Beyma 6P200Nd: 6" neodymium mid-woofer with 200 W AES, 92 dB and 1.9 kg
The Beyma 6P200Nd is the lightweight version of the 6" mid-woofer from the P series: neodymium magnet, 1.9 kg, 86 mm mounting depth. Electrically it keeps the 2" voice coil with 200 W AES, 8 Ω nominal impedance and 92 dB sensitivity, acoustically the transmission range of 60 Hz to 9000 Hz. It is intended for tops, monitors and line-array modules where the weight of the ferrite model gets in the way.
The Thiele-Small parameters show a driver with Fs 56 Hz, Qts 0.29, Qes 0.32 and Vas 11.9 l. Motor BL 10.5 Tm on 17 g of moving mass, Qms 3.7 indicating a well damped suspension. With Xmax 5.5 mm the displacement is 74.2 cm³. The EBP of 175 says: vented box for the lower midband, midrange chamber for 3-way use, not a candidate for sealed bass cabinets.
Use and enclosure
The vented guideline comes out at 5.1 l with fb 72 Hz and f3 around 82 Hz. That is a little more volume and a little more extension than the ferrite model, which makes the 6P200Nd interesting for compact 2-way tops with subwoofer support. For midrange duty in a 3-way system a sealed chamber of about 2.4 l with fc around 137 Hz is the starting point, with the lower crossover set well above 60 Hz. The upper crossover sits below 9000 Hz, sensibly where a compression driver on a horn radiates about as widely as the 6" cone. Suitable Beyma horns and waveguides are found in that category at 42.audio.
The inductance of 0.6 mH is a little higher than on the ferrite model but still low enough for a straightforward passive crossover. With Re 5.3 Ω and 200 W AES a mid-power amplifier is sufficient; a limiter makes sense with neodymium motors because the magnet material is more sensitive to heat than ferrite.
What to look out for
- Neodymium magnet: 1.9 kg and 86 mm mounting depth for light tops and arrays.
- Xmax 5.5 mm and Vd 74.2 cm³: slightly more excursion than the ferrite model.
- Qms 3.7: damped suspension, uncritical behaviour around Fs 56 Hz.
- Le 0.6 mH: easy to handle passively, irrelevant in active setups.
- Neodymium and 2" coil: fit a limiter, heat is the enemy of the magnet.
Frequently asked questions
When is the 6P200Nd worth it over the 6P200Fe?
When weight counts: 1.9 kg versus the ferrite model. Parametrically the 6P200Nd sits slightly softer and lower with Fs 56 Hz, Qts 0.29 and Vas 11.9 l than the 6P200Fe with Fs 58 Hz, Qts 0.26 and Vas 11.1 l; the ferrite model is a touch higher in sensitivity in return.
Which volume for a small stage monitor?
Vented around 5.1 l with fb 72 Hz as a guideline, f3 then around 82 Hz. That is enough for monitoring vocals and instruments; the range below is better left to a subwoofer. Run the box through the enclosure calculator at 42.audio.
How does the 6P200Nd compare with the SB Audience ROSSO-6MW150D?
The ROSSO-6MW150D has a higher resonance and a smaller equivalent volume with Fs 66 Hz, Qts 0.32 and Vas 8.8 l. The 6P200Nd starts lower with Fs 56 Hz and Vas 11.9 l and offers a little more lower midband in a matching vented box.

Enclosure suggestion
The EBP of 175 suggests a bass-reflex enclosure. EBP = fs / Qes = 56 / 0.32
Sealed (Qtc 0.707)
- Enclosure volume Vb
- 2.4 l
- System resonance Fc
- 137 Hz
- Cut-off frequency F3
- 137 Hz
Bass reflex (QB3 after Small)recommended
- Enclosure volume Vb
- 4.0 l
- Tuning frequency Fb
- 78 Hz
- Cut-off frequency F3
- 90 Hz
Vb is the required net internal volume, Fb the tuning frequency of the reflex port and F3 the frequency at which the level has dropped by 3 dB. Calculated approximation after Small. A starting point for simulation, not a finished build plan.
