BRAX MATRIX ML3 80 mm High-End Cone Midrange Driver

The new BRAX MATRIX ML3 cone midrange drivers are a masterpiece in themselves - handcrafted in Germany with the latest technology and the highest quality materials. However, they bring their perfection to bear as part of a high-quality, fully actively operated sound system. Here they convince with the extraordinary sound and level capabilities that one would expect from a product from the reference brand BRAX.

The design signals high quality, the exquisite components "Made in Germany" guarantee the best functionality and pure, unadulterated music reproduction. The aerodynamically shaped die-cast aluminum basket ensures optimal voice coil ventilation, an extremely low-reflection rubber surround ensures an incomparably balanced frequency response in the upper transmission range.

The extraordinarily stiff and very light paper cone with the new "MicroSphere" coating makes a further contribution. With this patented technology, hollow ceramic microspheres with a diameter of just 75 µm are embedded in a polymer layer and applied to the membrane. This special coating not only increases the rigidity of the cone, but also its internal damping. Instead of weighing it down, this unique stabilization ensures lightness, a lower overall quality and outstanding precision in sound reproduction.

In order to meet our high quality standards, the loudspeakers are hand-selected for a perfect sound interaction and only put together in pairs based on their acoustic parameters and recorded with a serial number in a service database. The packaging in an elegant wooden box completes the whole thing and once again underlines the high-end philosophy of the BRAX brand. A stainless steel mounting ring set including grid (MR3) is available as an option. Depending on the installation position, the solid stainless steel ring can be used as a mounting ring or to hold the grille.
