B&C Speakers - DE85 8 Ohm Driver

The B&C DE85 8 Ohm Driver is a top-of-the-range compression driver designed for professional broadcast systems seeking clear, powerful high-frequency reproduction. With its titanium diaphragm, it combines robustness and finesse, offering precise reproduction throughout its operating range. Its 2-inch output allows it to be integrated into a wide range of loudspeakers designed to cover large spaces.

Its 108dB sensitivity is a major advantage for configurations requiring high output. In practice, this means that a large volume of sound can be delivered with less amplification power, optimising the energy efficiency of systems. With a frequency response ranging from 500 Hz to 18 kHz, the DE85 covers treble and midrange requirements perfectly, ensuring smooth transitions with other transducers.

The 75 mm aluminium voice coil ensures efficient thermal management. Capable of withstanding intense loads, it maintains the stability of the motor even during prolonged use. Combined with a magnetic flux of 1.8 Tesla, this design ensures responsive sound attack and faithful reproduction of transients.

Its compact size (170 mm in diameter and just 67 mm deep) and controlled weight of 4.5 kg make it a practical solution for integrators and loudspeaker manufacturers. The standard four-point mounting system with M6 screws makes it easy to install in a wide range of configurations, whether in clusters, line arrays or fixed systems.

This makes the B&C Speakers DE85 8 Ohm a reliable, versatile and durable driver, ideally suited to demanding environments such as live concerts, fixed PA installations and high-power applications requiring high efficiency and reliability.
