Markaudio Pluvia Eleven Grey 6" Full Range

MarkAudio Pluvia Eleven 6" Metal Cone Full Range with Grey Cone Color- 172mm- 8 ohm

The Pluvia range offers high technology design and superb value for money. Benefiting from features trickled down from our statement Alpair range, the Pluvias provide wideband drivers with low distortion motors, low-profile high-rigidity glass-fibre mixed polymer baskets, long linear stroke and some of the most advanced uncoated paper and magnesium-alloy cone designs to be brought to market.

The Pluvia 11 is a completely new driver design. It is the first “full range” driver that can handle bass loads typically delivered by 5.5 inch to 6.5 inch mid-bass units used in most 2 way systems. The Pluvia 11 cone is an entirely new design from Mark Fenlon. It uses a new super-strength aerospace grade alloy designed to cope with high bending stress loads. The material thickness is increased by 50% over previous Markaudio designs, yet the profile remains shallow to increase dispersion.

Low Q, can be used in ported box (see below). The Full Range audio driver that produces more bass! For the first time in the history of traditional full-range driver design, users now have a genuine choice to go full-range without sacrificing bass handling, or use it as a wide-range mid-bass driver that allows simple filtering. The new Pluvia Eleven is an excellent high-end and multi-purpose driver. It's also suitable for many computer, Home Theatre, TV, and commercial A/V applications. Along with the Pluvia 7, this new family of drivers will serve custom builders well into the future. For the first time in the history of traditional full-range driver design, users now have a genuine choice to go full-range without sacrificing bass handling, or use it as a wide-range mid-bass driver that allows simple filtering.

Two more processes have been added to the Multiform cone production sequence to increase Pluvia 11's operational low frequency load capacity. The all-new front suspension has a variable thickness geometry, increasing oscillatory stability by 30% over previous designs. The rear suspension (spider) has an operational surface area 25% larger than the Alpair 10 to cope with load demands of typical mid-bass units. However, the Pluvia 11’s high range has not been sacrificed. It outperforms the smaller Alpair 10 by reaching slightly higher frequencies with an improved spread on the high-range lift above 10kHz.

Other design advances include the new “easy install” frame. This new-technology one-piece moulding utilises a GF30 glass fibre and resin mix. Pluvia 11’s frame is more rigid than previous designs, with a mounting depth of only 4.5mm, making both recessed and surface-mounting simple. Two new cone colours add visual interest. 

Small to medium sized speakers are usually lower power designs. The power rating is given in the technical data for each audio driver. For a reliable long service life, please operate your new speakers with care. For the first 100 hours, operate them at very low volumes. After this period, gradually increase the volume to a normal listening level. If you see the cone of the speakers making large movements, immediately turn the volume down. This will protect the speaker and your human hearing from damage. Factory mechanical defects for a period of 1 year. Excessive hard use (over-driving) and other damage caused during customer use is excluded from our warranty.
