When applied to vertical surfaces the Dayton Audio DAEX32Q-8 dual spring balanced exciter has more linear movement to deliver extremely accurate response while producing lower distortion.
Dayton Audio DAEX32Q-8 Dual Steel Spring Balanced 32mm Exciter 20W 8 Ohm
The DAEX32Q-8 from Dayton Audio can turn most rigid, flat surfaces into a speaker. Designed specifically for mounting to vertical surfaces, this exciter uses a dual spring spider to better support the large neodymium motor providing improved linearity. With a 2-layer 32 mm voice coil, this exciter can handle up to 20 watts RMS for high output even when attached to thicker surfaces. To ensure maximum acoustic energy transfer between the transducer and the surface to which it is attached, 3M VHB (Very High Bond) adhesive is pre-applied... just peel and stick! This exciter is perfect for turning whatever you can imagine into a speaker such as cabinet doors, monitors, windows, garage doors, ect…
A great field of application for this exciter is so-called DML or flat-panel speakers. DML stands for Distributed Mode Loudspeakers and is a term for speakers that catch the eye with their incredibly slim design.
Curious about how to create invisible sound with exciters? In this blog, Ben Zenker, an expert with more than 15 years of experience and 10 internationally reviewed publications, shares his in-depth knowledge on material selection, installation and optimising sound quality. An indispensable resource for the passionate DIY audio enthusiast.
Note: An exciter's frequency response and sensitivity are completely dependent on the exciter's designated surface. Thinner, smaller materials will tend to be louder and create a mid/tweeter response. Thicker, larger materials (with multiple exciters) will be slightly quieter but result in a more full-range sound.
