Eminence introduces a new member to its American Standard series of professional audio loudspeakers, the Alpha 3. The Eminence Alpha 3-8 is a versatile, compact full-range driver suited for tight fitting pro audio line array and column array applications.
More details from Eminence (www.eminence.com):
With a program power rating of 60 watts, this 3-inch
driver uses a 8.3 oz ferrite magnet in conjunction with an internal
neodymium bucking magnet for increased sensitivity and extends the
response out to 20kHz. The highly pressed cone sandwiches paper with
a layer of water-resistant polypropylene for increased stiffness and lower distortion.
“Put eight of these in a column and pair it with a subwoofer for a large sounding system with a very small footprint.” says Jerry McNutt, Eminence product design manager. “With the internal neo magnet acting as a shorting ring, the Alpha 3’s response is extended to the point you don’t need a tweeter.”
The Alpha 3 offers 88.6 dB of sensitivity and has a usable frequency range of 150 Hz – 20 kHz.
