Exceptional Power Handling & Output

Engineered with a 2-inch (50.8mm) throat diameter, theAD-4599EX PRO 2″ Neodymium Compression Driver eatures dual 90mm voice coils, offering outstanding power capacity and thermal stability. It delivers a continuous AES-rated power of 450W, including 2×80W above 300Hz, ensuring consistent performance during extended use.

The AD-4599EX PRO delivers exceptional sensitivity, rated at 123dB (2×1W/1m) and 117dB at 1W/1m/2.83V. This ensures ultra-high efficiency, allowing the driver to produce powerful output with minimal amplifier load. It also reaches a maximum SPL of 135dB at 160W/1m/35.7V. As a result, it delivers loud, clear, and distortion-free sound, even in large venues.

Wide Frequency Range & Clarity

The driver covers a wide frequency range of 200Hz to 8000Hz. It delivers clear midrange and high-frequency response, making it ideal for vocals, cymbals, and instruments in complex mixes. Whether used in a stadium setup or a touring rig, the AD-4599EX PRO offers consistent precision and articulation across the entire frequency band.

Premium Components for Durability & Performance

The AD-4599EX PRO uses high-grade neodymium (N45 SH) magnets, producing a flux density of 1.95 Tesla. This creates a strong magnetic force while keeping the design compact and lightweight. The voice coils are made of copper and use wet winding on a Kapton former. This construction provides excellent heat resistance, mechanical durability, and stable performance under heavy loads.

The diaphragm is crafted from high-quality polyester polymide, offering a balanced combination of stiffness, damping, and reliability—critical for accurate high-frequency reproduction.

Mounting & Design Flexibility

This driver features a 4xM6 mounting pattern with a 90° layout on a 101.6mm bolt circle, making it compatible with a wide range of horn designs and enclosures. Weighing just 3.1kg, it offers a strong power-to-weight ratio ideal for touring professionals and fixed installations alike.
