With its neodymium magnet and 14-inch format, it targets enclosures where both efficiency and ease of integration are sought, especially when weight and size are as important as performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts 80-degree coverage and dedicated HF driver make it a natural candidate for 2-way speakers with controlled directivity, providing a more stable image than a traditional woofer + separate horn setup, especially at short and medium distances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For and Intended Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis coaxial transducer is aimed at speaker manufacturers, integrators, contractors, and skilled DIYers designing high-performance passive systems. It is particularly suitable for \u003cstrong\u003estage monitors\u003c\/strong\u003e (coherence and intelligibility), \u003cstrong\u003ecompact point-source speakers\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efixed installations\u003c\/strong\u003e (clubs, multipurpose rooms), and systems where minimizing crossover overlap issues is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its sensitivity and frequency response, it can serve as a foundation for speakers capable of delivering high output levels with reasonable amplification, while maintaining precise reproduction of vocals and instruments. Its \"point source\" behavior is also appreciated when seeking even coverage and improved transient response.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features and Design Highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCoaxial: coherence, phase, and simpler placement\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe coaxial principle places the HF source at the center of the low\/mid driver. The result: a sensation of a single source, better spatial coherence, and often simpler placement in a compact enclosure. This approach helps maintain more consistent dispersion in the crossover region between LF and HF, resulting in more uniform listening on and off axis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eNeodymium motor and mechanical robustness\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe neodymium magnet allows maintaining an excellent power-to-weight ratio, which is valuable for portable speakers or setups where every kilogram counts. Mechanically, the 14CXN88 features a \u003cstrong\u003etriple-roll LF suspension\u003c\/strong\u003e and an \u003cstrong\u003e8.5 mm Xmax\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed to withstand heavy demands in the low\/mid range and maintain control at high levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDiaphragms and treatment for real-world reliability\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe exponential cone benefits from a \u003cstrong\u003ewaterproof treatment front and back\u003c\/strong\u003e, an advantage for demanding environments (transport, humidity variations, intensive use). For the HF section, the model features a \u003cstrong\u003epolyester\/titanium diaphragm\u003c\/strong\u003e and a 3-inch (75 mm) HF voice coil, ensuring detailed reproduction and good thermal handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTwo ways, two impedances: a solid base for proper filtering\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe speaker is specified with \u003cstrong\u003e8 Ohms\u003c\/strong\u003e on the LF section and \u003cstrong\u003e8 Ohms\u003c\/strong\u003e on the HF section, as well as power ratings of \u003cstrong\u003e500 W AES\u003c\/strong\u003e (LF) and \u003cstrong\u003e80 W AES\u003c\/strong\u003e (HF). This separation facilitates the design of a passive crossover or use in bi-amplification (depending on the chosen speaker architecture), providing a clear basis for sizing amplification and protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of channels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRackable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003esound reinforcement accessory\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSpeakers\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e14 inches (35 cm) + 3 inches HF\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAES Power\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e500 W (LF) + 80 W (HF)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e8 Ohms (LF) + 8 Ohms (HF)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e99 dB (LF) -
