8FIND

The 8FIND is a high efficiency, (97 dB 1watt / 1 meter) 8-inch mid bass woofer with incredibly linear frequency response characteristics, high power handling capability while generating low harmonic distortion artifacts.
The 8FIND uses a lightweight carbon fiber loaded cone assembly along with a precision double roll surround. This combination provides remarkable strength, high efficiency and a excursion linearity of 9.4mm.

Magnetic Circuit
REDCATT engineers have developed an efficient, ferrite based magnetic circuit, capable of delivering the highest level of performance providing a consistent, high integrity magnetic flux gap, low distortion characteristic. The magnetic circuit design is optimized to generate the minimum amount of flux modulation, providing exceptional stability.

The 8FINDX8-030 is an 8-inch high-efficiency ferrite mid-woofer designed for professional two-way, multi-way, and installation loudspeaker systems where maximum sensitivity and controlled low-distortion performance are required. With a sensitivity of 97 dB (1W/1m), a 2-inch CCAW voice coil on a glass fiber former, and a lightweight carbon fiber loaded paper cone with a precision double roll fabric surround, the driver achieves a very low Qts of 0.25. The motor and suspension are optimized to maintain consistent performance at high drive levels, with controlled excursion and reduced thermal compression during long-term operation.

The driver is rated for approximately 200 W AES / 400 W continuous power handling and is intended for use with DSP-controlled amplification. A high-pass filter in the range of 41-56 Hz (24 dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley) is recommended depending on enclosure tuning, with a typical crossover to a high-frequency driver at 1.5-3 kHz. Below tuning frequency, excursion increases and high-pass protection is required to manage mechanical stress, particularly given the modest linear excursion capability. The driver's extreme sensitivity means high SPL is achievable with moderate amplifier power.

This driver is particularly effective in high-efficiency 2-way portable loudspeakers, compact PA tops, stage monitors, and installation systems where maximum sensitivity, extended frequency response, and low distortion are priorities. The carbon fiber loaded paper cone, flux-modulation-optimized ferrite motor, and aluminum basket provide consistent, durable performance in demanding professional environments.
