FEATURES
-
POWER OF 500 WATTS:
This high-powered audio projection midrange/tweeter system has a maximum power output of 500 watts peak power / 250-watt RMS, allowing you to play your favorite music as loud as you want and with a sense of flair. -
1 – 20 kHz RESPONSE TO THE FREQUENCY OF:
This automobile tweeter compression driver has a frequency response of 1 to 20 kHz, and it will complete the woofer enclosure system that you already have in your car so that it can provide full-range stereo sound. Compatible with horns that have threads of 1 3/8″ x 18 TPI -
THE IMPEDANCE OF 8 OHM
This automobile tweeter compensates for the small wire used in the majority of vehicles by having a 1.75″ flat aluminum voice coil, 205-type terminals, 105 dB SPL, and an 8ohm impedance rating. In the end, it helps eliminate distortion so that you can enjoy a sound that is crisp and clear. -
Compatible with Horns that Have Threads Measuring 1 3/8″ x 18 TPI
-
MAGNETIC STRUCTURE WEIGHING 30 OZ:
These tweeters feature a magnet construction that weighs 30 ounces. The heavy- duty housing not only offers a solid base but also makes it simple to connect to the audio system in your vehicle. Using today’s speaker technology, it produces highs that are as clear and precise as is humanly conceivable.
Note:
Products that are equipped with electrical plugs are suitable for usage in the
United States. Because power outlets and voltage levels vary from country to
country, it is possible that you may need an adaptor or converter in order to
use this device at your destination. Before making a purchase, you should make
sure everything is compatible.
CONNECTIONS
In terms of its connectors, the Pyle PDS442 would ordinarily be equipped with input terminals that make it possible to connect it to an amplifier or another audio source. The particular kind of connection that is employed would be determined by the construction of the driver as well as the system that it is being used in. In most cases, horn drivers, such as the Pyle PDS442, are equipped with two connecting terminals:
-
Positive Terminal plus sign (+)
Connecting the positive (+) wire coming from the amplifier or audio source to this jack would complete the connection. -
Terminal with a negative sign (-)
Connecting the negative (-) wire coming from the amplifier or audio source should take place at this point.
The majority of the time, these terminals are intended to be used with spade connectors or bare wire connections. If the driver is a component of a larger speaker system, it is possible that it will also come with connections for banana plugs or even speakON connectors. This is particularly the case if the driver is sold separately.
It is very necessary to adhere to the instructions and suggestions provided by the manufacturer when it comes to wiring and connections. Always check to make sure that you are connecting the driver to the correct amplifier channel or crossover before using the driver. This will guarantee that the driver’s power needs and frequency range are met.
PRECAUTIONS
-
The process of handling and installing:
When you are working with the Pyle PDS442 driver, you should take care not to drop it or expose it to an excessive amount of force physically. Be gentle when you handle it throughout the installation process to avoid breaking any of the sensitive components. -
Management of Power:
Always be sure to follow the power handling recommendations and requirements that are supplied by the manufacturer. It is possible to cause distortion, overheating, or even physical damage to the driver by operating it at power levels that exceed its stated rating. -
Spectrum of Frequencies:
Take care to use the driver only within the frequency range for which it was designed. If the driver is forced to reproduce frequencies that fall outside of the range for which it was built, the sound quality may suffer, and the driver may even be damaged. -
Contexts With Crossover:
Make sure that the crossover parameters are appropriately setup if the driver is a part of a speaker system that has many drivers. This will assist in directing the correct frequencies to the driver, so preventing the driver from getting signals that it was not intended to process. -
Compatibility with Amplifiers:
Utilize an amplifier that satisfies the needs of the driver in terms of both its impedance and its power output. Amplification that is not properly matched might result in poor performance as well as possible harm to the driver. -
A ventilation system:
Make sure that the driver has enough ventilation and that nothing can get in their way, such as items or materials. The driver’s performance and lifespan are both susceptible to the effects of overheating. -
Topping out:
Mount the screwdriver firmly in the area that was intended for it. Vibrations may be caused when something is mounted incorrectly or loosely, which can degrade the sound quality and increase the risk of damage over time. -
Housekeeping:
If necessary, wipe the driver down with a dry, microfiber cloth while being careful. When working on the driver, you should avoid using any strong chemicals or solvents that might potentially harm the components. -
The Conditions of the Environment:
It is best to avoid subjecting the driver to conditions that are too hot, humid, or wet. These circumstances may have a negative impact on the driver’s performance as well as their lifespan. -
The Means of Transport:
In the event that you have to transfer the driver, do it inside of a protective case or some other kind of packing to avoid causing any kind of physical harm.
