Micro Precision 5.16 Mk II 6.5″ Midbass – Single

       The Micro Precision 5.16 MkII 6.5″ midbass driver was designed from the ground up to solve the real challenges installers face when working in factory door locations. Originally released in 1999 as the first-ever Micro Precision product, the 5.16 was engineered for wide-range performance, easy integration, and repeatable, reliable results. Its lightweight glass fiber membrane offers excellent stiffness to mass ratio, allowing for fast, detailed response across a wide frequency range with minimal distortion or breakup.

       Designed to couple easily with a wide variety of tweeters, the 5.16 MkII delivers smooth, natural midrange and midbass performance from a standard door install with minimal tuning required. A magnesium basket provides structural rigidity and maximum venting, while a copper-enhanced vented magnet assembly reduces motor distortion and heat buildup. The carefully balanced motor and suspension system ensures clean response from 50 to 5,000 Hz with a natural tonal character that’s easy to integrate.

       The MkII version adds a newly designed membrane geometry, CNC machined magnet structure, low loss surround, and updated spider design with improved compliance and linearity. With a total moving mass of just 10 grams, the 5.16 MkII reacts quickly and accurately to dynamic input, making it a strong choice for both two-way and three-way systems. A series of refinements over the years, including updates in 2017, 2021, and 2022, have ensured it remains one of the most trusted and effective midbass drivers on the market for practical, high-performance installs.

       Whether you’re building a clean, OEM location focused system or looking for a reliable driver that just works without compromise, the 5.16 MkII is a proven performer that continues to deliver.
