B&C Speakers - 8CXN51 4+8 Ohm

In certain situations, we need simple, effective solutions that don't take up too much space. The B&C Speakers 8CXN51 4+8 Ohm fits this bill. This 8-inch coaxial speaker combines two high-performance transducers in a single chassis: one for the bass and one for the treble, all orchestrated around a single neodymium magnet.

This design choice limits the footprint while ensuring phase coherence, which is particularly useful for stage monitors, compact speakers, or mobile applications where every centimeter counts.

The 8CXN51 delivers a clear and balanced signal over a range of 70 Hz to 18 kHz, with a 100° aperture that ensures good coverage even off-axis. In practice, you can push the power without fear: 500 watts continuous on the bass section, 100 watts on the treble side. And with 97 dB of sensitivity for the woofer and 104 dB for the tweeter, it responds quickly without requiring monstrous amplification.

Another strong point? Its robustness. The woofer cone is treated to resist moisture on the front panel, a detail that makes all the difference when the environment isn't perfectly dry.

The polyimide high-frequency cone smoothly handles dynamic surges. Everything is housed in a compact, easy-to-integrate chassis: only 225 mm in diameter and 111 mm deep.

Add to that a reasonable weight (2.6 kg), a standard 187 mm cutout, and solid construction... and you have a versatile speaker, capable of adapting to different projects, whether audiophile, stage, or on-board.

A well-designed component that saves time while ensuring a clean and precise sound. Nothing superfluous, just the essentials to make it sound good.
