Radian 850PB-8 2” exit HF driver
This high-frequency driver features a proprietary processed and hardened aerospace-grade aluminum alloy diaphragm, which ensures the highest tensile strength to weight ratio for long-term fatigue resistance and accurate signal peak reproduction. The heat-stabilized polymer surround maintains low distortion even at high sound pressure levels, contributing to the stable, detailed performance required in professional tweeters. The combination of these advanced materials and design elements results in transparent, high-resolution audio suitable for the most critical listening environments.
Designed for rugged use, the 850PB-8 is built to withstand extreme stress and high peak factors over extended periods. Its low compression ratio phasing plug and optimized exit adapter work together to eliminate the typical distortion often associated with compression drivers, making it an excellent choice for speakers in both live and installed applications. The self-aligning diaphragm assembly also simplifies field servicing, ensuring maximum uptime for professional sound systems.
With a substantial 76.2 mm edge-wound ribbon wire voice coil and copper-clad aluminum construction, this driver achieves remarkable reliability and high sensitivity, rated at 112 dB. It is capable of handling 200 W of continuous program power and covers a wide frequency range from 500 Hz to 20 kHz. The robust ferrite ring magnet and high-temperature polyimide voice coil former further enhance performance and longevity, making the Radian 850PB-8 a standout in the audio components market.
The Radian 850PB-8 is ideal for use in a variety of professional audio settings, from touring rigs and stage monitors to high-performance installed and portable systems. Optional accessories such as replacement diaphragm assemblies and binding posts are available, providing flexibility for installation and maintenance. For system designers and audio engineers seeking a reliable, high-output compression driver, the Radian 850PB-8 offers a compelling balance of precision, power handling, and serviceability.
