Introduction

Desktop speakers, home theater soundbars, and outdoor trolley speakers demand strong bass performance. The 50mm external magnet speaker, with its larger magnetic circuit, higher power handling, and powerful low-frequency output, has become the preferred driver for these applications.

XDEC (Shenzhen Xuanda Electronics Co., Ltd.) offers 384 models of external magnet speakers, with 50mm variants covering the full 8-15W power range and customizable impedance options.


What Is an External Magnet Speaker?

External magnet speakers place the magnet outside the voice coil, providing a larger magnetic circuit area and stronger driving force. Compared to internal magnet designs, external magnet speakers deliver deeper bass and higher power handling capacity.

Key Advantages

Advantage Description
High Power Rated 8-15W, peak up to 20W+
Deep Bass Stronger magnetic driving force
Better Heat Dissipation External magnet has larger surface area
Cost-Effective More affordable than equivalent internal magnet

Key Specifications

Parameter Recommended Range Notes
Impedance 4Ω / 8Ω 4Ω for BT/digital amp; 8Ω for traditional HiFi
Rated Power 8W - 15W 8W for desktop/bookshelf; 15W for outdoor
Sensitivity 85 - 92 dB Higher = more efficient, aim for 88dB+
F₀ 80 - 150 Hz Lower F₀ = better bass
Frequency Response 80Hz - 10kHz Bass depends on F₀ and enclosure
