About PRV Audio 12MB2000FT 12" Midbass Loudspeaker 1000W RMS - 8 Ohms:

The 12MB2000FT midbass from PRV Audio's forte series offers outstanding durability with high output. This driver will deliver a strong vocal response making it great for high power three-way systems. Build for loud, clear vocal performance in tight, compact spaces, with a shallow design that gives only 4.92" of mounting depth powered by ferrite magnet featuring a sensitivity of 98 dB (2.83C/1m) with a large 4" CCAW voice coil.

The cast aluminum frame uses 5 wide spokes to firmly support this motor assembly, designed to handle the use and abuse of the pro sound environment, the frame included force cooling system openings which allows airflow to cool voice coil, allowing this driver to handle up to 1000 watts RMS without issue.

Featuring extra thick and stiff, yet light weight cone provides an excellent curve response linear through 5000 kHz to achieve the best possible linearity within the middle frequency range. Supporting the cone is an inverted double roll cloth surround, designed for high excursion applications allowing it to handle short bursts of excessive power without damage.

Highlights

• 4"CCAW voice coil wound on glass fiber former for hi-temp performance. 8 Ohms
• Shallow design, easy to fit on tight spaces
• 2,000 watts continuous program power rating makes high acoustical output
• Excellent performance on 3 way systems
• High efficiency, you do not need a lot of power to achieve extreme SPL levels
