Beyma TD-194: TD horn rated 90 W AES for higher-power compression drivers
At 90 W AES, the Beyma TD-194 is designed for more powerful compression drivers than the smaller members of the TD series. The horn weighs 1 kg and shares the solid body you expect from the metal variants in this range. For the user this means an HF horn that, combined with a suitably rated driver, works in cabinets for higher output without the horn itself becoming the limiting element.
Why quote a wattage for a passive part with no voice coil at all? A horn is excited mechanically by the driver's acoustic energy, and at very high levels the body and its fixings can start to vibrate. Beyma's figure states which driver power the construction is intended for. The 90 W AES place the TD-194 in the middle to upper part of the TD series.
Use and enclosure
The TD-194 makes sense as the HF horn in two-way PA tops, in stage monitors or in installation speakers that carry a compression driver with a higher power rating. The driver must match the horn throat – Beyma offers compression drivers in several exit sizes, and 42.audio lists them in its driver database. Since no datasheet is on file for the TD-194, confirm throat diameter and bolt pattern before ordering.
The crossover follows from the driver and the horn mouth. A horn loads the driver cleanly only above its lower cut-off; below that the acoustic resistance drops and diaphragm excursion rises. Set the high-pass well above the driver's resonance and use a steep slope. An amplifier with a limiter on the HF channel is a sensible safeguard for systems in this power class.
What to look out for
- 90 W AES – suits compression drivers with higher power handling; the driver still sets the system limit.
- 1 kg weight: a stiff body that stays quiet at high levels.
- Match the driver's throat size and mounting pattern before buying.
- Set the high-pass steep and well above driver resonance; a limiter on the HF channel is recommended.
Frequently asked questions
What does a 90 W AES rating mean for a horn?
It states which driver power Beyma designed the construction for. A horn has no voice coil, but it is excited mechanically and must absorb that energy without vibrating along. The actual system limit is the compression driver's power handling.
Which Beyma driver fits the TD-194?
A compression driver whose exit diameter equals the horn throat. Check the value in the 42.audio driver database, as no datasheet PDF is on file for the horn itself.
Which cabinets is the TD-194 intended for?
Two-way tops, monitors and installation speakers that carry a more powerful HF driver. At 1 kg it is not a lightweight, but the body stays stable at high levels.
Beyma TD-194: manufacturer, spellings and classification
Beyma and Acustica Beyma refer to the same manufacturer: Acústica Beyma S.L. of Moncada near Valencia, Spain. The TD-194 is a horn / waveguide from the TD series, available from 42.audio, Beyma dealer in Germany, with datasheet and full specifications in the driver database.
At 42.audio you get the BEYMA TD-194 with all key data in the driver database. More drivers from this manufacturer: Atlas Beyma.
