9020

Overview

The Visaton 9020 is a 10 cm (4-inch) full-range electromagnetic loudspeaker driver designed for panel mounting. It features an 8-ohm nominal impedance and a rated power handling capacity of 40 watts, with a maximum output capability of 100 watts. The unit delivers a sound pressure level of 92 dBA and operates within a frequency range extending down to 38 Hz up to 18,000 Hz. Physical dimensions include a diameter of 205 mm and a depth of 82 mm, utilizing solder lug terminals for electrical connection.

Feature Summary

• Full-range electromagnetic transducer design suitable for direct audio reproduction
• Robust construction with elastic rubber surround for extended excursion
• Panel mount installation style with solder lug termination

Applications

• Hi-Fi low-midrange driver integration
• MP3 and iPod speaker systems
• General purpose audio reproduction

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturing batch or revision when sourcing, as historical data indicates variations in impedance ratings (4 ohms vs 8 ohms) and power handling across different distributor listings. Confirm the terminal type and physical mounting hole pattern against your enclosure design prior to purchase to ensure mechanical compatibility.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 4-inch full-range solution is required for mid-bass reproduction. Ensure the amplifier output matches the 8-ohm load and 40-watt continuous rating. Consider the 205 mm diameter for enclosure cutout requirements and verify that the 82 mm depth fits within the available chassis space.

Part Context

Visaton specializes in acoustic components with extensive experience in speaker technique. The 9020 model represents their entry-level full-range drivers, often utilized in small enclosures where a single driver covers the audible spectrum. It serves as a cost-effective alternative to multi-way systems for simple audio applications.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Users must verify dimensional and electrical compatibility manually if substituting with other 4-inch full-range drivers.
