For 2025, B&C have taken HLX drivers to the next level incorporating compact, made-to-measure heat sinks for each model in the series. The resulting DH350H and DH450H benefit from significant gains in power handling and long term reliability. Cleverly designed heatsinks allow the drivers to be mounted individually in almost any orientation, or in tight groups where multiple drivers are being applied to a single waveguide.
B&C Chief Marketing Officer Ron Tizzard noted, “The HLX Series drivers have caught the attention of some of the worlds best speaker designers. They appreciate the fact that these unique drivers are small, quite cost effective, and natural sounding. The new heat sink enhanced versions are a welcome addition to the family, expanding the range of applications and eliminating the need for expensive, custom heat management solutions.”
The DH350H and DH450H models with heatsinks will be available in the spring of 2025.
B&C Expands CL Series Woofers
B&C Speakers have expanded their successful CL Series woofer range to include the smaller diameter 6CLA51 and 8CLA64. These new woofers feature copper clad aluminium voice coils for improved bandwidth and clarity. All of the cost effective CL Series models incorporate a compact and cost effective motor design that uses an inside coil, neodymium slug magnet, making them perfect for a wide variety of applications, particularly in small format line array.
“System providers prefer smaller line array modules for coverage and application flexibility. Engineers know the smaller the box the more critical the weight and performance,” notes Bennett Prescott, US Sales Director for B&C Speakers. The CLA series brings larger motors with higher power handling to the lightest woofers available from B&C. Optimized for the demanding midrange sensitivity of two-way designs, the CL Series use the same high power coils and durable soft parts tested the world over in its bigger siblings.
