5100 8

B38

PROFESSIONAL SERIES

15” Bass Midrange Driver

High Sound Pressure Level

High Efficiency Contact Class

APPLICATIONS

Built according to the same concepts as SP5050, this model which belongs to our sound reinforcement Contact Class is equipped with a classical two layer coil, which allows it to be used in larger Reflex enclosures (80L to 110L tuned at 40Hz) with the same sound qualities as the SP5050.

SP5100 can also be X-overed up to 800Hz, and exhibits a good quality to price ratio.

DESIGN CONCEPT

DEFLECTION CONTROLLED DIAPHRAGM optimized for dynamic damping. DEFLECTION CONTROLLED DIAPHRAGM technology consists in optimizing the shape and material of the diaphragm so that it works as a mechanical transmission line, to avoid breaking modes as well as mechanical threshold which destroy sound quality.

This leading edge technology offers substantial sonic advantages. Among them: sound coherency, fast transients, stable sound imaging, high sensitivity, wide frequency range and reduced directivity pattern.

VENTED COMPACT MAGNET SYSTEM. It has been carefully optimized to obtain maximum transducing efficiency while avoiding unlinear behavior such as coil inductance variation with position, flux modulation, harmonic distortion, rest position offset, air compression and off-axis voice-coil pushing.

Its design incorporates a T-shaped and vented pole piece, and a flux stabilization ring. It also takes into consideration demagnetization at cold temperatures.

INTERCOOLER SYSTEM (patented). Entirely integrated into the loudspeaker itself, the INTERCOOLER SYSTEM extracts the heat produced by Joule effect in the voice-coil by the means of an air flow directed through the heatsink rims of the basket by the motion of the dust-cap and the spider.

The gain brought about by this technology is over 20 % of extra power, so for example, a 3”coil according to this design has the same power handling capacity as a classical 4”one.

5100 specifications

The PHL Audio 5100 is a high-performance loudspeaker designed for audiophiles and professional sound engineers seeking exceptional sound quality and clarity. Known for its innovative technologies and impeccable craftsmanship, the 5100 stands out as a reliable choice for various applications, including studio monitoring, live sound reinforcement, and more.

One of the main features of the PHL Audio 5100 is its unique driver technology. The loudspeaker incorporates a proprietary cone material engineered for optimal stiffness and lightweight properties, allowing it to reproduce sound with remarkable accuracy across a wide frequency range. This design minimizes distortion and enhances transient response, ensuring that even the most demanding audio tracks can be rendered faithfully.

The 5100 is equipped with a powerful neodymium magnet system that provides a high level of efficiency and control over the driver’s movement. This not only increases the overall output level but also improves the dynamic range of the sound it produces. With a sensitivity rating that rivals many high-end loudspeakers, the PHL Audio 5100 can deliver potent sound performance in both small and large environments.

Another notable characteristic of the PHL Audio 5100 is its phase coherence and time alignment features. These elements ensure that sound waves arrive at the listener's ear in precise synchrony, which is crucial for achieving a natural and enveloping listening experience. By focusing on the timbral accuracy and spatial representation, the 5100 allows listeners to engage deeply with their music, experiencing it just as the artists intended.

The build quality of the PHL Audio 5100 is equally impressive. The cabinet is constructed from high-density materials to minimize resonance and unnecessary vibrations, further enhancing the clarity of sound production. Additionally, the loudspeaker’s aesthetic design is both elegant and functional, making it an attractive addition to any studio or performance space.

In summary, the PHL Audio 5100 combines advanced driver technology, exceptional efficiency, and meticulous attention to detail in its construction. Its ability to deliver accurate, coherent, and dynamic sound makes it an outstanding option for professionals and enthusiasts alike, solidifying its status in the realm of high-fidelity audio equipment.
