FOOTNOTES
* Please consult www.eminence.com for specifications of models with alternative impedances.
** Multiple units exceed published rating evaluated under EIA 426A noise source and test standard while in a free-air,
nontemperature-controlled environment.
*** The average output across the usable frequency range when applying 1W/1m into the nominal impedance. Ie: 2.83 V/8 ohms,
4 V/16 ohms. Eminence response curves are measured under the following conditions: All speakers are tested at 1W/1m
using a variety of test set-ups for the appropriate impedance | LMS using 0.25" supplied microphone (software calibrated)
mounted 1m from wall/baffle | 2 ft. x 2 ft. baffle is built into the wall with the speaker mounted flush against a steel ring
for minimum diffraction | Hafler P1500 Trans-Nova amplifier | 2700 cu. ft. chamber with fiberglass on all six surfaces
(three with custom-made wedges).

Each Eminence Professional model can be identified by its cast aluminum
Eminence chassis that is lightweight and strong. Aluminum does not conduct
the magnetic field out of the gap, thereby making the motor strength higher and
the stray magnetic field lower. We coat each chassis and all metal components

neodymium series
The basic design of the loudspeaker
hasn’t changed much in the
past 50 years. On the contrary,
many materials incorporated in
loudspeaker design have
improved dramatically.
Back in the 50s and 60s, Alnico was the most common magnet used in loudspeakers.
However, a shortage in materials and increased costs for Alnico during that time
precipitated a shift to the widespread use of the ceramic magnets most of us are
familiar with today.
Just before the turn of this century, speaker manufacturers started seriously
evaluating the potential benefits of using neodymium magnets in loudspeakers.
Although neodymium magnets were expensive, they allowed loudspeaker motors
to be as little as half the weight of comparable ceramic magnet motors. Prices of
neodymium started coming down and interest in lighter weight speakers grew, as
did neodymium
speaker options.
Today, Eminence has become the industry leader in neodymium loudspeaker design.
The Eminence LA, Deltalite and Kappalite models represent very lightweight, high
performance loudspeakers without compromises in power handling, performance
or reliability.
There are 8 unique models available in our Neodymium Professional series. Each
was designed with a specific application in mind. From heavy-duty subwoofers,
midranges, and transducers in truncated frames for line arrays, there is an Eminence
Neodymium Professional model for your application. Each product includes Made
in the USA pride, along with a Seven Year Warranty against manufacturer’s defects*.
With over 1,200 USA dealers and distributors worldwide, you can easily find them in
a store near you.
*Warranty policy may vary outside of the continental United States and Canada.
Check with your local distributor for warranty details.

We’ve put a tone control knob in a most unexpected place.
Introducing the world’s
first speaker with built-in,
analog tone control.
Born from a heritage of quality, tone and innovation,
the new Flux Density Modulation (FDM) Technology
from Eminence is a tonal breakthrough for guitar
players everywhere.
This revolutionary, all-analog technology puts a new
twist on guitar tone. Just turn the modulator knob
to adjust speaker output and amplifier interaction,
helping you find that sweet spot of saturated tube
tone but at a significantly lower volume. Tweak the
knob for a wide range of tones: More attenuation
affords a warmer tone while less attenuation restores
volume and brightness. It’s like switching amps in the
middle of the set. You get real attenuation without losing
the “feel” of playing through a speaker. No pedals or
expensive electronics – just a speaker, from Eminence.
Available in both the Patriot® and Red Coat® lines
of Eminence guitar speakers, the Maverick™
and ReignMaker™ models each put tonal control
at your fingertips.

