An exceptional 3-way pro-audio woofer that reproduces the clearest low-end frequencies while matching the excursion of a classic 10" woofer, delivering minimal distortion and maximum audio enjoyment.

  • 6.5" (165 mm) cast aluminum basket
  • 85 watts, 8 ohm, 85 dB SPL
  • 9.5 mm linear excursion
  • Neodymium ring magnet, two copper shorting rings
  • Abaca fiber cone, dampened rubber surround
  • 1.5" copper voice coil, Kapton former

MISCO has taken the XBL² technology and executed with effectiveness and elegance in the 82141, 6.5” woofer. By using a high energy neodymium ring magnet, a high BL is maintained while the magnet structure size and weight is minimized.  Yet the Klippel verified, linear X max (measured inductance, suspension, and BL) is a minimum of 9.5 mm!  The light weight, copper-clad aluminum voice coil travels in a double magnetic gap. It is centered within inner and outer inductance modulating elements to reduce inductance. This is an ultra-low distortion woofer and allows for a wide range of cross-over points.

Bold North Audio products are the most accurate, engineered audio transducers available. Each design requires Klippel vibrational test analyses to verify the key parts of optimal audio performance. While we rely heavily on objective science to lead us, we understand that most of all speakers need to tell the musical truth. Our engineers, musicians, and recording studio veterans are the final judges of when a design is worthy of the Bold North Audio brand.

All Bold North Audio products are assembled in Minnesota, with parts sourced from around the world to produce the highest combination of performance, consistency, and customer value.
