Tasked with improving off-the-shelf professional coaxial solutions, Lavoce engineers have developed new point source solutions with single neodymium magnet ‘optimized flux’ motors which drive both the 3” copper voice coil for the LF and the 3” CCA edgewound voice coil for the HF. The new coaxial models include the CSF082.00K (8”), CAN123.00T (12”), CAN123.00TH (12” with horn), CAN143.00T (13.5”) and CAN143.00TH (13.5” with horn) to fully embrace the acoustic benefits and compactness of precision crafted common magnet motors, using HF componentry from Lavoce's Next Generation compression driver design concept.
As referenced, all models have been designed to offer instant point source solutions (or as OEM versions with a customized horn) and feature common magnet ‘optimized flux’ motors which bring the LF and HF voice coils in closer unification than traditional coaxial designs, better combining their acoustic centers for improved coherency, dispersion, and alignment optimization, all in a lighter weight package.
The new CSF082.00K is a professional ferrite 8” coaxial which has a 200W AES power handling, 96dB sensitivity, 2" edgewound CCA voice coil for the LF, and 1.4” CCA voice coil for the HF and its one-piece polyimide diaphragm and surround, together with double demodulating rings for low distortion. Frequency range is 75-20kHz with a 100° nominal coverage, making it a great solution for compact point source and demanding ceiling speaker applications.
The two CAN123.00T and CAN143.00T models are high specification 12” and 13.5” neodymium coaxials, both with 350W AES power handling, 3” Copper voice coils for the LF, and 3” edgewound CCA voice coil for the HF and their composite titanium/polyimide diaphragm, together with double demodulating rings for low distortion. Both models have a specified frequency range of 45-20kHz with an 80° nominal coverage, making them perfect for compact point source systems or stage wedge monitors.
Finnaly, the CAN123.00TH and CAN143.00TH models have the addition of a proprietary aluminum horn which has been meticulously shaped and formed by the Lavoce R&D team to deliver a linear bandwidth dispersion with true 60°x40° directivity, whilst not protruding above the front of the speaker. This makes these coaxials an excellent choice for more directivity specific point source or stage wedge applications.
"The addition of high-performance Common Magnet Coaxials to our new 2021 Pro Audio catalog is a significant milestone in our product development, combining the premium design qualities and experience of our successful range of LF woofers and Next Generation HF compression drivers. Our Italian R&D team in Potenza Picena are already renowned for producing innovative and outstanding products, and these Common Magnet Coaxials are just the start of more exciting things to come," notes Pierpaolo De Minicis, Pro Audio Division Manager.
Lavoce recently launched the brand new 2021 Catalog, which users can browse and download here. The new catalog features 135 references, including 24 new products, from neodymium low frequency transducers all the way to neodymium and ferrite "next generation" compression drivers from 1 to 2” exits.
Lavoce Italiana's R&D center is based in Potenza Picena, Italy, and all products are manufactured at their wholly owned state of art Lavoce factory in Jiashan, China.
