Press release | Lavoce Italiana, the premium transducer company with a 35 years heritage in designing and manufacturing high-performance HF and LF loudspeaker components, announces the expansion of its common HF/LF magnet coaxial range with the introduction of new neodymium and ferrite 8” and 15” models, including both cone-as-horn and dedicated ABS horn configurations as part of its flagship CAN and CAF Series.
All models are based on Lavoce’s proven common motor coaxial architecture, combining HF and LF sections into a single, FEM-optimized motor structure to deliver compact form factors, controlled directivity, and low distortion, while simplifying system integration for OEM manufacturers and sound system designers.
8” compact coaxials – CAN082.00K and CAF082.00K
CAN082.00K and CAF082.00K are compact 8” coaxial transducers designed for high-performance point-source systems where size, weight, and wide coverage are critical. Both models use the LF cone as the HF waveguide, providing a 100° nominal coverage, and feature a common HF/LF magnet motor structure optimized through FEM analysis.
CAN082.00K employs a neodymium motor, delivering 97 dB sensitivity, while the CAF082.00K uses a ferrite motor and provides 96 dB sensitivity, offering designers flexibility in balancing weight, performance, and cost.
Both models share the same electro-acoustic platform, featuring a 2” LF copper voice coil, a 1.7” edge-wound copper-clad aluminium HF voice coil, and 500 W program power handling.
The HF section uses a polyimide diaphragm combined with a dedicated phase plug and an aluminium demodulating ring, ensuring low distortion and stable HF performance over an extended 70 Hz – 20 kHz frequency range.
15” ABS horn coaxials – CAF153.00TH and CAN153.00TH
For applications requiring higher output and controlled directivity, Lavoce introduces the CAF153.00TH and CAN153.00TH, 15” coaxial transducers featuring a proprietary ABS HF horn designed to deliver 60° × 40° nominal coverage.
Both models are built on a high-power common motor platform with a 3” LF copper voice coil, and a 3” edge-wound copper-clad aluminium HF voice coil, delivering 800 W program power handling and a wide 45 Hz – 18 kHz frequency range. The HF section employs a titanium diaphragm with polyimide surround combined with a patented IIS phase plug and an aluminium demodulating ring, ensuring high output capability with low distortion and excellent in-field consistency.
The CAF153.00TH features a ferrite common motor and provides 98 dB sensitivity, while the CAN153.00TH uses a neodymium motor, increasing sensitivity to 99 dB while maintaining a compact and lightweight design. This dual approach allows system designers to select the optimal solution based on performance targets, weight constraints, and system cost objectives.
A Flexible Coaxial Platform for Modern System Design
With these new 8” and 15” common motor coaxials, Lavoce further strengthens its CAN and CAF Series, offering a scalable range of solutions that combine advanced modelling, FEM-optimized motor design, and patented HF technologies. The result is a family of coaxial transducers engineered to deliver premium acoustic performance, consistent production quality, and strong value across a wide range of professional audio applications.
Kevin Shove, International Sales Director at Lavoce, comments: “These new common motor coaxials reflect the maturity of our design platform and our ability to scale the same core technologies across different sizes, motor types, and directivity options. They offer OEM partners and system designers a versatile toolbox to create compact, high-performance point-source systems with predictable and repeatable results.”
