The Legatia™ L8 is a 215mm (8.5-inch) subwoofer/midwoofer driver to compliment a dedicated three-way or four-way front stage system design. Like the Legatia™ L6 midbass, the Legatia™ L8 is a cone-type driver consisting of a treated pressed paper diaphragm with low moving mass for fast, transient response. The cone design offers a wide dispersion pattern to make for flexible installation and speaker location. However, because of this driver’s specific design function as a subwoofer and midwoofer in expanded three- and four-way designs, its bandwidth was purposely left more limited than that of its smaller siblings. However, some may endeavor to incorporate the L8 into a strict two-way design with a large-format tweeter placed close to the same location as the L8, or used in concert with the wide-bandwidth L4 midrange.

Like other Legatia™ midrange and midbass designs, you will find no composite or metal cone materials used on the L8. The purpose for this design philosophy is to ensure a light moving mass cone, and optimized Qms for door, floor-board, and kick panel mounting, to ensure subbass extension without the need for a sealed enclosure. The light cone further helps to make the L8 a transiently “fast” driver which accurately reproduces complex musical passages with ease.
