Frequency Response

The Dayton Audio PCX12-8 has a response that matches a large number of horn drivers due to its high efficiency in the frequency range of human voices and midrange detail of stringed instruments. The impedance curve of the PCX12-8 makes it easy to pair up with your favorite compression driver without taxing your power amplifiers!

Impedance Curve

The Dayton Audio PCX12-8 employs an 80-degree conical dispersion horn from behind the screened dustcap. Dayton Audio takes advantage of a coaxial design to bring you better response through the combined range of the woofer and compression driver by aligning the outputs of both drivers so they reach your ears at the same time. This minimizes peaks and nulls in the frequency response created by misaligned sources, and the 80-degree dispersion of the conical horn ensures you preserve high-frequency performance off-axis both vertically and horizontally.

When using a coaxial driver in a design, the outputs of each driver appear as a single point in space. This lends itself well to many uses in the home audio and car audio spaces with the ability to use compact and low-profile enclosures when space is at a premium. A QTS value of 0.53 is in the perfect sweet spot to work well in both vented and sealed cabinets. When combined with the nearly endless selection of horn drivers available right now, the PCX12-8 enables you to truly personalize your sound!
