Engine and Compression

The WGDE900 16 Ohm and ME142 combine high efficiency, clear high frequencies and wide dispersion, ideal for line array sound systems.

ARTICLE N° 111834
The DE900 motor, in its 16 Ohm version, stands out for its high precision and impressive power reserve. With its 75 mm aluminium voice coil and titanium diaphragm, it covers a wide frequency range, from 500 Hz to 18 kHz. This enables vocals and harmonically rich instruments to be reproduced with finesse, without loss of detail or saturation, even at high volumes.

The 16 Ohm impedance is particularly interesting for installations where several motors are used in parallel. It facilitates load balancing and optimises overall system efficiency. With 80 W AES and 160 W continuous power, this motor easily handles long performances, guaranteeing consistency and stability. Its sensitivity of 109.5 dB translates into excellent efficiency, capable of delivering powerful sound with controlled power consumption.

The neodymium magnet system plays an essential role in its performance. Lighter than ferrite, it reduces overall weight without compromising power. The 2.05 Tesla flux density ensures precise control of the coil, for fast, distortion-free dynamic response. The titanium diaphragm completes the package, providing rigidity and reliability, two qualities that are essential in professional conditions.

The ME142 horn provides a decisive finishing touch. Its 120° horizontal dispersion guarantees wide, even coverage, while its 0.8 kHz cut-off frequency ensures a smooth link with the midrange drivers. Designed in cast aluminium, it combines solidity and mechanical strength, reducing unwanted vibrations and promoting even dispersion throughout the space.

Compact, robust and easy to install, the WGDE900 16 Ohm Driver + ME142 kit is aimed at PA contractors and installers looking for a reliable solution for delivering accurate, powerful and balanced high frequencies in all configurations.
