Engine and Compression

The B&C DE980TN 16 Ohm is a compression driver designed to deliver stable, nuanced sound reproduction.

ARTICLE N° 111433
The DE980TN 16 Ohm from B&C Speakers is a top-of-the-range compression driver designed for professional applications where every detail counts. Its 75 mm aluminium voice coil combined with a titanium diaphragm ensures clear, faithful reproduction across the entire bandwidth, from 500 Hz to 18 kHz. Its design ensures balanced reproduction, perfectly suited to both long-range broadcast systems and modern line arrays.

With a continuous power handling capacity of 110 W (and 220 W in programme), this motor stands out for its ability to handle high levels without faltering. Its sensitivity of 108.5 dB guarantees efficient performance, enabling you to achieve substantial volume while limiting the load on your amplifiers. For both service providers and permanent installers, this power/efficiency ratio is a guarantee of reliability.

Its neodymium magnet optimises magnetic flux density (2.05 T), reducing weight while maintaining precise control of the diaphragm. At just 2.3 kg, the DE980TN is the preferred choice for mobile configurations and loudspeakers where light weight is a priority without compromising sound performance.

The revamped diaphragm design, combined with optimised dome and suspension geometry, limits distortion and reduces distortion, especially at high frequencies above 10 kHz. This attention to detail ensures crystal-clear projection and improved sonic coherence, even in demanding environments.

Its 1.4-inch throat and standardised mounting allow easy integration with a wide choice of horns. This versatility makes it a powerful, reliable and flexible driver for professionals looking for a durable, high-performance solution for their sound systems.
