The OWS-082030TA-8 is a super linear micro speaker designed for ultra-compact devices such as smart glasses and other slim portable audio products, delivering rich, full-range sound with notable bass—even in devices with little or no rear air volume. Its extremely low resonance frequency (F0 ≈ 250 Hz) is achieved through an ultra-high compliance diaphragm suspension combined with a specially designed spider that ensures purely vertical coil movement, eliminating horizontal distortions and keeping low-frequency performance linear.

Unlike conventional micro speakers, the OWS-082030TA-8 requires a Smart Amp or similar advanced source to control signal levels across different frequencies, preventing excessive diaphragm movement and distortion at low frequencies. In comparisons with conventional speakers of similar size, such as the OWS-111525, the OWS-082030TA-8 maintains superior low-frequency output while keeping total harmonic distortion low, offering a clear and powerful sound in a compact form factor.

This micro speaker fills a gap in Ole Wolff’s portfolio by enabling high-quality audio performance in devices where space constraints previously limited sound quality, making it an ideal choice for near-ear applications and other portable audio solutions.
