B&C Speakers - 8FMB51 16 Ohm

The B&C Speakers 8FMB51 16 Ohm is aimed at loudspeaker designers and integrators looking for a bass-midrange driver capable of combining efficiency, precision and reliability in a compact format. Designed for professional applications, it fits naturally into passive or active two-way loudspeakers, stage monitors or installed systems where space and weight need to be kept under control.

Its 51 mm aluminium voice coil can handle 250 W AES power, with a comfortable programme margin, while maintaining a stable response at high levels. The ferrite motor ensures linear behaviour and good thermal control, while the high sensitivity makes it easy to combine with compression drivers without the need for excessive corrections.

The waterproof paper cone ensures good resistance to mechanical and environmental stress, making this model suitable for both mobile and fixed installations. The triple-roller suspension provides controlled travel, for a clean reproduction of the low end of the spectrum while maintaining a precise attack in the midrange.

With an extended bandwidth down to 4.5 kHz, the 8FMB51 16 Ohm offers great crossover flexibility and simplifies the design of compact, highly intelligible systems. Its balanced behaviour and moderate recommended load make it an easy loudspeaker to operate, both passively and actively.
