Test the limits of your imagination and turn any surface into a great sounding speaker system

Surface exciter technology provides a universal, cost-effective alternative to loudspeakers, allowing for sound reproduction virtually anywhere it is desired. Issues such as weather, space constraints, vandalism or visibility can be avoided or minimized with the use of a sound exciter. Dayton Audio Interchangeable Mount exciters may be used in a host of DIY executions to easily add sound to an existing non-audio specific project or create a portable speaker system, the unique mounting system allows you to try out the assortment of exciters offered by Dayton Audio!


Key Specs:

  • Power Handling (RMS): 20 Watts
  • Power Handling (MAX): 40 Watts
  • Impedance: 4 Ω

Aural Excitement

The EX32Q2-8 from Dayton Audio can turn most rigid, flat surfaces into a speaker. Designed specifically for mounting to vertical surfaces, this exciter uses a dual spring spider to better support the large neodymium motor providing improved linearity. With a 2-layer 32 mm voice coil, this exciter can handle up to 40 watts peak for high output even when attached to thicker surfaces. A neodymium magnet is employed to create maximum magnetic flux around the proprietary voice coil for increased sensitivity when compared to similar-sized exciters. In turn, this reduces power requirements and makes it possible to use very small audio amplifiers, without sacrificing total output.


Exclusive Interchangeable Mounting System

With Dayton Audio's exclusive interchangeable mounting system, you can try out many different configurations, placements, and exciters to find the best combination for your project. Each exciter comes with a threaded mounting pad that can be permanently installed anywhere. Installation is easy, simply remove the pad from the exciter assembly, mount the pad to your project with 2 screws or with the 3M Adhesive, and screw the exciter assembly back onto the pad! The non-destructive nature of the interchangeable mount allows you to A/B different exciters or swap non-functional units out in the field without risking damage to your project or exciters.

Easily Test Different Exciters Without Re-Mounting

With an exclusive mounting design, Dayton Audio's Interchangeable Mount Exciters make it easy to swap out and test different exciters. All of Dayton's interchangeable mount exciters take advantage of the same mount to provide an easily swappable configuration. The included mounting hardware fits any of the models in the exciter line which means that you only have to attach one mount to a surface and swap out different exciters to test performance.

Exclusive Mounting Features

  • Compatible with all of Dayton Audio's 25mm exciters
  • Pre-applied 3M™ VHB™ adhesive and 2-Hole mounting for quick, secure installation
