Using coaxial products for DIY monitors and home hi-fi applications
Eminence offers coaxial woofers in 8", 10", and 12", called the Beta-8CX, Beta-10CX and Beta-12CX, respectively. These woofers have a threaded pole-piece so that a screw-on, 1" exit high frequency driver can be attached to form a coaxial set up. The woofer has a screen type dust cap, which allows the output of the high frequency driver to pass through the center. A small, 60 degree conical horn is attached to the top of the pole-piece beneath the dust cap. In my experience, it seems that our coaxial products are misunderstood and do not have enough exposure. In this article, I hope to raise awareness by sharing my own experiences and show how you can use them to create a great monitor or home hi-fi speaker.

Understanding Loudspeaker Power Ratings
Speaker power handling must be the most misunderstood specification in our industry. Knowing the power handling of a speaker is rather useless without considering other specs and details. It"s like knowing the what" without the when" or where."
Eminence uses an industry standard method (EIA 426A) for establishing power ratings. A speaker is tested in free-air with a continuous noise signal with a 6dB crest factor. This continuous average power rating (or watts" rating) is basically a thermal limit. Eminence does not associate a watts rating with RMS." RMS pertains to voltage or current, but RMS watts" is an erroneous term. The music program rating is always twice the continuous rating. It is a higher rating because music has many peaks and dips and is not as abusive as a continuous signal. This is a good rating to select amplifier power for proper headroom in a pro audio application. Eminence does not publish a peak rating, but we accept it as four times the continuous rating. Peak is higher because the shorter duration of a burst of sound is less abusive than a music signal or a continuous signal.
