WGDE900 8 Ohm Driver + ME142 from B&C Speakers, motor and horn for powerful, accurate and evenly distributed high frequencies.

ARTICLE N° 111832
The DE900 is a model that focuses on precision and power. Its 3-inch aluminium voice coil, mounted on a titanium support, offers detailed and faithful reproduction of high frequencies. Its bandwidth covers 500 Hz to 18 kHz, enabling it to deliver a wide, rich reproduction, while maintaining a smooth transition with the other loudspeakers in a system. This wide coverage makes the DE900 a suitable choice for the most demanding professional configurations.

With a nominal impedance of 8 Ohm and a sensitivity of 109.5 dB, this driver stands out for its exceptional efficiency. It delivers a high level of sound without the need for massive amplification, while handling up to 80 W AES (160 W continuous). In practice, this means high efficiency and a power reserve that enables it to hold its own in complex sound environments such as concerts, theatres or fixed installations.

The choice of neodymium for the magnet system is an added bonus. More compact and lighter than ferrite, it offers a flux density of 2.05 Tesla, ensuring optimum control of the coil and rapid response to signal variations. Coupled with the titanium diaphragm, it guarantees precise, stable reproduction, even during prolonged use at high volume.

The ME142 horn completes the motor with a 120° horizontal opening. Designed for line-array systems, it ensures even diffusion throughout the listening area, avoiding any loss of clarity off-centre. Its 0.8 kHz crossover frequency ensures a natural connection with the midrange drivers. Made from cast aluminium, it combines robustness with reduced parasitic resonance.

Easy to install and compatible with mounting standards, the WGDE900 8 Ohm Driver + ME142 combines power, efficiency and wide coverage. It's a safe choice for service providers and installers looking for a top-of-the-range driver capable of delivering accurate, consistent high-frequency performance.
