Overview

Beyma 12MCS500 MCS Series 12" Midbass Driver 8 Ohm

Beyma 12MCS500 MCS Series 12" Midbass Driver 8 Ohm

The 12MCS500 pairs high power handling with 98 dB sensitivity, ensuring strong output and clarity in midbass-focused applications. Its 2.5" copper voice coil is wound on a fiberglass former, providing durability and thermal resistance under continuous power. The inclusion of Beyma’s Maltcross cooling system helps reduce power compression, maintaining performance over long sessions. Capable of ±8 mm Xmax and a 40 mm peak-to-peak excursion, it delivers clean, impactful midbass with minimal distortion. Optimized for 2 or 3 way PA systems and line array applications, the 12MCS500 fits seamlessly into professional audio systems needing precise and powerful midbass reproduction.

At Beyma, the challenge of heat dissipation is met with a clear objective: ensuring our speakers consistently deliver optimal performance within the system, maximizing total sound pressure level (SPL) and maintaining stability.

It's widely recognized that a system's overall SPL decreases over time due to power compression effects in the speakers. Typically, larger voice coil diameters correlate with higher power capacity; however, this also necessitates bigger motor structures to achieve high total output from the transducer.

Beyma's Maltcross cooling technology presents multiple solutions to achieve this goal. It enables the woofer to handle higher power levels with a given coil diameter, allowing for designs with smaller coils and motor structures. This reduction in size decreases weight, increases sensitivity, and maintains adequate power handling for specific applications, resulting in a total SPL comparable to that of drivers with larger motor structures.

Maltcross technology incorporates a forced convection circuit within the driver's core, effectively lowering the coil's operating temperature. Additionally, it functions as a demodulation ring, linearizing the transducer's inductance.
