Description

The EX 60 S transfers vibration into a panel rather than using a conventional speaker cone. This is the 8 Ω model, part 4506, with a 32.5 mm voice coil. Panel material, dimensions and mounting affect the sound, so assess it with the intended panel.

Typical applications

  • Concealed audio behind a vibrating panel
  • Signal output where appearance prevents a visible speaker
  • Installations designed to shield the sound source from tampering or environmental exposure

Dimensions and drawings
Installation and cabinet guidance

Bond or screw the exciter to the panel using the fixing positions shown in the drawing. Optional Pad EX 60 S (4556) uses 3M VHB 4919F adhesive for flat surfaces. Test the sound with the intended panel and fixing method, as the panel material, size and mounting affect the result.
