Eton 8-212/C8/37 Hexacone Symphony II 8" Woofer

Eton 8-212/C8/37 Hexacone Symphony II 8" "Honeycomb" Fiber Cone Woofer- 223mm - 8 ohm

The 8-212 has good specs for a vented enclosure.  Vented boxes have more bass output and higher power handling.  This woofer would be a good choice as a bass driver in a 3-way system and also has extended high frequency response for use in a 2-way.  This is the latest version of the well known Eton Hexacone woofers.  The 3 layer Hexacone is nicely detailed, yet warm sounding.  Most drivers can't provide both detail and warmth, but the Hexacone's always have fast and detailed reproduction, authentic staging and uncolored sound.  The Hex Symphony II Series is the logical development of our successful patented Symphony I Series. All of ETON’s expertise has been poured into the development of the Symphony Series. For the first time, the specially patented production process enabled the three-layered sandwich type of construction in combination with aramid fibres and their hexagonal internal structure. Maximum rigidity and excellent internal absorbing action are therefore guaranteed. The manually applied coating also supports neutral cone behaviour and provides the surface with visual depth.

The Symphony II midrange drivers and woofers create unique sound spectrums typical of Hex. The sound features are harmonic, smooth reflections of the overtones and distinctive, light midranges. A precise and powerful bass is created in the woofer range. All Symphony II chassis are characterized by a high degree of musical imaging and an impressive soundscape. The ferrite magnet geometry’s special design makes the magnetic field almost perfectly symmetrical. Multiple ventilation and the flow-supporting cast basket guarantees minimum compression effects at large amplitudes.
