Description
DS18 PRO-ZXI6M 6.5" | 300 Watts RMS | 8Ω | Mid-Range | Ferrite + Neodymium
A 6.5-inch, 8-ohm pro-audio mid-range that combines a rigid aluminum frame with a ferrite-and-neodymium motor structure.
Overview
Built for the application
Rated for 300 watts RMS and 600 watts maximum, the PRO-ZXI6M is built for custom systems that need high output from a compact mid-range platform.
Its 97dB sensitivity and 100Hz-8kHz response prioritize the vocal and instrumental band, with a recommended 160Hz high-pass filter for demanding use.
At a glance
Why it belongs in the system
- 6.5-inch pro-audio mid-range driver for high-output custom systems
- 300W RMS / 600W max power handling at 8 ohms
- Ferrite-plus-neodymium motor combines strong magnetic force with efficient performance

- 97dB sensitivity with 100Hz-8kHz response; sold individually
Design and setup
Strong motor, controlled moving assembly
Ferrite and neodymium work together around a 1.5-inch glass-fiber-former CCAW voice coil. The paper cone, paper dust cap, cloth surround, and aluminum basket support responsive output and structural rigidity.
High power density
Handles 300W RMS from a 6.5-inch frame for compact, high-output system designs.
Efficient response
The 97dB sensitivity rating helps the driver project with less amplifier demand.
Installation dimensions
A 5.9-inch cutout and 2.83-inch mounting depth simplify layout planning.
