Loudspeaker Drivers

Lavoce Italiana, the transducer company with over 35 years of heritage in designing and manufacturing high-performance HF and LF loudspeaker transducers, has announced the WAF082.01, a high-output 8-inch woofer that joins its low-frequency portfolio for professional multi-way loudspeaker systems.

Lavoce WAF082.01The WAF082.01 is a ferrite magnet 8-inch woofer developed using Lavoce’s advanced low-frequency design methodologies. Its motor and suspension system have been FEM optimised to deliver a smooth frequency response, controlled excursion, and low distortion, while maintaining high efficiency and robust power handling for demanding professional applications.

Equipped with a 2-inch copper voice coil, the WAF082.01 delivers 500W programme power handling, with 97dB sensitivity, suiting it to use in compact, high-energy loudspeaker systems where output, reliability, and cost-effectiveness must be balanced. An optimised cooling system ensures stable thermal behaviour under sustained high-power operation, while an integrated copper ring extends the usable frequency range and contributes to reduced distortion and improved clarity in the upper LF band.

With its combination of high output capability, motor design and rugged mechanical construction, the WAF082.01 is designed to meet the needs of OEM manufacturers and sound system designers seeking a reliable, high-performance woofer for premium professional audio projects.

‘The WAF082.01 reinforces our commitment to delivering well-engineered, high-output LF solutions that address real-world system requirements,’ says International Sales Director, Kevin Shove. ‘It provides our OEM and professional audio partners with a compact yet powerful 8-inch woofer that combines performance, robustness and value for demanding applications.’
