Please consult www.eminence.com for specifications of models with alternative impedances.
** Multiple units exceed published rating evaluated under EIA 426A noise source and test standard while in a free-air, non-temperature controlled environment.
***

The average on axis output across the usable frequency range when applying 1W/1m into the nominal impedance, i.e. 2.83V/8Ω, 4V/16Ω.  Eminence response curves are measured under the following conditions:  All speakers are tested at 1W/1m using a variety of test set-ups for the appropriate impedance | LMS using 0.25" supplied microphone (software calibrated) mounted 1m from wall/baffle | 2ft x 2ft baffle is built into the wall with speaker mounted flush against a steel ring for minimum diffraction | Carver PM-120 amplifier | 2700ft3 chamber with fiberglass on all six surfaces (three with custom-made wedges).

**** BETA 8CX, 10CX, 12CX and Acoustinator™ CX2008 are coaxial speakers with tweeter sold separately. Published Usable frequency response obtained with APT50 high frequency driver attached.
