CHN-50 3" Magnesium Cone Full Range
The CHN-50 is an affordable new compact 3" drive unit suitable for use in small nearfield loudspeakers, as a quality mid-tweeter for low-crossover multiway designs, and for array applications. We have built a gentle rise into the low and high frequency response, as seen in some of our more expensive drive units, to enhance positioning flexibility. The sound presentation is forgiving, without glare, and the Thiele / Small parameters, with a generous 3.5mm (1-way) Xmax are balanced for ease of use.
The low-mass voice coil, suspension and shallow profile magnesium alloy cone are unique designs for the CHN-50. The pressed steel frame is designed to be very open and allow airflow to be as free as possible to the rear of the cone. Response extends from resonance to beyond 20KHz, and the impedance rise at higher frequencies is only
modest, due to the careful motor design.

Small to medium sized speakers are usually lower power designs. The power rating is given in the technical data for each audio driver. For a reliable long service life, please operate your new speakers with care. For the first 100 hours, operate them at very low volumes. After this period, gradually increase the volume to a normal listening level. If you see the cone of the speakers making large movements, immediately turn the volume down. This will protect the speaker and your human hearing from damage. Factory mechanical defects for a period of 1 year. Excessive hard use (over-driving) and other damage caused during customer use is excluded from our warranty.
