HiVi M3N-B Bass-midwoofer

The HiVi M3N-B is a precision-engineered 3-inch bass-midwoofer that brings exceptional clarity and control to compact loudspeaker designs. Its damped aluminium/magnesium cone combines low moving mass with exceptional stiffness, delivering fast, articulate transients and accurate midbass reproduction that belies its modest dimensions.

This driver excels in small-scale applications where space is at a premium yet performance cannot be compromised. It is ideally suited for use in nearfield monitors, desktop speakers, or as a dedicated midbass unit in multi-way systems. The fully shielded design also makes it safe for placement near CRT screens or magnetic media, broadening its utility in home studio and AV setups.

Technically, the M3N-B features a Kapton frame and a 20mm voice coil, ensuring reliable operation and thermal stability. With an impedance of 8 ohms, a DC resistance of 6.5 ohms, and a total Q factor (Qts) of 0.8, it offers a balanced response suited to sealed or small vented enclosures. The 3mm linear excursion (Xmax) and 91Hz resonance frequency (Fs) support clean output down to the lower midrange, while the 82dB sensitivity (2.83V/1m) reflects its focus on precision over outright efficiency.

For designers seeking a compact, high-fidelity bass-midwoofer with excellent transient response and shielding, the HiVi M3N-B is a compelling choice that delivers refined performance in tight spaces.
