Powersoft unveils MM-Force and Spixel

Powersoft has expanded its audio technology portfolio with two OEM technologies. MM-Force is a balanced, ultra-low-profile moving magnet low-frequency driver available in 8- and 10-inch formats, while Spixel is a compact 2.5-inch high-efficiency full-range driver. Both solutions have been designed to provide OEM partners with access to a complete audio technology ecosystem rather than individual components.

MM-Force combines motor strength with an ultra-shallow physical footprint of under 80mm in depth. This profile fits within installation standards that would ordinarily rule out subwoofer integration. The 8- and 10-inch driver features a dual coil configuration, a square carbon fibre reinforced polymer piston that maximises radiating area within its footprint and a robust design rated for operation in harsh environments and demanding conditions.

The driver’s moving parts are engineered to offset one another dynamically, achieving vibrationless operation at the transducer level. This means that even a single-driver enclosure operates without the mechanical vibration that would ordinarily require additional structural reinforcement or dampening. The combination of moving magnet topology with high motor strength design reportedly delivers significant advantages in power efficiency and material economy compared to conventional moving coil approaches.

Spixel takes the high motor strength philosophy underpinning Powersoft’s IPAL technology, which was originally developed for high-efficiency, low-frequency reproduction, and extends it to the full frequency range in a compact format. The driver achieves a low-frequency limit of 100Hz, an extended bass response, which enables direct coupling with subwoofers at a single, low crossover point and materially simplifies overall system design for loudspeaker manufacturers.

Integrated into the driver is Powersoft’s AnyMATE technology, enabling onboard speaker identification, real-time monitoring and visual diagnostics via an LED indicator coupled with a translucent dustcap. As a result, loudspeaker manufacturers integrating Spixel can reportedly offer their customers an increased level of system intelligence and in-field serviceability compared with conventional transducers. The native AnyMATE/SpeakerMATE integration brings this capability without increasing system complexity.
