BMR56XE
Balanced mode radiator drive unit, 3 inch
Description
The BMR56XE is a 3 inch full-range balanced mode radiator. Rather than moving as a piston, the diaphragm is tuned to bend in controlled modes, which holds dispersion wide and even to the top of the band and keeps phase coherent off axis.
Supplied as a bare drive unit for designers building their own enclosure.
Construction
- High-temperature magnet assembly with full magnetic shielding
- Neodymium motor, available in varying grades
- Square frame — small footprint for the radiating area

Acoustic character
