Scan Speak 18W/8531G01 Revelator Tief-/Mitteltöner

The Revelator midrange and midwoofers, both well known for their sliced paper cone technology. The slices are filled with damping glue, which dramatically reduces breakup modes in the diaphragm. In combination with Scan-Speaks Low-loss linear suspension and the patented Symmetrical drive (SD-2) it represented a breakthrough in midrange clarity and overall smooth frequency response characteristics.
