CDF1.17AMY8 - 1 Inch HF Driver

High-Sensitivity High-Frequency Driver for Professional Loudspeaker Systems

The CDF1.17AMY8 is a high-efficiency 1" exit compression driver engineered for professional sound reinforcement systems requiring controlled high-frequency output, high sensitivity, and reliable long-term performance. Designed by B&C Group and manufactured to Eminence Pro™ standards, this driver is optimized for OEM applications in portable PA, stage monitor, and fixed installation loudspeaker platforms.

Rated at 60 W nominal / 120 W continuous program power, the CDF1.17AMY8 delivers consistent high-frequency performance in demanding environments. With a 106.5 dB sensitivity, it enables high acoustic output with minimal amplifier power, supporting efficient system designs and reduced thermal stress. The driver operates over a 1.5 kHz – 20 kHz frequency range and is optimized for use with a 1.2 kHz or higher crossover slope (12 dB/oct or greater).

The motor assembly features a 44 mm (1.7") aluminum voice coil combined with a polyester diaphragm, providing a balance of durability, controlled response, and stable performance under continuous operation. A 1" (25 mm) throat exit ensures compatibility with a wide range of standard professional HF horns and waveguides, offering flexible integration into new or existing enclosure designs.

With compact dimensions and standardized mounting, the CDF1.17AMY8 integrates easily into scalable OEM production environments while delivering predictable, repeatable high-frequency performance.
