CELESTION INTRODUCES HIGH FORCE FACTOR, 8-INCH NEODYMIUM LINE ARRAY DRIVER

12/03/2008

Recognising an opportunity to create a new product optimised for line array applications, Celestion have introduced the NTR08-2009D, a 200Wrms (AES) mid-bass range loudspeaker. With a space efficient octagonal profile, this driver features a neodymium ring magnet that delivers a high force factor. Overall, the NTR08-2009D provides 95dB sensitivity across a frequency response of 70Hz to 3kHz, impressive for a unit of this size.

In addition, the NTR08-2009D features a copper sleeved pole to reduce inductive rise for improved HF performance. An “M-roll” surround provides progressive excursion control, generating a smoother frequency response.

NTR is a range of high-end cast-aluminium chassis neodymium magnet drivers for professional sound reinforcement applications. With 6.5”, 8”, 10” and 12” models currently available, these loudspeakers make extensive use of Celestion’s advanced FEA (finite Element Analysis) modelling techniques to achieve a number of performance advantages. NTR speakers have been designed with “intelligent heat management”, applied to both chassis and magnet assembly, this reduces thermal compression, which contributes to very low distortion.
