Horns / Sound Projectors
PD Series Compression Drivers
PD30 / PD30T / PD60 / PD60T
The efficient Penton Audio PD series are conservatively rated, high-power compression drivers. Designed to be used with the Penton H Series largeformat horns, they have 1-3/8" - #18 threads. These also mate easily with most horns from other manufacturers providing equal or superior output. Drivers are weather resistant for mounting in outdoor environments.
The PD30 is a 16-ohm device. With an internal transformer, the PD30T has a 70.7-volt output. Both devices use a voice coil rated at 35 watts.
Similar in concept but slightly larger in size, the PD60 has a 16-ohm output. The PD60T has an internal transformer providing a 70.7-volt output. Both use the same 75-watt rated voice coil.
All PD series drivers use lightweight but high-density, phenolic-resin diaphragms. Their gray housings are zinc diecast for durability and long life outdoors.

The PD Series compression drivers screw on, thereby mounting on Penton and most full-range horns for indoor or outdoor applications.
16-ohm drivers can be daisy-chained to match the recommended output of a typical 8-ohm amplifier. For long runs or use with multiple horns on the same amplifier, the "T" versions are meant to be used with an amplifier's 70.7-volt output.
Typical applications when mounted on large format horns are schools, athletic fields, industrial property entry gates, ballparks, factories, park districts, fairgrounds, air shows, communications along city parade routes, etc.
