Big Output. Powerful Neodymium Motor. Built to Get LOUD!
Get serious high-frequency performance with the DS18 PRO-DRN3PH Neodymium Compression Driver. Designed for high-output car audio systems, this powerful driver combines an efficient neodymium magnet structure, a 3" phenolic diaphragm assembly, and a 2" bolt-on throat for demanding custom audio installations.
With 225 watts AES, 450 watts program power, and 900 watts peak power handling, the PRO-DRN3PH is built for impressive output. Its 110dB sensitivity allows it to produce powerful sound efficiently, making it a strong choice for speaker walls, custom audio builds, and systems that demand serious projection.
The neodymium magnet delivers strong motor performance in a more compact design than traditional large ferrite motor assemblies. Its 3" voice coil features aluminum winding with a high-temperature Kapton former, while the phenolic diaphragm is designed for high-output compression driver applications.
Featuring a 2" throat with a four-bolt M6 mounting configuration, the PRO-DRN3PH works with compatible DS18 compression horns, giving builders flexibility when selecting the right horn for their installation.
The driver provides a frequency response of 500Hz to 10kHz, with a manufacturer-recommended high-pass crossover of 800Hz. Its aluminum body provides durable construction, while the serviceable diaphragm assembly makes future repairs more convenient.
Whether you're upgrading your high-frequency system, replacing an existing compression driver, or building a powerful multi-speaker setup, the DS18 PRO-DRN3PH delivers the output, efficiency, and versatility needed to get loud.
Includes one compression driver, mounting hardware, and capacitor.
Horn sold separately.
