Dayton Audio CE53N-4 Full-range woofer

The Dayton Audio CE53N-4 is a full-range woofer that delivers remarkably clear and balanced sound across the frequency spectrum, making it an exceptional choice for compact audio designs. As a broadband subwoofer, it excels in applications where space is at a premium yet performance cannot be compromised. This driver is ideally suited for DIY audio enthusiasts seeking to build small bookshelf speakers, desktop monitors, or portable sound systems that require a single driver capable of handling both bass and midrange frequencies with finesse.

Technically, the CE53N-4 features a 4-ohm impedance and a maximum power handling of 20 watts, allowing it to work efficiently with modest amplifiers. Its total Q factor (Qts) of 1.0 indicates a design optimised for sealed enclosures, where it can produce deep, controlled bass despite its compact 50.8mm nominal diameter. The 19mm voice coil and 2mm Xmax ensure linear excursion, while the low voice coil inductance (Le) of 0.13 mH contributes to extended high-frequency response. With a sensitivity of 84 dB SPL at 1m/2.83V and a resonance frequency of 132 Hz, this driver offers a balanced performance that suits a variety of listening environments. Whether you are upgrading an existing system or starting a new project, the CE53N-4 provides reliable, full-range audio in a small, versatile package.
