Dayton Audio DMA80-8 3" Dual Magnet Aluminum Cone Full-Range Driver

The Dayton Audio DMA80-8 is a compact 3-inch full-range driver that delivers remarkably clear and detailed audio, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained designs where sound quality cannot be compromised. Its dual magnet structure and aluminium cone work together to provide precise, articulate response across the frequency spectrum, ensuring that vocals and instruments are reproduced with exceptional accuracy. This driver excels in a variety of applications, including desktop speakers, portable Bluetooth systems, soundbars, and small-scale home theatre setups, where its full-range capability eliminates the need for a separate tweeter in many designs. Technically, the DMA80-8 features a total Q factor of 0.47, offering versatile performance suitable for both sealed and ported enclosures. With an impedance of 7.5 ohms and a sensitivity of 85.3 dB, it pairs well with modest amplification. The copper voice coil and aluminium cone contribute to low distortion and efficient heat dissipation, while the 2.5 mm linear excursion allows for respectable bass output given its size. The driver measures 80.3 mm square with a mounting depth of just 38.9 mm, and the 74.4 mm cutout diameter simplifies installation. Whether you are building a high-fidelity mini system or upgrading an existing compact speaker, the DMA80-8 offers a compelling blend of performance and practicality.
