FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


75W, COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT NEODYMIUM COMPRESSION DRIVERS AVAILABLE FROM CELESTION



NSCA EXPO, ORLANDO, FL — The versatility of Celestion’s CDX range has been greatly increased, with the availability of two new compact, lightweight Neodymium compression drivers — the CDX1-1730 and CDX1-1731.

These two models provide designers with a choice of mounting options (the CDX1-1730 is flange mount and the CDX1-1731 screw mount), while specifications for both devices are the same: 75-Watt power rating, 8 Ohm impedance, 110 dB sensitivity, 1.2 – 20 kHz frequency range, 1.75" voice coil and 1" throat exit with a PETP film diaphragm.

According to senior project engineer Paul Cork, “These compression drivers bring together the best elements of technology used in all of our CDX range. The design extracts the maximum performance from a very low profile unit.”

And, like other CDX compression drivers in the range, these new devices make extensive use of Celestion’s industry-leading experience in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to optimize the magnetic and acoustic design, helping the CDX1-1730/1731 to achieve outstanding performance at a highly competitive price point.

The new compression drivers also use Celestion’s proprietary Sound Castle™ diaphragm clamping system to ensure even clamping pressure on the diaphragm surround, thereby reducing distortion while allowing the full internal volume of the rear cover to act as a loading chamber for the diaphragm, resulting in superior lower mid-band response. With exceptional heat management from the aluminum heatsink, an edge-wound coil, and choice of mounting options, the CDX1-1730/1731 represents a cost-effective, high performance HF solution for a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications.
