Product Information
Full details
This Citronic HF Horn Driver is designed for audio professionals and enthusiasts seeking to upgrade or replace high-frequency drivers in full-range cabinets and line arrays. Its key benefit is providing high power handling (150W RMS) and accurate, detailed sound reproduction thanks to its Neodymium magnet and titanium diaphragm. A potential caveat is its specific design for horn coupling, requiring compatible enclosures for optimal performance.

FAQs
What is the RMS power handling of this driver?
The driver has an RMS power handling of 150W and a maximum power handling of 300W.
What type of magnet does this driver use?
It uses a lightweight and efficient Neodymium magnet.
What is the impedance of the driver?
The impedance of this driver is 8 Ohms.
What is the frequency response range?
The frequency response is from 800Hz to 20kHz.
Is this driver suitable for home hi-fi systems?
While it offers excellent clarity, it's primarily designed for horn-loaded professional audio enclosures. Its performance may vary significantly when not used in its intended application.
What is the size of the voice coil?
The voice coil diameter is 75mm (approximately 3 inches).
How do I connect this driver to my system?
Connect the driver's terminals to your crossover or amplifier output, ensuring correct polarity (+ to +, - to -). It is designed to be mounted to a horn.
Troubleshooting
No high-frequency output
Check all wiring connections for loose contacts and correct polarity. Ensure the amplifier is functioning correctly and the crossover is set appropriately. Verify the driver is not overloaded beyond its power handling limits.
Distorted high frequencies
Reduce the input signal level. Check for proper impedance matching with the amplifier. Ensure the diaphragm is not damaged and is properly seated. If used in a multi-driver system, verify the crossover point and slope are correct.
Driver physically damaged
Inspect the diaphragm and mounting for any visible damage. If damaged, the diaphragm may need replacement or the entire driver unit may require servicing or replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent high-frequency detail and clarity.
- Robust 150W RMS power handling.
- Lightweight Neodymium magnet for improved efficiency.
- Durable titanium diaphragm for longevity.
- Suitable for professional audio applications like line arrays.
Cons
- Requires a compatible horn enclosure for proper function.
- Specific frequency range may not suit all subwoofer applications.
- Requires careful installation to ensure a proper seal.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This driver is designed for direct mounting onto a horn (not included) and requires proper sealing to the enclosure. Ensure that the mounting screws are tightened evenly to prevent diaphragm stress. Connect speaker wires observing correct polarity (+ to +, - to -).
Compatibility: The driver features a standard 3-inch throat and an 8 Ohm impedance, making it compatible with many professional audio amplifiers and passive crossover networks. It is specifically recommended as a direct replacement for the Citronic C-208 cabinet.
Care: Keep the diaphragm clean and free from dust. Avoid exposing the driver to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure it is securely mounted to prevent vibrations.
