## Description

Screaming onto the scene is DS18's PRO-DR1PK44 that has an all new design and has been tweaked for maximum performance and loudness. This horn driver sports a 1" 8-ohm CCA voice coil to absorb the 240w peak power and is designed to really make it loud with efficiency. This driver comes with an attached square shaped screw on throat that makes it very versatile while also enhancing acoustics and decibel levels. This driver has a 107.3 DB sensitivity so the potential of screaming loudness is easily obtainable with the right combination of power. This driver's frequency range is very wide starting at 800hz all the way up to ear drum shattering 20khz! The PRO-DR1PK44 is sure to complete your pro audio system and complement all your other speakers with crisp and clear high range sound.

Review: Quality compression driver - This is a great product. It improved the overall quality of my car sound system. I’d purchase it again. Great recommendation.
Review: Excellent sensitivity, range and power handling - I bought a pair of these to complete my studio / sound room monitor update. I was skeptical based on the advertised specs, but have been pleasantly surprised. For the price, a very competent driver with excellent clarity and control in the ever-important vocal ranges. They do require a bit of equalization to tame a harsh peak around 3khz, and the clarity leaves a bit to be desired above 15khz. But that's something you would expect out of a driver in the $1k price range. Had an issue with one of the first pair I received. Had a raspiness in the vocal harmonics that made me think the cone was cracked or the voicecoil was rubbing so I ordered a third which sounded fine. After realizing the return window had closed on that original one I opened it up to find it has a fully replaceable driver element. I wonder if the manufacturer sells those - if so I would give them 5.5 stars! Anyway, after re-assembling the one that was raspy I found it was fixed! I must assume the voicecoil wasn't perfectly centered in the flux gap. I will be buying more of these. Not sure if I will be converting my single horn boxes into duals, or something else, but for the price you'd be hard pressed to find anything as good for under $250.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best bang for buck compression horn
*by S***N on February 19, 2025*

These are very impressive. I bought two and loved their response so much I got a second pair for my custom 10" mids boxes. These tweets play much lower than super tweeters which helps blend the mids/highs way better and aren't as fatiguing. The vocals come out super clear through these. I pick these over the PRV/timpano because of lower frequency response and better terminals. The plastic horn is pretty good and easy to do the cutout. Definitely will get a third set for the car system.
