Description
Discover the Ciare CME-200, a premium 8-inch midbass driver engineered for clarity, punch, and professional-grade performance. With its high sensitivity of 99.5 dB and substantial power handling (260W program), the CME-200 bridges the gap between deep bass and articulate midrange — making it an excellent choice for 2-way, 3-way, or high-fidelity PA systems.
This driver delivers a smooth, dynamic sound response from 70 Hz up to 8 kHz, granting both authoritative lows and transparent mids. The cellulose fiber cone ensures a natural, non-fatiguing tone, while the carefully engineered surround and suspension maintain control and minimize distortion even at higher excursions.
Built for longevity and precision, the CME-200 features a 1.5″ (38 mm) aluminum voice coil on a Kapton former, a robust ferrite motor system, and a rigid steel basket. With full set of Thiele–Small parameters available, this driver offers predictability and ease in system modeling and enclosure design.
Whether you're building pro audio cabinets, studio monitors, or custom high-end speakers, the CME-200 offers an outstanding combination of efficiency, reliability, and musical authority.
