Multi-Field Magnetic Speakers

TDT Multi-Field Magnetic Speakers offer high output and fidelity over a wide bandwidth and deliver more power at lower frequencies than our electrostatic speakers. They are well-suited for laboratory species with lower frequency hearing and for noise exposure studies.

Detachable tips allow them to be configured for either free- or closed- field use. The closed-field configuration incorporates an internal parabolic cone designed to maximize output and minimize distortion. Tips are tapered for either direct application or for use with 1/8” O.D. PVC tubing. The mono speaker is provided with two 10 cm tubes and the stereo speaker set is provided with four 10
cm tubes.

Speakers feature a rugged aluminum housing and a built-in, 8-32 threaded hole for use with standard laboratory mounting hardware. The mono speaker includes a aluminum stand and the stereo speaker set includes a variety of aluminum mount/base fittings for easier positioning.

The speakers can be driven directly from the RZ6 or using either TDT’s SA1 or SA8 stereo amplifiers. The speaker input carries both bias and signal voltages from the stereo amplifier.
