Description
Moto series CX69 speakers deliver an enhanced level of balanced output
and
efficiency over the previous design with improved mid-bass extension
and accuracy, with complete attention given to the open environment
applications speakers in this category, are designed for.
Based
on a reimagined design, these next-gen speakers handle more power and
shrug off water, dust, and debris better than their predecessors. They
are technically a component speaker set with the tweeter mounted on a
bridge above the woofer. The benefit of this design is a significant
increase in the woofer cone area that improves efficiency and enhances
low-frequency output capabilities. The elimination of the second
weather-resistant surround around a coaxial pole piece found on its
predecessor, the Moto692, provides an additional improvement in sound
quality.
The basket features a high-density pressure cast
four-spoke basket that features eight large hi-velocity cooling vents
under the spider mounting plateau to help heat from the voice coil
escape this custom-tooled design.
The motor is based around a
Y35A-grade ferrite magnet, and the top plate is CNC-cut hot-rolled
steel. Most listeners will perceive this upgrade over the previous
design as delivering a smoother and more accurate midrange response with
better overall accuracy and higher levels of efficiency effectively
delivering more sound per watt than other brands while remaining
composed with unmatchable musical properties.
As a complete
scratch design, the staff in ARC Audio’s speaker transducer engineering
team spent significant time optimizing every component for this new
design. The woofer cones are based on an injection-molded polypropylene
doped with carbon to increase thermal stability and improve the damping
characteristics. Built with entirely UV-resistant materials that can
stand the test of time the CX69 features a hi-clearance low-shore rubber
surround and a form molded dual-step sealed 1-piece dust cap that
covers the tri-layered bonded joint between the cone, the spider, and
the 1.45-inch glass ber voice coil former.
The Moto CX69’s large
diameter of the voice coil helps to improve thermal power handling by
increasing its total surface area. Using lightweight, layered Kapton and
glass ber as a foundation the CX69’s pure OFC copper windings are built
using ARC Audio’s proprietary “Step-up” power handling design
requirements greatly improving the thermal rating and overall power
handling of the speaker. Likewise, the choice of a ferrite magnet allows
it to act as a large-mass thermal heat sink to wick heat away from the
voice coil assembly. The result is a speaker design that can “easily”
handle its rated 125-watt musical / 300-peak power level rating with
ease.
The spider is made of hybrid Nomex and features a constant
wave progressive rolled design that prevents the assembly from bottoming
out at extreme power levels. The spider, coil former, and cone are
stagger step bonded together with a high-temperature adhesive rated for
over 230 degrees C (440+ F) to ensure reliability and improve strength
at extended hi-level listening periods.
Moving onto the tweeter
of the CX69 the team at ARC used a highly efficient but sonically
superior polyetherimide (PEI) and mylar dome damped with Norseal PVC
mesh on the dome of this sealed and suspended design. This unique
composite dome design is popular in pro audio compression drivers as it
combines strength and damping with heat- and weather resistance. The
CX69 Tweeters 25mm voice coil, much like the midrange uses a
hi-temperature temper, step-cured adhesives on a copper voice coil
wrapped around a composite Kapton mesh former, and a neodymium slug in
the center of the voice coil serves as the motor.
Simply put, the
CX69 is loaded with the latest and greatest speaker components and
assembly technology. If you’re searching for a motorcycle speaker that
sounds realistic and offers impressive midbass performance while still
getting loud, then the MOTO CX69 should be the target product for your
Harley Davidson Motorcycle, UTV, or even Marine audio application!
