Dayton Audio CE28MB-8 Full-range Woofer

The Dayton Audio CE28MB-8 is a compact full-range woofer designed to deliver clear, balanced sound across the frequency spectrum, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained audio projects. This broadband driver excels in applications such as small bookshelf speakers, multimedia systems, or custom installations where a single driver must handle both midrange and bass frequencies without the need for a separate tweeter. Its versatility also suits DIY enthusiasts seeking to build minimalist, high-quality enclosures.

Engineered with a polypropylene cone, the CE28MB-8 offers excellent damping and consistent performance, reducing distortion for a natural sound signature. The neodymium magnet provides efficient motor force despite the driver’s compact size, while the steel basket ensures robust structural integrity. Key technical specifications include a total Q factor (Qts) of 1.63, indicating a well-damped response suitable for sealed or ported designs. With a nominal diameter of 25.4 cm and a depth of just 4.5 cm, this woofer fits easily into slim profiles. The 8-ohm impedance and sensitivity of 81 dB at 2.83V/1m allow for straightforward integration with standard amplifiers.

To conclude, the CE28MB-8 combines Dayton Audio’s engineering expertise with practical design, offering a reliable solution for achieving full-range audio in compact formats. Whether for a bespoke speaker build or a commercial upgrade, this broadband woofer delivers performance and value.
