BOHLENDER GRAEBENER NEO8 PLANAR TRANSDUCER

The Neo8 features a push-pull magnet system that has been designed with the help of Finite Element Analysis software to achieve optimum efficiency/cost performance. It uses the newest grades of neodymium- the "super" magnet material with the highest magnetic energy. The extremely light Kaladex(R) diaphragm with an etched planar aluminum conductor is suspended in a magnetic field and is uniformly driven by the electromagnetic force providing accurate and immediate reproduction of the input signal. There are no heavy voice coils, spiders, glue joints, paper cones and surrounds. Hence there is no cone break-up resonance, distortion, phase incoherence or signal smearing that is common in conventional drivers. With the Neo8 there is virtually nothing between the electrical signal and the sound- just an almost weightless diaphragm. No other commercially available loudspeaker transducer is so pure and so "minimalistic." No wonder the Neo8 delivers clean, airy, transparent sound that is inherently natural and musically pleasing. The purely resistive impedance of the Neo8 makes an easy load for a power amplifier and greatly facilitates crossover design. The magnet system is completely shielded for safe implementation in multimedia and A/V systems. The Neo8 is a very versatile driver and its applications are limited only by the designer's imagination. Specifications: *Power Handling: 50 watts RMS/150 watts max *Nominal Impedance: 4 ohms *Re: 3.84 ohms *Frequency range: 500-20,000 Hz *SPL: 93 dB 1W/1m *Net weight: 1 lb. *Dimensions: 7-7/8" L x 3-1/2" W x 1/2" D



They look like heater ducts too so the average joe pawnshop won't try to steal them

I was going to have a row of 4 tweeters and 2 4" mids on some kicks, but this will be way easier And be different all at the same time. Powered by my Phoenix Gold amp thse should have some nice sound coming off them.

Thoughts or opinion?

I will be getting a pair of either 7" or 8" woofers in the near future since these are not for anything under 600 Hz.

Thanks to Dave for helping me shop

What a horrible choice! oh wait, I helped you? great choice then!

save your money for a good mid...can you spend 120.00 each? j/k

dnewma04,

Have you ever heard the Neo's.

Many have asked me about them but I have never heard them. Their spec's make them look like a point source solution. Size suggest you can mount them anywhere.

Shaq had a van with them when he was playing for the Orlando Magic and those I know who heard it had mixed reviews.

I haven't heard them, only reviews that have been generally positive. For the money and application, they were a pretty good choice.

Thay will sound like the voice of God, only the SQ will be better

NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU AND YOUR STUPID HEATER VENTS!!!

I think you should sell those ugly things and get a set of infinitys!

I think you should go straight to hell Newman!

Great choice, uniform power across their entire freq range.

you lucky mo-fo! What did those set you back?
