AudioControl PNW-69CS2 - PNW 6 x 9″ High-Fidelity Component Speakers

AudioControl PNW-69CS2 - PNW 6 x 9″ High-Fidelity Component Speakers | Ultimate Component Performance

Professional 6×9-inch high-fidelity component speaker system with separate tweeter, 2nd order Linkwitz-Riley crossover, and maximum cone area delivering ultimate performance in component speaker applications

Product Overview

The AudioControl PNW-69CS2 delivers ultimate component performance through expertly engineered 6×9-inch component speaker system designed specifically for maximum audio reproduction with separate tweeter installation and professional crossover network. This flagship component system features separate woofer and tweeter configuration with 2nd order Linkwitz-Riley crossover at 3.5kHz, rigid poly mica-coated cone optimized for maximum oval geometry, and rear dampened hybrid silk dome tweeter with dedicated mounting for extended frequency response (50-20kHz), providing exceptional output levels with 35mm woofer voice coil and 20mm tweeter voice coil with 100W RMS power handling capability, featuring edge-enhanced steel frame construction and complex FEA-designed high-efficiency motor that ensures detailed, clear audio reproduction when paired with AudioControl's legendary amplifiers.

What Makes This Component System Special

• True Component Design Architecture – Separate woofer and tweeter configuration with dedicated 2nd order Linkwitz-Riley crossover network provides superior frequency separation and phase alignment compared to coaxial designs, enabling optimal placement and imaging characteristics
• Maximum Cone Area Performance – 6×9-inch oval woofer provides the largest cone area in the PNW series for maximum bass response and output capability, while dedicated tweeter can be positioned independently for optimal high-frequency dispersion and staging
• Professional Crossover Network – 2nd order Linkwitz-Riley crossover at 3.5kHz with -12dB/octave slope provides precise frequency division and phase alignment between drivers, ensuring smooth transition and eliminating interference between woofer and tweeter
• Ultimate Power Handling Capability – Handles 75-125 watts with 100W RMS ideal power rating (highest in the PNW series), with 35mm woofer voice coil and 20mm tweeter voice coil providing maximum dynamic range and output capability for demanding applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What advantages does a component system provide over coaxial speakers?

Component systems allow separate woofer and tweeter placement for optimal imaging, dedicated crossover networks for precise frequency division, and superior performance through specialized driver designs optimized for their specific frequency ranges.

How does this compare to other speakers in the PNW series?

The PNW-69CS2 offers the deepest bass extension (50Hz), highest power handling (100W RMS), largest cone area, and only true component design in the series, making it the ultimate performance option.

Where should I mount the separate tweeter?

The tweeter should be mounted for optimal high-frequency dispersion, typically in A-pillars, dash locations, or door panels aimed at the listening position for best imaging and soundstage.

What type of amplifier is required for this component system?

A 2-channel amplifier capable of 75-125 watts per channel is ideal. The included crossover network manages frequency division, so a full-range amplifier output can be used.

What mounting depth is required for the woofer?

The woofer requires 2.95"/75mm mounting depth, which is the deepest in the PNW series due to the larger motor assembly and enhanced power handling capability.

Can I use the included crossover with any amplifier?

Yes, the 2nd order Linkwitz-Riley crossover is designed to work with any full-range amplifier output, providing proper frequency division and phase alignment for the component drivers.

How It Works

Professional Component Integration System – Install the 6×9-inch woofer in appropriate locations using included mounting hardware (verify 2.95" mounting depth clearance). Mount the tweeter in optimal high-frequency locations with 0.63" depth clearance. Connect the crossover network between amplifier and drivers. The 2nd order Linkwitz-Riley crossover at 3.5kHz provides precise frequency division while the separate drivers deliver ultimate performance from 50Hz to 20kHz with maximum dynamic capability.
