Celestion AN2075 20W 8 Ohm Compact Array Driver

Compact array driver for portable line arrays

The Celestion AN2075 is a 20W 8 Ohm compact array driver designed for portable line arrays using actively controlled wavefront beam steering. Its square mounting frame allows close coupling of multiple units to create a coherent wavefront. The driver weighs 0.25 units and features a stiff, light aluminium cone that remains rigid at higher frequencies for a smoother response in the critical listening band. A half-roll elastomer surround provides damping for unwanted resonances and sustained centring control at extremes of excursion.

Square frame simplifies close-coupled installation

The purpose-designed chassis with a square mounting frame facilitates tight packing of multiple drivers, reducing physical gaps between units in an array. This mechanical alignment supports the coherent wavefront required for beam-steering applications. The weather-resistant construction suits outdoor deployments, while the lightweight neodymium structure eases handling during rigging. Installers should verify that the enclosure design provides adequate free air movement behind the chassis as intended by the driver's ventilation layout.

Suits beam-steered portable arrays.

This driver targets system builders creating portable line arrays that rely on active beam steering for pattern control. Its wide dispersion at higher frequencies and close-coupling geometry serve that specific topology. It is not suited for designs needing deep low-frequency extension or high SPL from a single cabinet, nor for passive crossover networks typical of conventional two-way enclosures. Buyers requiring larger cone area, higher power handling, or different dispersion characteristics should evaluate alternative driver formats.
