Correct

The compression driver is the Beyma CP-385Nd. I went through a lot of compression drivers first, and that was the best I could find at the time for that application. Since then a couple of drivers have come on the market that I like a bit better, but it's still a very good one.

If I'd have been smart, I'd have simply followed the advice of Al at US Speaker from the beginning. He recommended that driver to me and for various reasons (which in retrospect amounted to ignorance and prejudice in my part) I tried almost everything else first.

If you're going to use a shallow horn or waveguide like the DDS, you don't want a compression driver with a long internal "snout", like the TADs, as that results in an abrupt change in angle where the two meet, which would be a potential source of distortion.

Me being a dealer makes you leery?? It gets worse... I'm a manufacturer too.
