For system designers seeking a premium compression driver capable of delivering consistent professional performance, the B&C DE95TN is an outstanding solution.
Powerful 75 mm Voice Coil for Exceptional Thermal Stability
At the heart of the B&C DE95TN is a large 75 mm (3-inch) aluminium voice coil.
The voice coil plays a crucial role in determining the driver’s overall performance characteristics, including power handling, thermal stability, dynamic capability, and long-term reliability.
The large-diameter voice coil offers several significant benefits:
Improved Heat Dissipation
Greater surface area allows heat to be distributed and dissipated more efficiently.
Higher Power Handling
The driver can comfortably manage demanding programme material without performance degradation.
Reduced Thermal Compression
Output levels remain more consistent during prolonged operation.
Enhanced Reliability
The voice coil is better equipped to withstand continuous professional use.
Increased Dynamic Headroom
The driver can reproduce demanding musical peaks with greater authority.
The DE95TN achieves:
- 110 W nominal power handling
- 220 W continuous programme power handling
These specifications make it highly suitable for large-scale professional sound reinforcement systems where sustained output and reliability are critical.
High-Energy Neodymium Motor Assembly
The B&C DE95TN incorporates a powerful neodymium magnetic system generating an impressive 1.8 Tesla flux density.
This high-energy motor structure contributes directly to the driver’s efficiency, control, and acoustic performance.
Benefits include:
Superior Efficiency
More acoustic output is generated from available amplifier power.
Improved Diaphragm Control
Greater magnetic force ensures accurate diaphragm movement.
Enhanced Transient Response
Fast programme material is reproduced with excellent precision.
Reduced Distortion
Improved motor control helps minimise unwanted artefacts.
Increased Dynamic Accuracy
The driver responds quickly to changes in programme content.
The result is a compression driver capable of reproducing music and speech with exceptional clarity and consistency even at high sound pressure levels.
Premium Titanium Diaphragm Performance
The B&C DE95TN utilises a precision-engineered titanium diaphragm, a material widely regarded as one of the most effective solutions for professional compression driver applications.
Titanium offers an excellent combination of:
- High rigidity
- Low mass
- Excellent durability
- Strong fatigue resistance
- Outstanding transient response
- Long-term stability
These characteristics allow the diaphragm to maintain accurate motion throughout its operating range while preserving clarity and detail.
The titanium diaphragm contributes significantly to the DE95TN’s ability to reproduce:
- Vocals with exceptional articulation
- Musical transients with precision
- High-frequency detail with accuracy
- Dynamic programme material with authority
This makes the driver particularly well suited for professional touring systems, live performance venues, and premium installation projects.
Wide Frequency Response for Greater Design Flexibility
The B&C DE95TN delivers an exceptionally useful frequency response spanning:
500 Hz – 18 kHz
This broad bandwidth provides loudspeaker designers with increased flexibility when developing professional systems.
Benefits of the extended operating range include:
- Lower crossover capabilities
- Improved system integration
- Enhanced vocal reproduction
- Reduced crossover complexity
- Better directivity control
- Smoother overall frequency response
The ability to reproduce frequencies down to 500 Hz allows the driver to cover a significant portion of the critical vocal range while maintaining the efficiency and projection advantages of a compression driver.
For high-performance loudspeaker systems, this capability can significantly improve overall coherence and intelligibility.
Optimised for Low Crossover Frequencies
The B&C DE95TN features a recommended crossover frequency of:
1 kHz
This relatively low crossover point offers numerous advantages for professional loudspeaker design.
A lower crossover frequency can provide:
- Improved vocal consistency
- Better phase integration
- Enhanced directivity matching
- Smoother system response
- Improved speech intelligibility
In large-format sound reinforcement systems, maintaining consistency through the vocal spectrum is essential.
The DE95TN’s low crossover capability allows it to integrate effectively with larger low-frequency sections while maintaining excellent tonal balance.
Outstanding Sensitivity for Maximum Output
With a sensitivity rating of 107.5 dB, the B&C DE95TN delivers exceptional acoustic efficiency.
High sensitivity offers several important advantages:
Higher Acoustic Output
Greater SPL can be achieved with less amplifier power.
Improved System Efficiency
Amplifiers operate more effectively across the system.
Increased Dynamic Headroom
Additional reserve output is available for demanding programme peaks.
Lower Thermal Stress
The driver requires less power input to achieve target levels.
Enhanced Reliability
Reduced amplifier strain contributes to overall system stability.
This combination of efficiency and power handling makes the DE95TN ideal for professional systems where high output and long-term reliability are priorities.
Low Inductance for Accurate High-Frequency Reproduction
The B&C DE95TN features a low inductance value of:
0.14 mH
Low inductance contributes to:
- Improved transient response
- Better phase behaviour
