BS 130 4 OHM

Overview

The BS 130 - 4 Ohm is a structure-borne sound converter manufactured by Visaton GmbH & Co. KG. It features a nominal impedance of 4 Ohms and handles a power rating between 50W and 100W. The unit operates with a low-frequency response starting at 25 Hz, designed for efficient vibration transmission in rigid mounting applications.

Feature Summary

• Engineered as a dedicated structure-borne sound converter for mechanical vibration transmission
• Capable of handling high power loads within the specified 50W to 100W range
• Provides deep bass reproduction extending down to 25 Hz for low-frequency applications

Applications

• Vehicle audio systems requiring direct chassis excitation
• Mobile home interior sound reinforcement
• Industrial equipment monitoring via structural vibration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific power rating requirement against the 50W-100W operational range before integration. Confirm that the mounting surface can withstand the mechanical forces generated by this structure-borne transducer. Ensure the amplifier output impedance matches the 4 Ohm specification to prevent damage or performance loss during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when traditional air-coupled speakers are unsuitable due to space constraints or environmental factors. It is appropriate for designs prioritizing tactile feedback or specific acoustic coupling through solid materials rather than free-air projection. Evaluate enclosure rigidity to maximize transfer efficiency.

Part Context

This model belongs to Visaton's specialized line of structure-borne sound converters. Unlike standard loudspeakers designed for air displacement, these units couple directly to vehicle bodies or panels. They serve niche automotive and mobile applications where space is limited or unique acoustic effects are desired.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the BSX 130 WP - 4 Ohm for weather-resistant requirements. The BS 130 4 OHM variant listed in distributor catalogs may represent the same core technology with different packaging or minor cosmetic updates.
