Compact Compression Driver Design
The B&C DE110 has been engineered specifically for applications requiring professional high-frequency performance from an extremely compact package. Featuring a 25 mm (1 inch) throat diameter, the driver integrates easily with a wide range of compact horns and waveguides used in professional loudspeaker systems.
Its compact dimensions make the driver particularly attractive for portable loudspeakers, compact stage monitors, installation products, and space-constrained sound reinforcement designs.
Despite its reduced size, the driver delivers impressive acoustic performance with 106 dB sensitivity, allowing strong output levels while minimizing amplifier power requirements.
The compression driver architecture promotes efficient acoustic loading, helping maintain consistent response and reliable high-frequency reproduction.
High-Energy Magnetic Structure
A defining feature of the B&C DE110 is its powerful magnetic assembly, engineered to maximize efficiency and diaphragm control.
The motor structure generates an impressive 1.8 Tesla magnetic flux density, providing strong control over diaphragm movement and contributing significantly to the driver’s sensitivity and transient performance.
The high magnetic field strength helps maintain accurate reproduction of complex high-frequency content while reducing distortion under demanding operating conditions.
Combined with the lightweight moving assembly, the magnetic system contributes to improved efficiency, strong output capability, and consistent long-term performance.
This optimized magnetic structure allows the B&C DE110 to deliver professional-grade performance while maintaining its compact physical footprint.
Advanced HT Polymer Diaphragm Technology
The B&C DE110 features an advanced HT Polymer diaphragm, designed to provide excellent reliability, thermal stability, and smooth frequency response characteristics.
HT Polymer diaphragm technology offers a balance between lightweight construction and mechanical durability, enabling the diaphragm to maintain stable operation during extended professional use.
The diaphragm assembly contributes to smooth high-frequency reproduction while supporting excellent vocal articulation and speech intelligibility.
Its lightweight characteristics help the driver reproduce upper frequencies efficiently while maintaining controlled transient behaviour.
The diaphragm construction also supports long-term reliability in portable and installed sound applications where continuous operation may be required.
Large Diameter Voice Coil Assembly
The B&C DE110 incorporates a 36 mm (1.4 inch) aluminium voice coil optimized for thermal stability and efficient operation.
The aluminium winding material reduces moving mass, improving transient response and allowing the diaphragm assembly to react quickly to incoming signals. This contributes to cleaner sound reproduction and improved detail retrieval.
The voice coil design supports 25 W nominal power handling and 50 W continuous power handling, providing sufficient capability for numerous compact professional loudspeaker applications.
The driver also features low inductance at 0.14 mH, helping preserve upper-frequency extension while maintaining smooth response characteristics throughout the operating range.
The combination of lightweight materials and efficient thermal performance contributes to the overall reliability of the driver.
Extended High Frequency Performance
The B&C DE110 provides an operating bandwidth extending from 2 kHz to 18 kHz, covering the frequency range necessary for clear speech reproduction and detailed musical performance.
Its frequency response supports accurate reproduction of vocal harmonics, instrument detail, and critical speech information, helping improve overall system intelligibility.
B&C recommends a crossover frequency of 2 kHz, allowing the driver to integrate effectively with compatible low-frequency transducers while maintaining reliable operation.
The combination of wide bandwidth and strong sensitivity allows the B&C DE110 to perform effectively across a broad range of sound reinforcement applications.
Professional System Integration
The compact dimensions and lightweight construction of the B&C DE110 make it suitable for numerous professional loudspeaker designs.
Typical applications include:
- Compact two-way loudspeakers
- Portable PA systems
- Column loudspeaker systems
- Installed sound systems
- Stage monitoring systems
