DRIVER TITANIUM

D3300Ti DPD
The D3300Ti DPD® model is an ultra high quality
compression driver for professional use wherever high SPL and
low distortion are of great concern.
Pure titanium specially designed diaphragm with IPF®
(Impregnated Polymer Fiber) surround, for high sensitivity, low
distortion and smooth extended frequency response applications.
The D3300Ti DPD® is recommended for use in arenas, stage
monitors, side fills and sound reinforcement systems.
Optimized aluminum injected phase plug avoids phase
cancellation problems.
High flux density magnetic assembly with copper shorting
ring that lowers distortion and reduces the voice coil self-
inductance.
Protection circuit DPD® (Driver Protection Device). This
circuit uses a PTC and a HPCCR resistor assuring more reliability
under overload condition.
The flat wire voice coil (copper clad aluminum) uses a high
temperature Kapton® former.
Precisely engineered diaphragm structure and alignment
mechanism allow for easy, reliable and cost effective repair in case
of diaphragm failure.
In the rare case a repair may be necessary, please read
carefully the instructions supplied and be sure to correctly follow
the items step by step.
With a 2" exit throat and standard bolt pattern, it directly
couples to Selenium horns with (50 mm) throats.
Base and cover are injected aluminum, assuring high
mechanical resistance and a very shallow profile.

Power handling specifications refer to normal speech and/or music program material,
reproduced by an amplifier producing no more than 5% distortion. Power is calculated as
true RMS voltage squared divided by the nominal impedance of the loudspeaker. This
voltage is measured at the input of the recommended passive crossover when placed
between the power amplifier and loudspeaker.
Musical Program= 2 x W RMS.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT AMPLIFIER

The power amplifier must be able to supply twice the RMS driver power. This
100 3 dB headroom is necessary to handle the peaks that are common to
musical programs. When the amplifier clips those peaks, high distortion
arises and this may damage the transducer due to excessive heat. The use
of compressors is a good practice to reduce music dynamics to safe levels.

FINDING VOICE COIL TEMPERATURE
It is very important to avoid maximum voice coil temperature. Since moving
coil resistance (RE) varies with temperature according to a well known law,
60 we can calculate the temperature inside the voice coil by measuring the
voice coil DC resistance:
æR öæ 1 ö
TB = TA + çç B - 1÷÷ çç TA - 25 + ÷÷
è RA øè a 25 ø
