Made in Germany.
