Tymphany LAT250 Subwoofer

Joining the LAT500 and LAT700 linear array transducer subwoofers is Tymphany’s latest and smallest model, the LAT250. Like all LAT designs, the LAT250 produces bass frequencies using a linear array of multiple small diaphragms rather than a single conventional cone, which allows for a much smaller and more versatile driver with SPL capability comparable to a large cone. Two motors each drive half of the diaphragms in the system in a bipolar configuration that virtually eliminates vibration. The LAT250 can be mounted in sealed, vented, bandpass or open-baffle enclosures. Dual voice coils are used with impedance configurations from 2 Ohm to 16 Ohm available. The LAT250 is currently available at Madisound for $58.

well they dont give any real info (T/S, design, mechanicals). so it makes me wonder who is going to buy it...

All of that info is available on the Tymphany webpage. Click on "subwoofers" and then the pdf file for the LAT250. All of that data is there, including a full frequency response curve.

aaahh thanks, just so used to them being displayed right there.

I guess im still a tad confused at how it works. from what i am gathering is that there is a transducer on the top and bottom connected to an internal structure that moves up and down causing the air to move out of the holes (thus sound), that internal structure would effectively be the cone. the holes on the front and back are staggered so that they are still separate and thus the front and rear of the driver, thus allowing sealed and other configurations.

Its an interesting concept and could be fun to play with, especially for that price.

Added the specs.

Just noticed it weighs less than 2 lbs.

Wait, $58?

Well... that is some BRUTAL sensitivity...
