Why this driver

Complete: driver plus horn

It arrives with its horn already on. Nothing else to source: wire the crossover, mount it, aim it.

44.4 mm / 1.75" voice coil, CCAW wire

The coil measures 44.4 mm / 1.75" and is wound in CCAW (aluminium). That is the part that turns 200 W RMS into pressure and then has to survive it.

500 Hz – 17 kHz

A wide rated band: low enough to cross from the midrange early, high enough to keep the top end open.

103 dB, 15 oz magnet

103 dB sensitivity on a 15 oz magnet assembly, with a 25 mm (1") throat feeding the horn.

“Continuous RMS only. No peak, no burst, no marketing watts.”

Before you install it

  • It always needs a crossover. Never full range. A compression driver wired straight to the amplifier does not survive. Use a crossover, or at the very least a capacitor in series.
  • Do not cross below 500 Hz. 500 Hz is the lowest frequency this driver is rated for. Going under it, at any power, is the fastest way to tear the diaphragm.
  • Do not go below 4 ohm per channel. 4 ohm is the minimum load. Two drivers in parallel on one channel give 2 ohm: most amplifiers will heat up or go into protection.
  • Aim the horn, then bring the gain up slowly. Point it at the listener and raise the level step by step. Clipping kills compression drivers far more often than power does.
