The P Audio PreNeo-450N is a state of the art high output compression
driver. Advanced engineering and manufacturing methods have produced
an extremely reliable and wide bandwidth device that also features very
high fidelity.
The new PreNeo-450N driver utilizes the recently developed CRT™ technology
to substantially improve both the time domain response and reduce
distortion through the critical upper vocal range (1.5kHz to 5kHz). This
new technology, called Cavity Resonance Technology ™ (CRT) acts to
acoustically minimize the cavity found under all suspension driver suspension
elements. By employing CRT technology, P Audio engineers have
been able to greatly improve the vocal accuracy in the frequency range
where vocal intelligibility is located. Magnetic fluid has also been added
to increase thermal transfer and mechanical damping. These changes to
the diaphragm and magnet structure assembly have also increased the
sound pressure levels and smoothed the response between 10kHz and
20kHz. The result is a more accurate system, particularly for vocal range
program material.
The PreNeo-450N is a medium format titanium based diaphragm assembly
mated to a close spaced circumferential phase plug geometry. The voice
coil is a rectangular geometry high temperature aluminum to insure extended
high frequency response.
The 1.0 inch (25.4mm) throat exit makes the 450N an excellent choice
for extended bandwidth and ultra high frequency applications such as
three way designs . The PreNeo-450N is ideally suited for line array applications
or other applications where a mid bass horn or direct radiator
driver is also used. This small format throat insures wide dispersion at
very high frequencies and is an excellent choice for three way systems or
medium power two way designs. The 1.0 inch throat is compatible with a
variety of P Audio horns and also compatible with industry standard 1.0
inch bolt on horns.
The Neodymium based permanent magnetic system produces a very high
efficiency to weight and size ratio. This makes the PreNeo-450N ideal for
professional applications as well as fixed installation systems. The medium
format Neodymium-Iron-Boron permanent magnet produces a remarkably
high conversion efficiency. |
