The P Audio 12BM-300B is a high output wide bandwidth transducer. The 6.5 mm.
10.0 mm.
12BM-300B is an upgraded design that features many of P Audio’s new
technologies and performance upgrades. The 12 inch (305mm) diameter
piston will produce extremely high sound pressure levels at both low and
mid band frequencies and is ideal for high level response in both live sound
and recorded music venues. The transducer has a rated bandwidth of 45Hz
to 3000Hz. The transducer uses high energy ferrite magnetics to achieve a
very high acoustic output to weight ratio. The 12BM-300B has been optimized
for use in two way or three way sound reinforcement systems.

The 12BM-300B employs a medium format 3 inch (76.2mm) diameter

voice coil that provides an AES rated 300 watts of continuous power handling
and a full 1200 watts of peak rated power handling when sufficient amplifier
headroom is available. The 12BM-300B utilizes P Audio’s Auto Balanced 313.5 mm.

Cooling (ABC) technology to not only improve transducer power handling 15.5 mm.

and reliability but to also increase power compression performance by

carefully balancing and directing airflow to critical areas.
