A really great 1" driver at a reasonable price.

The magnesium anodized diaphragm sounds smooth but also has a little bit of a bite to it, witouth sounding harsh like a lot of titanium drivers. The sound is also has a little more realism compared to the ubiquitous modern plastic diaphragm drivers, that tend to be very silky smooth but also tend to mask the details a little bit and sound a somewhat artificial.

Note that this driver has a very wide throat exit angle and a lower spl than most professional drivers, so try to find a horn with a wide throat angle. The higher frequencies fall off quite a bit, so it's not recommended with a constant directivity horn. For CD-horns I would rather recommend the Faital Pro HF10AK.

Still, this is the best driver I have tried for home audio horn applications.

Review by David on 3/3/23

This one may be the best "Bang-For-The-Buck" CD I have. I use it for home hi-fi. Plays with clarity and is quiet. I am using it with an 18 Sound horn (XT120) that cooperates with the other drivers. I am currently experimenting with various x-over points and filters. It does appear to like higher order and/or other devices below around 4000hz. That is expected of most horns anyway. Used in higher volume environments such as PA/large rooms I feel it would do okay but I have no way to prove it. I do wish they would offer a Titanium, or other hard dome option out of curiosity but the current one suffices and with less compression ratio, it keeps the sound more 'real'. A Titanium dome may/may not make a difference in this configuration.
