McCauley Sound M88

The M88 is a high efficiency, high power handling sub-bass loudspeaker designed for touring sound applications. The M882 features two McCauley 8251 18” cone drivers mounted in a mechanically and acoustically optimized bass reflex enclosure with large vent area to reduce port turbulence. 

The 8251 incorporates McCauley Sound’s latest long excursion neodymium motor with an industry first hybrid paper composite cone. The 8251 motor has an FEA optimized Bl vs. displacement profile to improve linearity and reduce distortion, a large aluminum heat sink, and 4” aluminum voice coil to improve power handling. The new cone body balances high stiffness with the internal damping that is inherent to paper cone loudspeakers, leading to a low distortion punchy sound even at high power levels. 

The M882 enclosure features integrated handles, casters and locking skids on two faces which allow for easy setup, loading and transportation. Optionally, the M88 can be ordered with either 3 pole mount locations and/ or tour grade rigging to create flown arrays in a variety of configurations, both traditional and cardioid.

 

 

The enclosure is constructed of 13-ply void-free birch hardwood plywood and is coated with a weather and wear resistant ProCoat™ polyurea hybrid finish. All rigging components are weather protected with a heat cured epoxy powder coat finish. Components in the front of the enclosure are protected by a flat grill made from perforated steel that is coated with heat cured epoxy powder, and lined with acoustically transparent foam.
