The WG270Ph features a 2″ phenolic diaphragm with copper wire voice coil and 1” exit, rated for 75 Watts continuous power handling and 106.5 dB sensitivity. According to PRV, this new and improved design based on PRV's existing D250Ph-S 1″ compression driver provides extreme clarity in the critical mid or vocal range and offers a very compact driver design for easy front mount installation. An ideal horn and driver combo for mid range and vocal reinforcement, the complementary WG11-25 plastic wave guide is perfect for conditions where space is a concern.
High temperature copper wire is used for the voice coil that is wound on a Kapton former to withstand high operating temperatures. As the manufacturer explains, the nearly indestructible phenolic diaphragm (available as replacement part# RPD270Ph), that can play down to 500 Hz, is built to resist the elements and is perfect for outdoor use. Given the driver's frequency response covering the all-important vocal range, the mid range compression driver and horn can be a great choice for high power mobile event PAs, gymnasiums, etc. PRV also notes that car audio SPL enthusiasts can use this combo for vocal reinforcement on 3 way systems.
The compact driver was designed for easy front mount installation and essentially derives from the existing D250Ph-S as the company detected there was a market requirement for a more compact driver. The small diameter of the driver makes it easy to install from the front, without detaching the driver from the horn.
