TRIANGLE LHS 2 System

Insuffi cient cooling can affect the driver motor mechanical and electrical behavior, particularly its Qts parameter,

as shown by the red curve on graph A.

The 4-layer voice coil provides a linear displacement of ± 7mm.

The LHS

TM

2 system, the same that is used in the midrange, is also used on

the T21GM order to increase heat handling capacity. This system

consists of a heat sink ring in contact with the back of the yoke – the heat

conduction ring. This ring collects heat dissipated from the core and the

yoke and brings it to a fi nned cover.

We estimate the resulting increase in power handling capacity to exceed

200 W RMS per subwoofer.

Without an effective heat dissipation system, there is a serious risk

of thermal runaway and such an unwanted rise in temperature could

consideradly affect the driver parameters ( see Graph A below)

THE BASKET

Research and the development of T21GM basket were undertaken

to vastly improve mechanical qualities in terms of both rigidity and

damping. The basket’s unique design allows for a maximum clearance

of the radiating rear surface of the diaphragm. Its side vents improve

the damping of the voice coil. The T16GM F100 and T21GM models

are also equipped with specifi c connector blocks that were designed in

order to ensure that the cables coming from the fi lter are uniformly

clamped.

the connector blocks unique to theT16GM F100 and T21GM models

underwent a thorough re-design process in order to ensure that the cables

ciming from the fi lter are uniformly clamped and have excellent mechanical

contact.

The measurements below are for a 21-cm loudspeaker designed and

manufactured by TRIANGLE industries. The temperature of the driver

motor is measured fi rst without the LHS

TM

2 system, and a second

measurement is taken with the LHS

TM

2. We recorded a difference of 20°

on average over 120 minutes, with a pink noise registered at 100 watts and

fi ltered with high pass at 80Hz..
