The Legatia L3 is a very unique driver, satisfying the need in the high-end car audio community for a high-end, small diameter, wide-bandwidth midrange driver that can be mounted virtually anywhere in the mobile environment.  The L3 has won numerous national- and world-championships in its short tenure on the market, and has already established itself as the best small-diameter midrange on the planet.  And with the size of the L3, you can now put high-quality midrange ANYWHERE in your car! The Legatia L3 has an outstanding extended frequency response; the usable frequency range of this driver exceeds six full octaves. With proper filtering, installation techniques, and tuning, this driver will effectively reproduce music tones from as low as 140 Hz to as high as 10,000 Hz at comfortable listening levels. Literally all that is needed to compliment this driver is a pair of small diameter soft dome tweeters, such as the Legatia L1V2 or Legatia L1 Pro, and a capable midbass driver, such as the Legatia L6 or Legatia L8, for the ultimate three-way front stage system.

The Legatia L3 is a 74mm (2.91-inch) diameter wide-bandwidth midrange; the cone is an untreated pressed paper with extremely low moving mass that provides for very good, extended linear response and exceptional transient response. The cone design offers a wide dispersion pattern to make for flexible installation and speaker location, with multiple options for both on- and off-axis use, and the phase linearity of the wide-bandwidth design ensures coherent imaging and staging cues in the car audiophile system. The “p...

The cone design offers a wide dispersion pattern to make for flexible installation and speaker location, with multiple options for both on- and off-axis use, and the phase linearity of the wide-bandwidth design ensures coherent imaging and staging cues in the car audiophile system. The “point source” design ensures stable stereo imaging across the fundamental frequencies which  define image placement and definition.  The paper cone  is critical to tame unwanted cone modes, resonances, and classic "cone breakup" associated with composite and other “hard” cones, but still be rigid enough for upper midbass and lower midrange authority. 

The paper cone is mated with an untreated pressed paper dust cup to ensure desired operation into the upper midrange  and lower/mid treble frequencies. Rounding out the face of the driver is an inverted high-loss rubber surround that, in concert with the spider, provides the compliance needed for this small-format midrange to play upper midbass and lower midrange frequencies. You'll also know a Hybrid Audio midrange and midbass design by its inverted surround; this design feature allows for the use of a smaller height grille, and more flexibility in mounting options.