Flux Density Modulation (FDM) Technology

UNDERSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER DATA
The ability to choose the most appropriate loudspeaker for a particular enclosure is directly related to your understanding of the performance data that
manufacturers provide with their products. Prior to 1970, there were no easy or affordable methods accepted as standard in the industry for obtaining this data.
The recognized methods were expensive and often unrealistic for the thousands of individuals needing loudspeaker performance information.
Thiele-Small parameters
In the early seventies, several technical papers were
presented to the AES (Audio Engineering Society) that
resulted in the development of what we know today
as “Thiele-Small Parameters”. These papers were
authored by A.N. Thiele, and Richard H. Small.
The Thiele and Small papers concentrated on
showing how the following parameters define the
relationship between a speaker and a particular
enclosure. Eminence recommends that you develop
a basic understanding for the meaning of each
parameter so that you can make informed decisions
when choosing your loudspeakers.
Fs
This parameter is the free-air resonant
frequency of a speaker. Simply stated, it is the
point at which the weight of the moving parts of the
speaker becomes balanced with the force of the
speaker suspension when in motion. It is important
to know this information so that you can prevent your
enclosure from ringing like a bell when it reaches
its resonant frequency. As a general rule of thumb,
a lower Fs indicates a woofer that would be better
for low-frequency reproduction than a woofer with
a higher Fs. However, other parameters affect the
ultimate performance of a woofer as well and may
make a speaker with a higher Fs a better candidate
for your application.
Re
This parameter is very simply the DC resistance
of the driver in question. In other words, this
measurement is made with an ohm meter and is
often referred to as the “DCR”. This measurement
will almost always be less than the impedance
listed by the manufacturer. Many consumers get
concerned when they see that the Re is less than the
published impedance and fear that their amplifier
is getting a load that is too heavy. Due to the fact
that the inductance of a speaker rises with a rise in
frequency, it is not likely that the amplifier will often
see the DC resistance as its load.
Le
This parameter is the voice coil inductance
of the speaker measured in millihenries (mH). The
industry standard is to measure inductance at 1,000
Hz. This is a difficult parameter to explain, but
basically as frequencies get higher there will be a rise
in impedance above the DC resistance rating. This
can be attributed to the fact that the voice coil is
acting as an inductor. Consequently, the impedance
of a speaker is not a fixed resistance, but can be
represented as a curve that changes as the input
52
frequency changes. Maximum impedance or Zmax
occurs at Fs.
Qts, Qes, and Qtc are all
measurements related to the control of a speaker’s
suspension when it reaches the resonant frequency.
is a measurement of the control coming
from the speaker’s mechanical suspension system;
the surround and spider.
Qes
is a measurement of the control coming from
the speaker’s electrical suspension system; the voice
coil and magnet.
Qts
is called the “Total Q” of the driver and is
derived from an equation where Qes is multiplied by
Qms and the result is divided by the sum of the same.
The result is Qts. As a general guideline, woofers fall
into three categories relative to their Qts:
1. Qts of .4 or below indicates a woofer well suited
for a vented enclosure.
2. Qts between .4 and .7 indicates a woofer well
suited for a sealed enclosure.
3. Qts of .7 or above indicates a woofer well suited
for free-air or infinite baffle applications.
These suggestions are simply rules of thumb and do
not always apply. For instance, the Eminence Kilomax
18 has a Qts of .56 that would indicate a sealed
enclosure, but we know that the Kilomax is one of
the most highly regarded woofers in the Professional
Audio industry for a ported enclosure.
Vas/Cms
Vas (Not to be confused with
the recommended enclosure size.) represents
the equivalent stiffness in an air volume to the
force of the compliance (Cms) of the suspension
in a particular speaker. It is one of the trickiest
parameters to measure. Air changes relative to
humidity and temperature. Cms is measured in
meters per Newton. It is the force exerted by the
mechanical suspension of the speaker. It is simply
a measurement of its stiffness.
Vd
Expressed in Tesla meters is a measurement
of the motor strength of a speaker. This is created
Q Parameters
Qms
Bl
This parameter is the Peak Diaphragm
Displacement Volume. It is the Xmax (Voice Coil
Overhang) of the driver multiplied by the Sd (Surface
area of the cone). Simply stated it is a measurement
of how much air the cone will move at full excursion
and is usually noted in cc.
by the product of the magnetic field strength times
the length of wire in the field. If you were to take
a given mass, that when placed on the cone of a
speaker would move the cone downward from its
home position, then measure the current in amperes
required to move the cone back to home position,
you can calculate Bl. The formula is Ma in grams
divided the current in amperes.
Mms
This parameter is the combination of the
weight of the cone assembly plus the driver radiation
mass load. Confusing…but the weight of the cone
assembly is easy. Most manufacturers know that
weight when the speaker is designed. It is the sum
of the weight of the cone assembly components. The
driver radiation mass load is the confusing part. In
simple terminology, it is the weight of the air that the
cone will have to push. Air certainly has mass and
needs to be recognized in these calculations.
Rms
This parameter represents the mechanical
resistance of a driver’s suspension losses. It is a
measurement of the absorption qualities of the
speaker suspension and is stated in N*sec/m.
EBP
This measurement represents Fs / Qe. It is
used in many enclosure design formulas to determine
if a speaker is more suitable for a closed or vented
design. An EBP close to 100 usually indicates a
speaker that is best suited for a vented enclosure.
On the contrary, an EBP closer to 50 usually indicates
a speaker best suited for a closed box design.
Xmax
Short for Maximum Linear Excursion.
Speaker output becomes non-linear when the voice
coil begins to leave the magnetic gap. Although
suspensions can create non-linearity in output, the
point at which the number of turns in the gap (see
Bl) begins to decrease is when distortion starts to
increase. Some manufacturers have often used the
maximum excursion of the speaker which when
exceeded would result in mechanical damage. This
parameter is recognized as Xlim. The bottom line is;
be sure you are comparing apples to apples. Most
manufacturers will specify the way this measurement
is obtained. Distortion is typically very audible before
Xlim is reached due to the increase in non-linearity in
the motor and suspensions.
