Key Features
- Smooth response with true full-range reproduction for simple speaker designs
- Poly damped woven glass fiber cone controls cone break-up and provides a smooth roll-off
- Copper cap keeps inductance under control and extends high frequency response
- High energy ferrite magnet increases BL for higher efficiency and more output
- Great for MTM bookshelves, car audio, or line arrays
Dayton Audio PC83-8 3" Full-Range Poly Cone Driver
The Dayton Audio PC83-8 3" full-range driver features a poly damped woven glass fiber cone, damped rubber surround, and high energy motor. The addition of a copper cap on the extended pole improves cone control, lowers inductance, and decreases distortion allowing for improved high frequency response. Offering great full-range performance, controlled off-axis response, and high efficiency, this driver will provide impressive output for its size. Perfect for use in line arrays, sound bars, portable speakers, or even car audio systems, the Dayton Audio PC83-8 will deliver high fidelity and low distortion from compact applications for an amazing value.
