Karma AV is facilitating the UK availability of MoFi Electronics’ new SourcePoint 888 three-way speaker. The floorstander includes two 203mm bass drivers alongside the unique concentric unit that featured in the SourcePoint 8 standmount. The driver integrates a twin drive magnet structure, paper pulp cone and concentrically mounted soft dome tweeter, and is the same size as the bass drivers – 203mm or 8in, hence the 888 name.

Positioned beneath the concentric driver on the SP 888’s satin black painted baffle, the additional drivers operate below 130Hz, relieving the concentric unit from the task of producing deep bass while allowing it to be fully optimised for midrange and treble performance. MoFi’s spokesperson explains that: “a three-way crossover blends the drivers using carefully chosen crossover frequencies and slopes to minimise the audibility of out-of-band anomalies and to produce smooth on-axis and off-axis responses.

“The new drivers employ dual opposing neodymium magnets in a configuration that uses a short coil in a long magnetic gap. The magnetic field is entirely uniform throughout the gap, resulting in very linear and precisely controlled cone movement.

In addition, each driver in the SourcePoint 888 operates within individual isolated chambers, the construction of which adds considerable stiffness to the enclosure to further reduce cabinet resonances. Two sets of high-quality binding posts provide for bi-wire and bi-amp connectivity.”

The 888 comes with a Satin Black painted baffle with either Satin White, Satin Black (to special order), Satin Real Wood Walnut or Black Ash veneered cabinets, measures: 320 x 1,070 x 410mm (WxHxD, without grille) and weighs 43kg.
