COM-10975

Speakers Overview

The SparkFun COM-10975 is a surface transducer designed to convert electrical signals into mechanical vibrations, allowing various surfaces to act as speakers. It features a 4-ohm impedance and a maximum power handling of 6 watts. The device operates within a frequency range of 530 Hz to 20 kHz and produces a sound pressure level of 101 dB. Physically, it measures 50 mm in diameter with a seated height of 31 mm and weighs approximately 260 grams.

Speakers Feature Summary

• Converts rigid surfaces into acoustic radiators through direct mechanical coupling
• High output capability with 101 dB sensitivity for clear audio projection
• Robust construction suitable for mounting on diverse material types

Speakers Applications

• DIY musical instruments and interactive art installations
• Educational demonstrations of sound wave propagation
• Custom enclosure audio integration for non-traditional speaker boxes

Speakers Procurement Notes

Verify the current product status before procurement, as this component may be listed as obsolete in certain distributor catalogs. Confirm that the 4-ohm impedance matches your amplifier or driver circuit capabilities. Ensure the physical dimensions fit your intended application surface. Check for updated documentation regarding mounting requirements and thermal management for continuous operation.

Speakers Selection Notes

Select this transducer when standard cone speakers are unsuitable due to space constraints or aesthetic requirements. It is ideal for projects requiring vibration-based audio output on large panels. Consider the weight and mounting method, as the unit requires secure attachment to function effectively. Evaluate the power supply to ensure it can deliver sufficient current for the 4-ohm load without distortion.
