Test Bench: The Punktkilde AUGWL0016-JN02 6.5" Midbass Driver

In this Test Bench, Vance Dickason characterizes a home audio transducer from Eastech’s Punktkilde line, more precisely the AUGWL0016-JN02 6.5" midbass driver. This is a new model from the Punktkilde brand that features a unique Magnesium-Lithium (Mg-Li) alloy flat profile cone with a 2" diameter convex dust cap out of the same material. As Dickason notes, this is a very nice looking woofer worth taking a closer look. This article was originally published in Voice Coil, March 2020.
