Towering over the competition at over 6 feet tall, the aptly named World‘s Biggest Speaker from German manufacturer Alex-Audio represents a monumental feat of audio engineering. As a digital technology expert with a fascination for cutting-edge acoustic systems, unpacking the capabilities of this behemoth speaker presents an irresistible challenge.
Technical Specifications – Bigger Means Better
Let‘s start by examining the vital statistics that make the Alex-Audio speaker deserving of its titanic title. At the core lies an imposing 80-inch woofer constructed from rigid carbon fiber layers.
Woofers specialized in reproducing low bass frequencies benefit enormously from large cone areas that can push a higher volume of air. Doubling a woofer‘s surface area actually increases its maximum low frequency output by a full 6 decibels. With nearly triple the surface area of a compact 20-inch subwoofer driver, the Alex-Audio speaker‘s 80-inch giant provides a staggering 18 dB bass boost before even factoring in the specialized enclosure design!
Assisting the mammoth woofer is a precision-engineered neodymium magnet assembly weighing over 20 pounds! Top shelf neodymium magnets focus and intensify the magnetic field interacting with the voice coil to achieve greater cone excursion, enhancing bass precision and ‘punchiness‘ on demanding material like heavy EDM tracks.
Rounding out the speaker‘s world-class specifications is professional speakON wiring terminals capable of delivering every last watt from cutting edge Class D amplifiers up to the bleeding 5000+ watt power plateau. The speaker‘s combination of high 98dB sensitivity and 8 ohm nominal impedance presents an easy load that ties seamlessly into live sound reinforcement rigs.
Unmatched Frequency Range Hits the Lowest Lows
In numbers, the fruits of exceptional engineering labor show clearly – the World‘s Biggest Speaker touts a mammoth frequency response spanning from 28 Hz down to 2500 Hz. Compare that range against rivals like JBL‘s heavyweight SRX828SP dual 18-inch subwoofer topping out at 46 Hz on the low end. Alex Audio‘s flagship offering extends a full octave lower for bowel-rumbling bass textures that acclaimed producers like Skrillex and Deadmau5 covet.
On the opposite end, intricate midrange tones up to 2500 Hz foreground vocals or guitar melodies in the mix – no need to couple the beastly speaker with midrange drivers unless targeting large concert deployments. Given appropriate power and positioning, this battleship covers the complete spectrum from basement shaking sub-bass to soaring highs with crystal clarity.
