Celestion's revolutionary Axi2050 compression driver can deliver a near full-range response of 300 to 20,000 Hz with extremely high output and incredibly low distortion. Thanks to the single heavily sculpted, nearly 7" diameter, titanium diaphragm, this wide bandwidth response is achieved without a midband crossover. The innovative Axi2050 delivers unrivaled intelligibility and perceived audio performance making it suitable for high efficiency audiophile systems or high output professional 2-way designs.
Key Features
Near full-range, high efficiency output (300-20kHz), no midband crossover required
Low mass titanium diaphragm with unique circumferentially AxiPeriodic geometry
Vibration modes decoupled from acoustic modes, removing unwanted resonance peaks
Large effective surround area extends low frequency performance
High efficiency and extremely low distortion is perfect for high output hi-fi systems
Performing the role of two speakers in one, Celestion's Axi2050 is a high power, high output compression driver delivering a frequency range of 300Hz-20,000Hz without the need for a mid-band crossover. This results in an exceptionally coherent signal through the critical listening band making it ideal for applications in which clarity and accurate response are particularly important. The large diameter titanium diaphragm uses a patented design to decouple mechanical and acoustic modes to nearly eliminate resonances creating a natural uncolored response and incredibly low distortion. The Axi2050 is designed for the absolute best possible performance, making it the ideal compression driver for everything from high output pro sound systems to the most dynamic audiophile designs.
Essentially performing the role of two speakers in one, Celestion’s Axi2050 is a high power, high-output driver delivering a frequency range of 300Hz to 20,000Hz without the need for a crossover. The result is an exceptionally coherent signal in the critical listening band, ideal for applications in which clarity and speech intelligibility are particularly important.
Existing high sensitivity, wide band drivers use a "co-entrant" design employing two separate diaphragms, requiring a crossover and the combining of acoustical signals with a waveguide. Five years in development, Axi2050 uses a single, patented, large diameter annular diaphragm to reproduce a wide frequency band with many significant advantages over conventional designs.
Central to the groundbreaking performance of the Axi2050 is a heavily sculpted, circumferentially AxiPeriodic annular titanium diaphragm. Its unique periodically symmetrical curved elements allow both the large diameter necessary to reproduce a wide frequency band and the low mass required for higher efficiency, while also reducing the number of vibration modes in the critical listening band for a very low distortion performance. The geometry allows the shape of the mechanical modes to be tailored so they do not couple with the acoustic modes, so there are no large resonance peaks. Additionally, the large area allows very high SPL to be generated, even at low frequencies.
