DescriptionSpecificationsrelated itemswarranty
The Dayton Reference Series dome midrange delivers excellent off-axis response and midrange performance. Its black anodized 2" diaphragm is extremely linear throughout the midrange and lower treble, allowing it to provide a seamless transition to tweeters. The superior dispersion characteristics will eliminate suckouts and other problems that can occur in typical two-way designs with large woofers. High quality construction includes a cast aluminum faceplate, metal grill, vented former, and copper clad pole piece. Great for use with other members of the Reference Series, but will also work well with any high-performance driver. Specifications: *Power handling: 60 watts RMS/90 watts max *VCdia: 2" *Impedance: 8 ohms *Re: 5.4 ohms *Frequency range: 500-7,000 Hz *Fs: 383 Hz *SPL: 91 dB 1W/1m *Dimensions: A: 5-1/8", B: 4-1/8", C: 2-1/8".
  • Large damped rear chamber for low resonance point
  • 2" Aluminum diaphragm for good clarity and dispersion
  • Neodymium magnet minimizes stray magnetic field
  • Copper clad motor reduces distortion for transparent sound

Good within limitations, not my favorite mid

LouC from Unknown Location  

My initial impressions were very positive. Easy to mount, visually cool. After awhile I found it to be edgy and one dimensional. Needs some TLC on the crossover side to incorporate it. If I wanted a mid to cover this range, I'd prefer the Tang Band W3-1335 3" or the Morel domes.

RobH (RH434) from Carlisle, PA  

I was custom building a bass guitar cabinet and used all PE stuff. Basslite 2012, Dayton PC2W1.6K 2-Way Pro Crossover 1,600 Hz w/ integrated L-Pad and 1/4" jacks. The design was calling for a tweet here, but in a bass cabinet, I don't want that much high, but to really push the low-mid range. So I experimented with these. Wow! they really brightened up my tone and sound great, but did need the L-Pad to tone them down a bit. Now there's no hole in between my woofer cutoff and a tweeter.
Wish I had room for them in my current rebuild of another cabinet.

Rob Lewis from Puget Sound, WA  

Using this to add some top end to a bass guitar cabinet, crossing over at about 1500 Hz. It seems to do the job. I have a protective breaker installed (#260-823); hope it works.
Based on my quick & dirty measurements, the frequency response is rather ragged, but extends pretty high, with a peak around 14KHz. Flatness isn't really a big issue in this application.
