Buy cheaply: ETON 8-412/C8/32 HEX for versatile deep bass applications

The ETON 8-412/C8/32 HEX is an 8 (20cm) mid-bass speaker that guarantees fast and powerful reproduction thanks to its 3-layer Hexacone sandwich membrane. With a power handling of 80 W, this speaker is perfect for various deep bass scenarios. Its weight of 2.13 kg and overall depth of 108.3 mm make it compact yet powerful. The Masori lowest price guarantee ensures you the best price for your purchase plan, should buying the ETON 8-412/C8/32 HEX online be your goal. The recommended frequency range of 40 to 2000 Hz emphasizes the versatility of this speaker. With an average sound pressure level of 89 dB, you can expect impressive sound quality.

Powerful reproduction thanks to 3-layer Hexacone sandwich membrane

The 3-layer Hexacone sandwich membrane is a highlight of the ETON 8-412/C8/32 HEX, enabling fast and powerful bass reproduction. This design ensures remarkable stiffness while maintaining low weight, which guarantees undistorted and dynamic sounds. This type of membrane offers advantages over conventional membranes in impulse reproduction and increases precision in fast bass runs. A comparison shows that this technology is often found only in high-quality high-end speaker models. The membrane construction directly influences the efficiency in bass reproduction and is particularly a measure in the car audio world to ensure accurate and powerful bass.

Perfect impedance: Direct current resistance of 7 Ω

The DC resistance of 7 Ω in the ETON 8-412/C8/32 HEX indicates a balanced electrical behavior, which positively affects the load capacity and efficiency of the speaker. This impedance is a common choice in the car audio world, as it allows for flexible interaction with amplifiers without generating high current loads. A higher impedance would reduce efficiency, while a lower impedance could pose a greater load on the amplifier. The ratio of resistance to amplifier matching ensures that the ETON 8-412/C8/32 HEX operates optimally in various configurations, thus enabling versatile integration.

Efficient performance: Average sound pressure level of 89 dB

The 89 dB of the average reference sound pressure level provide impressive playback performance despite the compact design. Compared to many car audio speakers on the market, this value sets a high standard in terms of efficiency. The reference sound pressure level indicates how loud a speaker gets per watt of electrical power. In practical scenarios, this means that you need less amplifier power to achieve a high volume level. This can be crucial for the efficiency of energy consumption in vehicles. A higher value would mean an even better efficiency, while a lower value could lead to an increased energy demand to achieve the same volume levels.

Specific coil materials for optimal performance

The voice coil of the ETON 8-412/C8/32 HEX consists of Kapton as the carrier material and CCAW (Copper-Clad Aluminum Wire), which means high thermal load capacity and minimal power loss. This combination is common in high-end speakers and ensures efficient heat dissipation as well as reduced voice coil mass, leading to improved dynamics in sound reproduction. Kapton as the base material increases temperature resistance, while CCAW optimizes performance at both quieter and louder levels by minimizing inductance. An alternative use of plain copper wires could reduce heat capacity and delay the speaker's response.

Resonance frequency for precise deep bass: 25 Hz

A resonance frequency of 25 Hz at 1 watt is an impressive feature of the ETON 8-412/C8/32 HEX and attests to its capabilities in the deep bass range. This low frequency indicates that the speaker is optimized for very low sound reproduction, which ensures powerful and deep-reaching bass in many installations. The lower the resonance frequency of a speaker, the deeper it can theoretically play before the frequency response drops off. A higher resonance frequency value would limit the potential for the lowest bass in the vehicle. Thus, this value guarantees impressive bass performance for all deep bass applications in the car.

Robust construction with specific installation dimensions

The ETON 8-412/C8/32 HEX is well-suited for integration into various vehicle constructions, featuring a mounting diameter of 190 mm and an overall depth of 108.3 mm. These dimensions facilitate direct installation even in hard-to-reach areas. With proper installation, this speaker can ensure high flexibility, regardless of the available volume. The weight of 2.13 kg also indicates a robust construction, which offers long durability even in vehicles with higher vibration exposure. A comparison with models available on the market shows that this size is often found in premium-level speaker systems that are optimized for size and performance.

Frequency range with versatility: 40 - 2000 Hz

The frequency range of the ETON 8-412/C8/32 HEX extends from 40 to 2000 Hz, promising a versatile application range. This allows the speaker to be used for deep bass accents as well as for mid-high frequencies in a car audio setup. This bandwidth not only speaks to its adaptability in various scenarios but also attests to its performance in reproducing complex soundscapes. A reduced frequency range would significantly limit its usability and could lead to losses in sonic complexity. In practice, this wide frequency response is crucial for dynamic and powerful sound reproduction in the vehicle.

Advanced hexacone membrane concept for impulse reproduction

The hexacone sandwich construction of the ETON 8-412/C8/32 HEX delivers excellence in impulse reproduction by combining high stability with precise frequency reproduction. This technology allows for a quick response to impulses, ensuring a clear and delay-free sound during fast musical passages. By integrating this design grade element with unusually high strength into the membrane structure, you achieve excellent controllability of bass reproduction, which is rarely achieved with conventional technologies.

Xmax values for powerful low-frequency performance: +/- 14.2 mm

With a mechanical Xmax of +/- 14.2 mm, the ETON 8-412/C8/32 HEX offers impressive low-frequency performance. A high maximum linear excursion, also known as Xmax, ensures that the speaker is capable of reproducing large amplitudes without distortion. This means you can expect higher volumes and deep frequencies with excellent sound fidelity. A lower Xmax would limit the speaker's ability to handle extreme bass, thereby reducing the scope of its suitability in high-performance bass systems.

Efficient magnetic structure without ferrofluid support

The ETON 8-412/C8/32 HEX uses an overhung drive system with ferrite material that guarantees a magnetic flux density of 1 T. This type of magnet ensures consistent force application without the additional support of ferrofluid. The absence of ferrofluid means that the drive characteristics remain constant, and the speaker does not fail under extreme temperature situations. A comparison with ferrofluid-cooled speakers shows that they often have more stable heat dissipation under exponentially higher loads, while the ETON 8-412/C8/32 HEX relies solely on structural cooling techniques.
