B&C Speakers DE550 Compression Driver, 8 Ω, 25 W

The B&C Speakers Compression Driver DE550-8 is not just another loudspeaker driver, but a cornerstone of professional sound reinforcement: a precision-engineered diaphragm and compact phase plug ensure the signal reaches the audience with high efficiency and low distortion, delivering clean, articulate midrange and high frequencies even across large concert venues. As a compression driver, it achieves its true potential almost exclusively when paired with a properly matched horn or waveguide – nominal impedance of 8 Ω, power rating of 25 W. It is equally at home in horn-loaded PA cabinets, line array systems, and professional installations where predictable dispersion and high acoustic efficiency are essential. Before purchasing, verify the mounting thread or flange size (e.g. 1", 1.4", 2") against your planned horn or waveguide, as mismatched throat dimensions or bolt patterns will prevent proper assembly. When fastening, adhere to recommended torque specifications – overtightened bolts can warp the diaphragm assembly ring, while loose mounting causes buzzing and resonances at high sound pressure levels. B&C Speakers products are backed by disciplined engineering and trusted by audio professionals worldwide.
