The IG8s2M features the Generation 2 Metal Diaphragm Technology cone that is lighter and stiffer than the original MDT cone. The result is a broadband 3dB increase in sensitivity and more than 4dB in the midrange - making the IG8s2M easier for amplifiers to drive and better sounding with more "open" midrange and greater vocal presence.
