1” Compression Driver for Compact 2-Way PA Systems
Product Overview
The 140FCD is a cost-efficient compression driver designed for small to mid-size 2-way PA loudspeaker systems, typically paired with 8” to 15” woofers.
It is optimized for high-volume production, offering reliable and consistent performance with predictable system integration for budget-sensitive professional audio products.
This model represents a mature and proven PA driver architecture, widely used in compact portable and installed sound systems where long-term stability and repeatability are essential.
Typical Applications
● Compact 2-way PA loudspeakers
● Portable PA systems
● Installed sound (bars, clubs, houses of worship)
● Entry- to mid-tier professional audio products
Key Features
● Budget-friendly compression driver for PA use
● Stable and repeatable acoustic behavior
● Designed for consistent high-volume manufacturing
● Suitable for speech and music reinforcement
● Easy system tuning and crossover integration

Driver Classification
Driver type: Compression driver
Intended system topology: 2-way PA loudspeaker
Design focus: Cost-controlled, reliable, mid-tier SPL applications
Electro-Acoustic Parameters (Driver-Intrinsic)
| Nominal impedance: | 8 Ω |
| AES power handling: | 30 W |
| Program power: | 60 W |
| Voice coil diameter: | 1.4” |
| Voice coil material: | CCAW |
| Voice coil former: | Kapton |
| Diaphragm material: | Polymer |
| Magnet type: | Ferrite |
| Throat diameter: | 1” |
| Net weight: approx. | 1.6 kg |
Impedance & Resonance Characteristics
(measured without horn loading)
Primary diaphragm / rear-chamber resonance: approx. 1200 Hz
DC resistance (Re): approx. 5.5 Ω
Note: Resonance data is provided as an indicator of the mechanical stress region and is not intended as a usable crossover frequency.
Sensitivity (Horn-Loaded, System-Dependent)
Typical sensitivity with appropriate 1” PA horn: approx. 110 dB (1 W / 1 m)
Actual sensitivity depends on horn geometry and measurement conditions.
Recommended System Integration
Typical system type: 2-way PA loudspeaker
Recommended crossover frequency: ≥ 1.5 – 2.0 kHz (system dependent)
Recommended filter slopes: ≥ 12 dB/oct (24 dB/oct preferred)
Compatible horn types: 1” throat PA horns (constant-directivity or exponential)
Design Intent
The 140FCD is designed for compact PA systems requiring predictable performance, mechanical reliability, and production consistency.
The design prioritizes stability and repeatability over maximum SPL, making it suitable for high-volume professional audio products where uniform voicing and long-term availability are essential.
Application Guidance
Recommended for:
● Budget-sensitive PA products
● Compact 2-way loudspeakers using 8”–15” LF drivers
● Portable and installed PA systems
● OEM and DIY designs prioritizing consistency and reliability
Not intended for:
● Large-format, high-SPL touring systems
● Very low crossover frequency applications (below approx. 1.2 kHz)
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES FOR DESIGNER
● Keep everything on ONE URL / ONE PAGE
● Marketing section at the top, technical section below
● Do NOT hide the technical section (no tabs that block text loading)
● Use real text (not images or PDFs) for all specifications
● Section headings must be clear and descriptive
● Avoid the term “T/S parameters” for compression drivers
