Advanced 3-layer Hexacone sandwich membrane for outstanding sound performance

The 3-layer Hexacone sandwich membrane of the Eton midrange driver optimizes sound fidelity and stability. This technology combines lightness with stiffness, resulting in a balanced sound image while reducing distortion. Such membranes are known to maintain a neutral sound characteristic even at high volumes. Compared to conventional membrane materials, the Hexacone technology excels with exceptionally clear and dynamic sound reproduction. An increase in layers can enhance material stiffness, which is important for minimizing resonances.

Open phase plug design for precise sound images

The open phase plug design of the Eton 4 midrange driver is a technological highlight. This structure ensures more effective cooling of the voice coil, which increases performance under continuous load. Additionally, by minimizing air compressions in the phase plug design, a more homogeneous sound distribution is achieved. This results in a more precise sound image, which is particularly advantageous in acoustically demanding environments. A closed phase plug would have disadvantages in direct comparison regarding heat dissipation and could impair the frequency response.

Optimal load capacity and frequency range: 50 watts and 100-5400 Hz

The Eton 4-212/C8/25 HEX midrange driver offers excellent performance with its power handling of 50 watts. Within its frequency range of 100 to 5400 Hz, it demonstrates impressive behavior in the midrange domain. The typical power handling for car speakers is often below 50 watts, which is why this model has an above-average performance rating. This extended frequency range ensures particularly comprehensive sound reproduction and does not miss any frequency details that many competitors cannot cover.

Innovative overhung drive system and ferrite magnet for high efficiency

The Eton midrange driver uses an overhung drive system that ensures linear displacement of the diaphragm, thus achieving improved sound precision. The ferrite magnet used increases sensitivity and contributes to excellent efficiency. A higher magnetic flux can further enhance sensitivity, which, however, does not necessarily lead to better sound quality but rather improves energy efficiency. In conjunction with the copper/kapton voice coil, reliable performance is guaranteed, which does not diminish even under increasing thermal stress.

Mechanical construction and weight of the midrange speaker

With a cone thickness of 6 mm and a total weight of 1.2 kg, the Eton midrange speaker is robustly built yet light enough for easy installations in a variety of vehicle models. The overall diameter is 122 mm, with a mounting diameter of 96 mm and a total depth of 66 mm, supporting versatile installation options. Comparable models vary greatly in terms of material thicknesses and weights, but the Eton midrange speaker demonstrates that high-quality materials do not necessarily lead to a high overall weight, making installation easier.

Copper and Kapton coil for excellent durability

The diameter of the copper coil is 25 mm and is wound on a Kapton carrier. This combination offers high thermal resistance and excellent electrical conductivity. The choice of copper as the wire material maximizes electrical efficiency and minimizes power loss, while Kapton provides additional thermal stability, ensuring that distortions remain minimal even under high load. A narrower or wider coil, as often seen in competing models, would make the behavior at high volumes appear less linear, thus affecting overall performance.

Terminal and connection details for versatile integration options

The midrange driver features terminal sizes of 2.8 mm and 4.8 mm, ensuring compatibility with a variety of connection configurations. The precise sizing of the connection points allows for flexible integration of the midrange driver into existing systems, thereby reducing complexity during installation. By integrating this speaker into your setup, you can create a harmonious sound representation that fits organically into your system. Other systems with inaccurate terminals often struggle to achieve such a seamless installation.

Mechanical quality and optimized resonance frequency

The mechanical quality Qms of 5.09 of the Eton midrange driver indicates its effective ability to process acoustic energy mechanically. A higher value in this category suggests a robust suspension that maintains the flexibility of the diaphragm, thereby avoiding unwanted resonances. The resonance frequency at 1W of 57 Hz suggests that this midrange driver also provides stable performance at low frequencies. A lower resonance frequency improves bass reproduction, while higher resonance frequencies in other models could limit sound depth.

Thiele-Small parameters and their significance for sound quality

The total Thiele-Small parameters such as the DC resistance Re of 5.9 Ω and the electrical quality factor Qes of 0.43 indicate the carefully tuned components of the speaker. The force factor BL of 5.8 Tm shows that the interaction between the voice coil and the magnetic field is optimally designed to ensure high efficiency. The higher the BL value, the more control the drive system has over the diaphragm movement, which is not present in this quality in competing models with sometimes lower values.
