The Dayton Reference Series sets a new standard of value in high-performance loudspeaker drivers. Utilizing a low-distortion motor system with two short-circuit paths and a rigid aluminum cone, the Reference Series can outperform drivers that cost several times the price. Their low-distortion characteristics and high excursion capabilities provide exceptional clarity, detail, and dynamics.

The Dayton Reference Series subwoofers take the quality and performance of the much acclaimed RS line into the subwoofer realm. As with the rest of the Reference Series, the main focus of these subwoofers is ultra-low-distortion. Second, third, and intemodulation distortion are kept extremely low by utilizing three short-circuit paths within the motor structure. A durable aramid fiber spider and extensive venting throughout provide quiet and uniform excursion. The black anodized cone, rubber surround, and custom basket give this driver a unique, high-end look. Choose the high fidelity version for home systems when you are looking for clean, low bass and are not restricted by cabinet size.

The Dayton RS28A-4 Reference Series tweeters are designed to be an excellent match for the Dayton Reference Series woofers. The tweeter's unique black anodized 1-1/8" aluminum diaphragm and state-of-the-art motor system not only matches the look and features of the RS woofers, but also matches the clean, detailed, and uncolored sound. A cast aluminum faceplate, protective mesh grill, tuned rear chamber, and several distortion-reducing paths in the motor system are just a few of the features that allow this tweeter to outperform many expensive audiophile high-frequency transducers.

The Dayton Reference Series dome midrange delivers excellent off-axis response and midrange performance. Its black anodized 2" diaphragm is extremely linear throughout the midrange and lower treble, allowing it to provide a seamless transition to tweeters. The superior dispersion characteristics will eliminate suckouts and other problems that can occur in typical two-way designs with large woofers. High quality construction includes a cast aluminum faceplate, metal grill, vented former, and copper clad pole piece. Great for use with other members of the Reference Series, but will also work well with any high-performance driver.
