Frequently Asked Questions

What frequency range does this midrange speaker cover?

The PNW-275 operates in the 200-4kHz bandpass range with a system frequency response of 100-20kHz, providing excellent coverage of critical midrange frequencies including vocals and most instrumental content.

What power amplifier do I need for optimal performance?

The speaker handles 15-50 watts with 25W RMS being the ideal power level. It pairs perfectly with AudioControl amplifiers designed for component system applications.

Can this be used as a standalone speaker?

No, this is a dedicated midrange component designed to work as part of a multi-way component system, typically paired with tweeters and woofers or subwoofers for complete frequency coverage.

What size opening do I need to install this speaker?

The cutout diameter is 2.63"/67mm with a mounting depth of 1.37"/35mm, making it suitable for locations where space is limited but dedicated midrange performance is required.

How does this integrate with other PNW series components?

The PNW-275 is designed to work seamlessly with other PNW series speakers and pairs excellently with AudioControl Spike or Space series subwoofers for complete system integration.

What makes the poly mica cone construction special?

The rigid poly mica-coated cone provides excellent damping characteristics and optimal sound reproduction in the midrange frequencies, reducing unwanted resonances while maintaining clarity and detail.

How It Works

Professional Component Integration System – Install the PNW-275 in a dedicated midrange location using the included mounting hardware. Connect to an amplifier capable of 15-50 watts with appropriate crossover settings. The Butterworth high-pass filter at 250Hz integrates with system crossovers while the 200-4kHz bandpass range provides critical midrange reproduction. The FEA-designed motor and poly mica cone deliver precise sound reproduction for vocals and instrumental detail.
