CF-350mt
3.5" Mid-Tweeter Speaker System
Overview
Engineered to deliver amazing sound from factory locations, CF speakers are designed with shallow polymer frames and breakaway mounting tabs for maximum compatibility in today's most popular vehicles, including those from Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Dodge, Jeep, RAM, Toyota and many more.
CF drivers benefit from our proprietary FEA modeling and expertise in loudspeaker design. This knowledge is used to create speakers that can play loudly, while maintaining a smooth, dynamic low-distortion sound. At the core of the CF-350mt mid-tweeter is a proprietary 3.5" (90 mm) composite frame and a DMA-optimized motor system. An ultralight, fiber-reinforced pulp cone with a custom "S" roll surround delivers excellent efficiency and extended high-frequency response.
A flat, progressive-roll spider ensures linear compliance, while the neodymium motor packs astonishing energy from an ultracompact and lightweight package. Each speaker's glass-filled, high-temperature polymer frame is outfitted with insert-molded terminals and a low-profile perforated metal grille to easily fit behind factory trim, while providing excellent UV protection in exposed dashboard locations.
For passive applications as midtreble speakers, in-line second order high-pass filters are included to enhance smoothness and improve power handling. CF-350mt speakers can also be used actively as true midrange or mid-tweeter drivers to create outstanding two-way or three-way systems. For active applications, we recommend a high-quality digital signal processor (DSP), such as the JL Audio TwK® DSP or a VXi amplifier with built-in DSP, and the recommended bandwidths below. Speakers are sold as a pair and include built-in grilles.
Design Bandwidth
- With 24 dB/octave filters: 400 Hz-20 kHz
- With 12 dB/octave filters: 500 Hz-20 kHz
DMA Optimized Motor
JL Audio's proprietary Dynamic Motor Analysis system is a powerful suite of FEA-based modeling systems, first developed by JL Audio in 1997 and refined over the years to scientifically address the issue of speaker motor linearity. This leads to vastly reduced distortion and faithfully reproduced transients... or put simply: tight, clean, articulate bass.
Aluminum Dome Tweeter
Compared to similar textile designs, aluminum tweeter diaphragms offer superior stiffness and high-frequency extension, with only a minor penalty in efficiency. JL Audio’s aluminum dome tweeters employ a rubber surround and ferrous fluid in the motor gap to damp the aluminum diaphragm. This additional damping reduces ringing and improves the tweeter’s smoothness of reproduction while still delivering the high-frequency energy and extension that metal domes are known for.
