Beyma TD-196P: 90 W AES at 0.28 kg – lightweight horn for PA tops
A horn rated at 90 W AES that still weighs only 0.28 kg: the Beyma TD-196P combines a high design rating with a very light body. That combination makes it attractive for anyone building rental or touring cabinets where every component is weighed. The body is almost certainly plastic – the P in the model name and the 280 g leave little room for any other reading.
Within the TD series the TD-196P therefore represents the light line in the higher power class. Beyma uses the TD range for HF horns that give a compression driver defined forward coverage; the TD-196P is the version for users who want to mount a stronger driver without making the box heavy.
Use and enclosure
Classic use: the HF section of a two-way top for mobile sound. The driver's power rating should match the horn, and its exit must correspond to the horn throat – take a compression driver from the Beyma range and check exit diameter and mounting pattern in the 42.audio driver database. No datasheet PDF is on file for this horn, so do not rely on assumptions.
With a light body, the mechanical connection matters more than with a cast horn: bolt the horn flat onto the baffle without stress so nothing rattles or resonates. Cross over with a steep slope above the driver's resonance; how low you can go is decided by the mouth size, not by the wattage. If you intend to use the full 90 W AES, run the HF channel with a limiter.
What to look out for
- Rated 90 W AES at only 0.28 kg – designed for stronger drivers in lightweight boxes.
- Plastic body: mount flat and stress-free so nothing vibrates along.
- Check the compression driver's exit diameter and bolt pattern in advance.
- Choose the crossover by driver and mouth size, not by the power figure.
Frequently asked questions
Can such a light horn really take 90 W AES?
The figure refers to the driver power Beyma intended the construction for, and a plastic body can be engineered for that. What matters is a firm mounting so the energy does not end up as body vibration.
Which driver goes on the TD-196P?
A Beyma compression driver with matching exit size and a power rating that suits the horn's design. Exit diameter and mounting pattern are listed in the 42.audio driver database.
Which cabinets benefit from the low weight?
Touring and rental tops, monitors and ceiling speakers. At 0.28 kg the horn barely registers in the total weight – the driver contributes far more.
Beyma TD-196P: manufacturer, spellings and classification
Beyma and Acustica Beyma refer to the same manufacturer: Acústica Beyma S.L. of Moncada near Valencia, Spain. The TD-196P 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-196P with all key data in the driver database. More drivers from this manufacturer: Atlas Beyma.
