B&C DCX464-8 1.4" Neodymium Coaxial Compression Driver 8 Ohm 4-BoltAfter years of work, B&C engineers have developed a family of next generation high frequency devices. The DCX464-8 coaxial compression driver combines a midrange and high frequency driver into a single package that gives you extremely wide bandwidth and perfect time alignment. Compression drivers are the linchpin of a PA system: operating at wavelengths too small to readily couple with other drivers, they alone have to fight distance and atmospheric losses to deliver concert even and consistent sound pressure levels to ever larger audiences. The DCX464-8 avoids most of the issues with short wavelengths while still delivering the high output and low distortion that B&C drivers are known for.
The DCX464-8 has been designed from scratch to advance the state of the art. The DCX464’s midrange diaphragm covers 300Hz - 5.5kHz with 111.1 dB sensitivity, and its 100mm voice coil handles 110 watts RMS. The 64mm coil high frequency diaphragm covers 3 - 18kHz with 111.4 dB sensitivity and handles 80 watts RMS. With that extreme efficiency and power handling you can be sure that the DCX464 has the output capability to keep up with any woofer design. A patent pending midrange integrator allows both diaphragms to work in harmony over a wide bandwidth for greater combined output and crossover flexibility. All this energy arrives at a 1.4” throat, from the most compact package that can be designed today.
Brand new materials and thousands of hours of modelling and testing result in lower distortion at higher SPL than has ever been possible before. Consider the new DCX464 for your next design, and enjoy a new standard in fidelity, with the reliability and consistency you expect from B&C.
