Design Ideologies
Norwegian born company Seas has been designing, perfecting and manufacturing high-end sound quality speakers and subwoofers for over half a century now. Not only for the car audio and home audio OEM industry, but also for regular punters right through to full blown audiophiles and those involved within the rigorous aftermarket competition scene.
Amassed Excellence
During it’s tenure at the top this tenacious designer has amassed more knowledge and experience than most other speaker companies combined. It’s Lotus and Extreme stable of speakers and subwoofers are designed specifically for the car audio environment and though the original versions were launched years ago; these designs are continuously being perfected as technologies, methodologies and materials continue to evolve.
Performance Intrinsic To Experience
Taking advantage of it’s vast skills, experience and technical acumen gained from it’s loyal audiophile fans worldwide; Seas continues to push the boundaries of high-end speaker design. For the most sophisticated demands, Seas utilises some of the most advanced building techniques in the world. When you couple this with some of the worlds best materials available, the end result is always nothing short of breathtaking.
Subwoofers For Modern Demands
The L22ROY2 is a high-fidelity woofer intended for multi-way systems, closed box and transmission line designs. With an extremely stiff aluminium cone, it provides a tremendous bass precision.
The Power Within
A 2″ / 50.8 mm diameter high power titanium voice coil former with a long copper winding for excellent force transfer and transient sound reproduction. A large rubber surround together with a textile spider allow for the outstanding linear excursion of the coil while keeping it well centered at high power. These characteristics result in a very low mechanical damping for better clarity bringing up the micro details in music.
FEA Optimised Motor
These subwoofers feature a large FEA optimised magnet system with a very big center hole through the pole piece and precisely fitted copper parts for excellent linearity, high power handling and low distortion. Below the T-shaped pole piece there is a heavy copper ring and on top, a thick aluminium ring; they both help to reduce nonlinear and modulation distortion. The stiff and stable injection moulded metal basket keeps the critical components in perfect alignment. Large windows in the basket both above and below the spider reduce sound reflection, air flow noise and cavity resonance.
Part Numbers Aplenty
