Radian LM10n Wide Band Planar Ribbon Driver
The Radian LM10n stands out with its innovative design featuring a symmetric push-pull magnetic structure, optimized using finite element analysis for maximum efficiency and minimal distortion. The use of high MGO neodymium magnets ensures an even magnetic flux distribution, while the advanced high-temperature stabilized polymer diaphragm delivers extremely linear operation over a broad dynamic range. This unique construction results in a predominantly resistive impedance with negligible inductive component, significantly minimizing intermodulation distortion and enhancing audio purity.
Performance is at the core of the LM10n, with a sensitivity of 94 dB and an effective frequency range from 120 Hz to 20 kHz. The driver is capable of handling up to 70 W AES and 200 W short-term maximum power, making it suitable for both moderate and high-output systems. Its flat conductor pattern, evenly distributed across the diaphragm, provides textbook constant directivity in the horizontal plane, achieving a wide 120-degree horizontal and 30-degree vertical coverage. This makes the LM10n a compelling choice for speakers designed for both home and professional use.
Compatibility and application flexibility are key advantages of the LM10n. It is optimized for line array setups, maximizing the active radiating area relative to driver height, and can be paired seamlessly with Radian LT3 or LT2 tweeters for extended high-frequency performance. The LM10n supports both open-back/dipole and closed-back configurations, delivering either a spacious, three-dimensional soundstage or a more focused, immediate presentation depending on enclosure design. For desktop or nearfield monitoring, augmenting the LM10n with a subwoofer creates an immersive, holographic listening experience.
Engineered for longevity, the LM10n features a structurally inert frame and thermally conductive polymer materials, ensuring operational stability even under demanding conditions. Its gold-plated terminals provide secure connections, while the powder-coated steel driver plates add further durability. As part of the Radian Planar Ribbon Series, the LM10n is an excellent addition to audio components for high-fidelity, line array, or nearfield systems, and fits naturally into DIY speaker kit and home audio projects that demand uncompromising sound quality.
