Stay on Top of Loudspeaker Industry Developments with Voice Coil April 2022

Voice Coil April 2022 is now available and brings an interesting overview of the latest updates to Loudsoft's FINE Suspension Nonlinear FEA Spider and Surround Design software. Mike Klasco discusses Cables, Lead Wires, and Connector/Terminal Technology, and there's an updated directory of vendors and manufacturers in those product segments. Then, Vance Dickason characterizes the AMT 23CM1.1-C Air Motion Transformer from Mundorf, and the Beyma CD1ND 1" Polyimide Diaphragm Compression Driver and TD-194 compact horn.

Celestion introduced the new CDX1-1412 1" exit, neodymium magnet high frequency compression driver. The unit’s ultra-compact size makes it ideal for small two-way cabinet designs and other highly portable applications, at a very attractive price point. The CDX1-1412 is the latest of Celestion’s high frequency compression drivers, and features plenty of output for a driver this size: 35W (AES standard), 70W (Continuous) power rating, and 107dB sensitivity across a 1500 to 20kHz frequency band.
