1″ B&C DH450H 8Ω|16Ω

HLX Series – The Helical Approach

B&C has a reputation for performance, by turning the limits of traditional compression driver design on their head. HLX™ : Compression driver efficiency in miniature. The HLX™ phase plug (US Patent #12149906) has a central channel that is twisted, like DNA, to gain the length required to match the outer channels. This technique works with standard, cost-effective injection mold tooling and plastics by rotating the inner die along a screw profile. The convex dome design, so achieved, has a number of significant cost and performance advantages.

• Minimized diameter, weight, and cost
• lncreased diaphragm area
• Low, ~1kHz Crossover point
• Reduced distortion, especially intermodulation distortion
• More efficient magnetic flux use
