K-8 Compression Driver 16 Ohm

500Hz-20kHz 250W (>1kHz)

Artnr. 802596

The D.A.S. K-8 is a 2″ diameter exit ceramic magnet high frequency compression driver with 100 mm (4″) diameter voice coil. A pure titanium diaphragm is utilized, avoiding dome fracture due to mechanical fatigue, common in other diaphragm materials. The copper-clad aluminium voice coil is edge-wound and thermal bonded to a Kapton former, which ensures resistance to high temperatures. The 4-slit phase plug has been computer designed for coherent sound pressure summing at the throat. Manufactured out of aluminium, it acts as a heat sink for the voice coil, minimizing power compression and increasing power handling.
