DESCRIPTION

The Electro-Voice TL606DW is an optimally

vented, direct-radiator speaker system for high-

output reproduction of low frequencies to 40

Hz. The TL606DW’s design is based on the

vented-enclosure modeling technique of A.N.

Thiele and R.H. Small, which makes possible a

combination of high efficiency, low distortion,

and extended low-frequency performance in

an enclosure of moderate size.

The TL606DW employs dual DL15W very-low-

frequency reproducers in a 9-cubic-foot (255

liter) enclosure. The DL15W’s high linear cone-

excursion ability (X

max

= 0.22 inches, zero to

peak) and 400-watt long-term average power

capacity contribute substantially to the

TL606DW’s high acoustic output ability (see

Power Handling Capacity section).

APPLICATIONS

The TL606DW is ideally configured for a wide

variety of high-output, low-frequency reinforce-
