Celestion announced that its TFX0412 4-inch ferrite magnet coaxial driver is now available for individual purchase through retailers. Originally introduced in 2023, the TFX0412 features a fully combined LF loudspeaker and HF compression driver that are powered by a common magnet motor assembly, with the same magnet used for both elements. With a rigid pressed steel chassis, the TFX0412 is a very cost-effective and compact option for sound reinforcement applications such as ceiling speakers and cinema audio.
Developed at the Celestion headquarters in Ipswich, UK, the new TFX0412 driver emphasizes the company’s continued commitment to delivering a wide range of high-quality solutions for sound reinforcement applications that demand a full-range point source solution.
The Celestion TFX0412 features 1.25" diameter LF and 1" diameter HF copper clad aluminum voice coils powered by a common magnet motor assembly, where the same magnet is used for both the LF and HF elements. This enables the voice coils and hence the acoustic centers of the two transducers to be brought as close together as possible, delivering further improvements in signal coherence and time alignment, for a more natural sounding audio reproduction.
With the delivery of both low and high frequency signals from the same chassis, the TFX0412 offers a combined frequency response of 90Hz to 20,000Hz (a crossover is required). The single magnet assembly also offers the advantages of a lighter weight, and a more compact profile compared to more conventional dual motor coaxial designs, enabling the speaker to be used in applications where space is at a premium.
The TFX0412, features a polyimide film HF diaphragm, enabling it to provide greater high frequency power handling. Celestion's next-generation Sound Castle soft clamping assembly decreases operational stress on the diaphragm, for further reduced distortion and even greater reliability of performance.
Also included is a demodulation ring that minimizes the effects of power compression, as well as substantially reducing the harmonic and intermodulation distortion that is commonly associated with voice coil displacement.
