CLEARANCE Dayton Audio CX150-8 5-1/4" Coaxial Driver with 1" Silk Dome Tweeter 8 Ohm

Dayton Audio
Part #295-386  
Model: CX150-8
With a natural sounding 1" soft dome tweeter concentrically mounted in a long throw poly cone 5-1/4" woofer Dayton Audio's CX150-8 will produce extremely smooth response on and off-axis while avoiding the phase and lobing issues associated with standard 2-way designs. This driver is perfect for compact designs, portable speakers, or even custom car audio systems.
Key Features
  • Full-range with accurate bass and extended high frequency response
  • Coaxial mounted 1" silk dome tweeter
  • Open cast frame for improved air flow and reduced power compression
  • 5" curvilinear poly cone woofer with rubber half roll surround
  • Respectable low frequency output for a 5" driver

Overview

Dayton Audio CX150-8 5-1/4" Coaxial Driver with 1" Silk Dome Tweeter 8 Ohm

The Dayton Audio CX150-8 is a full-range coaxial loudspeaker providing high quality sound in a very compact form featuring a 5" curved linear poly cone woofer mated with a 1” silk dome tweeter. The poly cone woofer provides a good balance between stiffness, low mass and damping making for a very natural sounding driver with a smooth frequency response. The silk dome tweeter provides detailed and clear high frequencies with minimal distortion. In addition, the optimized tweeter placement and flaring reduces the phase issues with the woofer that is commonplace with even the BIG brand coaxes. Designed for use as a full-range in a small bookshelf speaker, an extended range (i.e. midrange/tweeter) driver in a 3-way system, or even car audio systems.

5" Woofer:

• Large 1.5" voice coil wound on an Kapton® former for greater linearity and high power handling
• High excursion capability (5.0 mm Xmax) for ample low frequency reproduction
• Curved linear shaped poly cone provides a good balance between stiffness, low mass and damping making for a natural sounding driver with a smooth frequency response
• Optimized rubber surround for reduced break up in the midrange band
• Attractive rigid open cast frame cast frame to minimize reflections, resonances and improve air flow
• High energy ceramic magnet for greater cone control and improved efficiency
