B&C Speakers - DE820TN 16 Ohm Driver

The DE820TN 16 Ohm doesn't try to impress with artificial aggressiveness. Its design favours fluidity: even when the level is pushed up, the treble retains a finesse that avoids auditory fatigue. It's the kind of component you install in a system and forget about, because it's simply doing its job: delivering clean, balanced high frequencies.

Weighing in at just 2.4 kg, this motor is aimed at builders and sound engineers who want to lighten their cabinets. Neodymium, which is more compact than ferrite, enables a powerful magnetic field to be maintained despite its reduced size. The result is a motor that's easy to transport, reduces physical fatigue for technical teams and remains powerful enough to handle large configurations.

With its 109dB sensitivity, the DE820TN effectively transforms every watt into sound pressure. The result is a sound that fills the space without having to oversize the amplification. Coupled with 110W of continuous power, it can cope with long sessions without any loss of performance. It's this combination of performance and endurance that makes it a popular choice for line arrays or touring loudspeakers.

The frequency response extends from 500 Hz to 18 kHz, giving a full and accurate reproduction. Vocals come through naturally, and the details of instruments such as cymbals and keyboards are brought out without harshness. This engine doesn't crush nuances, it highlights them. This is an obvious advantage for applications where the clarity of the sound message is paramount: live concerts, conferences, shows.

The titanium diaphragm, supported by a 3-inch aluminium coil, ensures great robustness over time. The 4-point mounting system provides fast, solid fixing. Its compact size (124 mm diameter, 55 mm depth) makes it easy to integrate into a wide range of loudspeakers. Whether new or replacement, the DE820TN is easy to install and inspires confidence for intensive use.
