DE12TC specifications

The B&C Speakers DE12TC is a high-performance compression driver designed for professional audio applications, widely recognized for its exceptional sound quality and reliability. As a crucial component in many sound reinforcement systems, the DE12TC delivers clear and detailed audio even at high output levels, making it a popular choice for concert venues, theaters, and various PA systems.

One of the standout features of the DE12TC is its 1.4-inch exit throat, which is designed to optimize high-frequency reproduction while ensuring minimal distortion. The driver employs a titanium diaphragm, known for its lightweight yet rigid properties, allowing for fast response times and reducing the risk of breakup modes commonly associated with lesser diaphragm materials. This ensures that the DE12TC can produce smooth, transparent highs with a minimum of harshness.

The DE12TC is equipped with a powerful neodymium magnet system that significantly reduces the overall weight of the driver while maintaining a high magnetic flux. This innovative use of materials contributes to the driver’s efficiency, allowing it to convert input power into sound output with minimal energy loss. This efficiency means that the DE12TC can handle high power levels up to 50 watts RMS and 100 watts peak, making it suitable for both small and large audio applications.

Another key characteristic of the DE12TC is its horn-loading capability. The driver is designed to be paired with a variety of horns, which further enhances its sound projection and efficiency. This flexibility allows sound engineers to tailor the driver’s output to specific acoustic environments, ensuring optimal coverage and performance during live sound events.

The DE12TC also boasts a frequency response extending from 1 kHz to 20 kHz, delivering a broad range of sounds from vocal clarity to instrument articulation. The extended frequency response ensures that the most critical sonic details are preserved, allowing for an immersive audio experience.

Furthermore, the DE12TC features a durable construction and thoughtful design that contribute to its longevity and performance stability. With its robust build quality and high-quality components, the B&C Speakers DE12TC is a reliable choice for professionals seeking superior audio fidelity in demanding environments. Whether utilized in touring applications or fixed installations, the DE12TC is well-equipped to meet the needs of even the most discerning audio professionals.
