2 : 1.Welcome

Congratulations on your purchase of the Powersoft 

M-Force.

We know you are eager to use M-Force, but please take 

a moment to read this guide, the safety instructions and 

Section: Important notes (p. 10)

 . In case you have any 

questions, please do not hesitate to contact your dealer or 
Powersoft.

M-Force is an innovative and unique transducer based 

on a patented moving magnet linear motor structure.

Unbelievable performance in terms of power handling, 

electromagnetic conversion, reliability and maximum SPL 
are a few of the incredible features and improvements with 
respect to conventional moving coil arrangement.  

The M-Force is a true paradigm shift from the old and 

fashionable coil and cone. Unlike conventional loudspeak-
ers M-Force’s moving magnet motor is a genuine push-pull 
motor where magnetic fields interactions guarantee linearity 
in power requirement versus moving element displacement. 
This, coupled to the the fact that no electical conductors 
are present in the motor’s moving parts, brings forth high 
efficiency of the transducer: the moving magnet linear 
motor ensures high force factor yielding negligible power 
compression and very low input impedance.

With respect to conventional loudspeakers, M-Force 

drives less power from the amplifier to reach high audio per-
formance, high SPL and low distortion; robust and reliable, 
its performance withstand years of abuse and operation.

M-Force has been designed with an eye to the environ-

ment: high power efficiency, high thermal inertia, low usage 
of Neodymium (at equal SPL in comparison to conventional 
design) are distinctive features of the Powersoft’s Green 
Audio philosophy.
