AudioControl EPICPRO69CX — 6x9" EPIC PRO Coaxial Speakers, 200W RMS, 4Ω (pair)

The EPICPRO69CX is a 6x9" coaxial speaker from AudioControl's EPIC PRO series, which AudioControl describes as "proaxial": a high-efficiency midrange driver with a compact bullet tweeter and horn mounted at its center. Rated at 200W RMS / 300W max into 4Ω with 97.6 dB sensitivity (2.83V/1m), it is built for output first, with a frequency response of 100Hz – 20kHz.

Key Design Features

The midrange uses a stiff paper cone on a double-roll cloth surround, the suspension style common to pro-audio drivers, mounted in a high-tensile stamped-steel basket. A copper shorting ring in the motor reduces distortion and widens bandwidth toward the tweeter's range. The tweeter uses a titanium diaphragm behind a precision horn for high-frequency output at volume.

Mounting hardware and removable grilles are included, and the speakers are sold as a pair.

System Application

With a low-frequency limit of 100Hz, the EPICPRO69CX is designed to be high-passed and paired with a subwoofer rather than run full range. AudioControl voices the EPIC PRO series to work with EPIC Series amplifiers; at 200W RMS per speaker, the EPICBIGFOUR (350W x 4 at 2Ω, 200W x 4 at 4Ω) is a direct power match at 4Ω.

Installation Considerations

Mounting depth is 2.94 in / 74.8 mm, total depth 3.73 in / 94.9 mm. Confirm both against the door or rear-deck location before ordering, including clearance for the 30 oz magnet and window travel in door locations.

Specifications

HF Audio Labs Perspective

The EPICPRO69CX is intended for high-output systems where midrange and treble have to keep up with a strong subwoofer. The deciding factors are available mounting depth and an amplifier channel with a high-pass filter set at or above 100Hz.
