FRWS 5 - 8 OHM

Speakers Overview

The Visaton FRWS 5 - 8 OHM is a 5 cm (2-inch) full-range loudspeaker with an 8-ohm impedance and 4-watt rated power. It features a frequency response range of 150 Hz to 20 kHz, with a self-resonant frequency of 250 Hz. The unit delivers an efficiency of 84 dBA and utilizes a soft surround with a special lightweight cone for balanced reproduction above 250 Hz.

Speakers Feature Summary

• Full-range design with balanced frequency response above 250 Hz
• Soft surround construction with special lightweight cone
• Moisture-resistant diaphragm for durability

Speakers Applications

• Compact audio systems requiring limited space
• General purpose sound reproduction
• DIY speaker projects

Speakers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific basket shape required for your application, as Visaton offers both square (FRWS 5) and round (FRWS 5 R) frame variants with identical electrical specifications. Confirm that the 4W rated power aligns with your system's amplifier output capabilities to ensure safe operation within the component's thermal limits.

Speakers Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact 2-inch driver is needed for wide dispersion and balanced mid-to-high frequency performance. Consider the FRWS 5 R variant if a round mounting frame is preferred over the standard square basket. Ensure the 8-ohm impedance matches your amplifier's output requirements for optimal power transfer.

Speakers Part Context

This component belongs to Visaton's FRWS series of general-purpose full-range speakers. It is designed for applications where space constraints limit the use of larger drivers while still requiring adequate audio fidelity across a broad spectrum.

Speakers Replacement Considerations

The FRWS 5 R serves as a direct alternative with a round basket instead of the square frame. No other exact substitutes are publicly confirmed; verify compatibility based on mounting dimensions and electrical parameters.
