B&C Speakers - 8CXN51 8+16 Ohm

The B&C Speakers 8CXN51 8+16 Ohm is a coaxial speaker that can fit into many configurations. By combining an 8-inch woofer and a 1.7-inch tweeter in a single chassis around a single neodymium magnet, it saves space without compromising on reproduction quality or coherence between registers. This type of architecture is ideal for those looking to build efficient two-way speakers, whether for stage monitors, fixed installations, or portable speakers.

With a frequency response ranging from 70 Hz to 18 kHz and a natural 100° coverage, the 8CXN51 guarantees wide and controlled diffusion. It's capable of handling 500W of bass and 100W of treble, ensuring a sound that's both stable and dynamic, without having to push the amplification to its limits. Sensitivity is also excellent, with 97dB for the bass and 104dB for the high frequencies.

But what makes this model truly compelling is its robust design. The woofer is equipped with a waterproof cone at the front to withstand humid conditions, while the HF compression driver is mounted on a polyimide dome, a material known for its thermal resistance.

The whole system is based on solid engineering: a 51mm voice coil for the low end, 44mm for the high end, a fiberglass structure, aluminum windings... everything is designed to last, even on tour.

Its well-designed dimensions (225 mm diameter, 111 mm depth, 2.6 kg) allow for easy installation in many projects, whether new or as a replacement.

And with a standard 187 mm cutout, integrators and manufacturers can adopt it without complex adjustments. The 8CXN51 8+16 Ohm is therefore a reliable, well-balanced component, designed for those who want a clean, no-frills design with true acoustic qualities.
