The D290Py-B is a high power mids & highs compression driver with the highest sensitivity in its 1” exit class. It offers unsurpassed vocals and crystal clear natural sounds from its unbreakable Polyimide diaphragm.
Its high output and smooth midrange frequency response allow you to use this driver in any high output audio application for vocal reinforcement. This driver is commonly found in most PRO Audio manufacturers’ premium PA speaker cabinets.
This top of the line technology is ideally suited to many different types of applications: PRO Audio Line-arrays, high-end monitors, high output home audio speakers for which performance is crucial.
1″ Exit Polyimide Mids & Highs Compression Driver – New Technology supersede titanium diaphragms, being able to play low frequencies without shattering and performing more accurately at high frequencies.
Crystal clear natural sound with wider response from 650 to 19,000 Hz
Polyimide diaphragm with high temperature 1.75″ Voice Coil, providing dynamic output along with excellent efficiency – 109 dB Sensitivity
PRO Audio horn driver, able to handle 180 Watts Continuous Program Power (RMS) with music
Standard 2 and 3 bolt patterns make them an easy replacement and upgrade option for many Pro audio cabinets. Includes bolt-on to screw-on adapter with mounting hardware. Available in a Screw-On Version.
The specially designed Polyimide diaphragm provides durability and additional damping for natural sound quality. This technology raises the bar for high frequency drivers by giving the driver wider usable bandwidth for smooth, dynamic output along with excellent efficiency.
Polyimide diaphragms supersede titanium diaphragms, being able to play low frequencies without shattering and performing more accurately at high frequencies.

*Nominal power handling is defined as the maximum RMS power that the speaker can handle in a 2-hour test with a pink noise with 6dB of crest factor and a bandpass filter with 12db/oct tuned in its usable frequency range.**Continuous Program Power (RMS) is the maximum power that the speaker can handle considering a regular musical program using our recommended filters, this power can be used to define the optimum amplifier power to avoid a clean signal without clipping or saturation. ***Max Peak Power is the maximum power operation for the speaker, this power is allowed just for a few fractions of a second, usually found just on the peaks of the music. Keeping this power for a little longer timer will damage the speaker.
Just got them installed, and they sound detailed and clear, but not edgy. I prefer them to the DE120 drivers that I previously tried. I have them crossed over at around 1100Hz.
with a 12 dB Linkwitz-Riley.
