B&C Speakers has now released that series of 13.5” woofers and coax products aimed at finding a new balance in the industry. “For years we have all been stuck with either 12” or 15” options when designing speaker enclosures,” says Ron Tizzard, Director of Sales for B&C Speakers. “The new 13.5” range offers designers new options, when they need just a little more output, or just a little smaller enclosure.”
The new range is available in a variety of standard models, including 76-mm or 88-mm voice coils woofers, and a 76-mm voice coil coax that shares the same motor as B&C Speakers’s successful CXN series coax range. The 14CXN76 coax is just one of the new 13.5” models that will be shipping from B&C Speakers. Using a neodymium magnet assembly, the 14CXN76 features 800-W continuous program power capacity with 80° nominal coverage and a 45 to 18,000 Hz frequency response with 100 dB sensitivity.
The woofers include the 14” 14NDL76 and 14NDL88 models.
The 14NDL76 features a 1000-W continuous program power capacity with a frequency response from 40 to 3,000 Hz and 99 dB sensitivity. It uses a 76 mm (3”) copper voice coil and a light yet powerful motor assembly with an aluminum demodulating ring allowing for a low distortion figure.
The 14NDL88 woofer features a 1400-W continuous program power capacity also responding from 45 to 30 kHz and 99 dB sensitivity. It uses a 88 mm (3.5”) aluminum voice coil also with an aluminum demodulating ring.
Other new products
Other new additions to B&C Speakers high-frequency range include the compact new DE110. This high-performance, small diameter driver features a 36-mm diaphragm, and should be perfect for application in compact, multi-driver waveguide applications. Also new are the DE550 (1” exit) and DE554 (1.4” exit). These new 50-mm diaphragm high frequency drivers offer excellent value and performance as large diaphragm 1” exit, or small diaphragm 1.4” exit alternatives.
The new B&C Speakers DE880TN is a compact, neodymium high-frequency driver, featuring a robust titanium diaphragm that incorporates next generation surround geometry, and a brand new, optimized phase plug. Significant research has yielded a new coil former that solidifies the diaphragm with negligible increase in mass. The result is significantly improved high frequency linearity and reduced distortion. B&C Speakers recommends it as an exit solution for two-way point source enclosures, or for use on a waveguide, for multi-driver line array systems.
Another new B&C Speakers product was the 8NDL64 8“ woofer, incorporating a 2.5” copper voice coil, featuring a robust 350-W nominal power rating, which is 70% more than B&C Speakers’s typical 2” voice coil woofers. The double roll surround design also uses a shorting copper cap for extended high-frequency performance and a ventilated voice coil gap for reduced power compression. With low distortion, a well-behaved frequency response from 80 to 4,000 Hz, and very respectable 97 dB sensitivity, the neodymium magnet 8NDL64 is a versatile addition to the B&C Speakers line for point source and line array applications.
