Description
The ARC Audio AS600 is a matched pair of 6.5-inch midrange and midbass speakers for active two-way and three-way front-stage systems. Its 65 Hz to 8.5 kHz published response allows it to operate as a dedicated midbass driver, the lower section of a three-way system, or the main woofer in an active two-way layout.
The rigid cast-aluminum basket supports a Y35 ferrite motor with an extended copper sleeve over the T-yoke to help control distortion and maintain linear response. A 1.5-inch CCAW voice coil is wound on a high-temperature Till former. The cone combines aramid fiber, coconut fiber, and extracted pulp, while a low-shore rubber surround and progressive Nomex spider manage the suspension.
The AS600 is rated for 100 watts RMS, 250 watts maximum, and 90 dB sensitivity. It is a raw driver intended for external DSP or crossover control and does not include passive crossovers or grilles.
