ScanSpeak Illuminator 12MU/8731T00 5" Midrange specifications

Diameter
Cone diameter — larger cones move more air and reach deeper bass
5"
Impedance
Voice-coil electrical resistance — must match your amplifier (e.g. 4Ω/8Ω)
8 Ω
Power (RMS)
Continuous power the driver handles safely (RMS) — not peak power
80 W
Sensitivity (SPL)
Sensitivity — loudness at 1W/1m; higher means louder with less amplifier power
87 dB
Fs
Free-air resonance frequency — lower generally means deeper bass extension
66 Hz
Qts
Total Q at resonance (electrical + mechanical) — guides the sealed vs ported choice
0.29
Qes
Electrical Q at resonance — comes from the magnet motor strength
0.31
Qms
Mechanical Q at resonance — from damping of the surround and spider
3.63
Vas
Equivalent air volume of the suspension compliance — used to size the enclosure
5.8 L
Sd
Effective cone area that actually moves air
58 cm²
Xmax
Maximum linear excursion — more travel means louder bass without distortion
3.4 mm
Re
DC resistance of the voice coil
5.9 Ω
Le
Voice-coil inductance — affects high-frequency response
0.13 mH
Mms
Total moving mass, including the air load
4.7 g
BL
Motor force factor (magnetic flux × coil length) — higher means tighter cone control
6.1 T·m
Weight
Driver weight
800 g
