The strong magnet system gives the FRS 8 M a sensitivity of 88 dB, making it useful for compact bass-reflex speakers and columns. Its 75 mm cut-out and enclosure parameters differ from those of the standard FRS 8.
Typical applications
- Small bass-reflex loudspeakers
- Column loudspeakers
- Miniature subwoofer/satellite systems

Installation and cabinet guidance
Allow for a 78 mm square frame, 44 mm depth and additional space for the terminals. Use the FRS 8 M enclosure parameters when designing the cabinet. Optional grilles: 1138 and 4634.
Use an amplifier suitable for the 8 Ω load and observe terminal polarity. For a 100 V line system, connect through a suitable line transformer; do not connect the driver directly to the line.
