Dayton Audio DAEX-13-4SM Skinny Mini Exciter Audio and Haptic Feedback

The Dayton Audio DAEX-13-4SM Mini Sound Exciter is a compact and ingenious device that transforms virtually any rigid surface into a functional loudspeaker. By converting electrical signals into mechanical vibrations, this exciter allows you to turn glass, wood, plastic, or drywall into a sound source, making it an ideal solution for hidden audio installations, custom DIY projects, and immersive home theatre setups where traditional speakers would be impractical or visually intrusive.

Designed as a full-range exciter, it delivers a surprisingly broad frequency response from a remarkably small footprint. With a 4-ohm impedance and a resonance frequency of 95 Hz, it provides clear and articulate sound reproduction across the audio spectrum. The unit features a 13 mm voice coil and a DC resistance (Re) of 3.7 ohms, with a voice coil inductance (Le) of just 0.022 mH, ensuring efficient power handling and minimal distortion. Weighing only 6.7 grams and measuring a mere 8 x 35.8 x 18.5 mm, it is exceptionally lightweight and compact.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the pre-applied 3M VHB adhesive, which offers a strong and durable bond on clean, smooth surfaces. The mounting surface requires a diameter of 16.5 mm for optimal contact. Whether you are creating a hidden speaker system, adding audio to artwork, or experimenting with acoustic physics, the DAEX-13-4SM provides a versatile and high-performance solution for bringing sound to unexpected places.
