SPECIFICATION NOTES

Note 1 : Allowing for energy response, excursion capability, Power spectrum, and -3dB low freq. roll-off for standard reflex tuning.

Note 2 : Established at 20°C ambient temp, according to AES2-1984 standard using IEC268-1 simulated programme signal and a 75 liter Bass-Reflex test enclosure tuned at 45Hz.

Note 3 : Established at 1m on axis of the loudspeaker mounted

in test enclosure, when driven at full AES Power Handling Capacity, including 4dB of thermal compression loss.

Note 4 : Measured at 20 mA in free air.

Note 5 : Measured at 20 mA and 20°C ambient temp. in free air conditions, after full run and rest.

Note 6 : Measured at 20°C ambient temp.

QC limits are ±10%

Note 7 : Stated in RMS voltage according to IEC 268-5.

Note 8 : Includes shipping conditions. The lower limit prevents from demagnetization.

Note 9: Our products are classified in three categories : Indoor, Outdoor, and Outdoorfor permanent outdoor use or severe conditions.

Note 10 : Calculated for front mounting on to a 18 mm thick board.

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.
