Accuton logo

The Accuton C173-6-096E Bass / Midrange is an esoteric 7 inch unit primarily intended for high end 3 way designs. Developed from the C173-6-096 , this drive unit features precision cut apertures in the diaphragm which critically damp the 5kHz cone resonance resulting in greater and smoother midrange extension.

This state of the art driver features a ceramic cone with soft rubber surround and an impressive motor system comprising a large Neodymium magnet and 55mm titanium voice coil former. Sensitivity is good at 92.5 dB.

The spider, pole and voice coil former are fully ventilated for minimal compression. This 6 ohm unit has a power rating of 120 watts .
