Review on 🔍 Optimized for SEO: Dayton Audio DAEX25FHE-4 - 25mm High Efficiency Exciter, 24W, 4 Ohm, Framed by Carlos Phillips

I ordered TWO Dayton audio drivers for a speaker project I had in mind. Can you imagine my disappointment when I opened the boxes and found ONE empty!? I've heard of quality control issues before, but that's a whole other level of opps! The product itself works exactly as you envision it and you can create a unique flat panel speaker with very little effort. In my case I needed a center channel speaker for my bedroom and the thought of using a lightweight panel suspended from the ceiling was the perfect solution. Since my Sony AVR has a slightly higher power output than you would expect from a single converter, I ordered TWO of these to mount on the same panel. At 25 watts they can't handle much power on their own and if you push them a little too hard they'll rev up and rumble like hell, hence my desire to use TWO of them. As a lifelong audio freak, I'm pretty picky about the noise that comes from my stuff, and even I'm amazed at what you can get out of ONE of these little toys. I'll admit I bought them as an experiment, but the results were good enough that I bought TWO of the 40 watt versions today for the same project. Speakers because they are very adaptable and the panels are easy to disguise as everyday objects. Will they ever replace the 12" and 15" drivers in my turrets or Martin Logan electrostatic system? Unlikely. But in certain circumstances they can perfectly match the needs of your application. I recommend using the larger 40W versions if they're intended for large areas, and the smaller versions for desks or small spaces. The only thing to keep in mind is that you feel the tonality of any surface you put it on. The 1" foam board gives the sound a weird plastic sound, the acoustic ceiling board significantly dampens the output and muddy the sound, the 3/16" birch plywood board has the least adverse effect of anything I've tried so far. I've found that simply tapping the surface of whatever media you're considering with your fingernail is the easiest way to see how it affects the output. goes up to the transmission of vocals, as in my center channel application. It may be appropriate to create beautiful images of certain frequencies while watching salt crystals dance across a blackboard, but the human voice is never that perfect or consistent. I tried several different iterations of this formula including 1/5 and 4/5 and finally settled on a dead center mount. This gave me the clearest focus point for vocals and eliminated that breathy, ethereal quality you get from the other end of the panel as the vibrations spread outward from the transducer. At least you'll have fun experimenting, but don't expect it. too much and you won't be disappointed. hp I will give them more stars if they send me the missing block. Update: I did another test with only the center channel active and I will change my statement about the acoustic tile, it really has the least impact on the tonality of the sound. all three panel types I tried. As it turns out, the breathless, ethereal quality described above is due to the reverb coming off the back of the panel and reflecting off the wall behind. Listening to these panels reminded me of a speaker out of the box playing outdoors, and that's exactly what's happening here.
