Vocal Power That Cuts Through Any System
The PRV Audio WG270Ph Phenolic Horn Midrange is built for car audio enthusiasts who want vocals that hit hard and stay crystal clear. Designed for high-output SPL and PRO audio setups, it delivers strong midrange projection that makes voices stand out even in loud environments. If your system needs that upfront vocal presence that never gets buried, this driver brings it right where it needs to be.
Warm Phenolic Tone With Serious Clarity
At the heart of this horn is a phenolic diaphragm that keeps sound smooth, warm, and easy to listen to even at high volume. It covers a wide 600 Hz to 8,000 Hz range, giving you strong vocal reinforcement and clean midrange detail that blends easily into 3-way systems. With 106.5 dB sensitivity, it delivers loud, efficient output without needing heavy amplifier power, making it perfect for high-performance daily or competition builds.
Built for Real Install Flexibility and Long-Term Abuse
This driver uses a robust 2-inch copper voice coil that handles up to 150W RMS while staying thermally stable under pressure. The 60 by 60 degree horn dispersion keeps sound evenly spread, giving you balanced coverage across your listening area. Its compact front-mount design makes installation faster and easier, especially for custom builds, while the durable PRO-grade construction ensures it holds up in car audio SPL setups or outdoor PA use without breaking a sweat.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- • Why doesn't my PRV Audio WG270Ph fit my compression driver?
Fitment problems usually occur because the compression driver uses a different thread size or mounting standard. Always verify compatibility before installation.
- • Can I use the PRV Audio WG270Ph with compression drivers from other brands?
Yes. Many compression drivers from other manufacturers may fit if they share the same mounting specifications, but confirming compatibility before purchasing is recommended.
- • Why do my vocals sound uneven after installing the PRV Audio WG270Ph?
Uneven sound can result from improper horn positioning, crossover settings, or pairing the horn with a compression driver that is not well matched for the application.
- • Does the PRV Audio WG270Ph affect sound coverage?
Yes. The horn helps control how high frequencies are dispersed, which can improve sound projection and listening consistency when installed correctly.
- • Why is my PRV Audio WG270Ph vibrating during loud music?
Vibration is often caused by loose mounting screws, an improperly secured compression driver, or nearby speaker cabinet panels resonating with the sound.
- • Can the PRV Audio WG270Ph be used in outdoor speaker systems?
Yes. It works well in outdoor applications when installed with a properly protected compression driver inside a weather resistant enclosure.
- • Why does my system sound different after replacing my old horn with the PRV Audio WG270Ph?
Different horns have different dispersion characteristics, which can change how the sound is projected. Some retuning with EQ or crossover settings may be needed after installation.
- • Can I paint the PRV Audio WG270Ph for a custom speaker build?
Yes. Many users paint speaker horns to match custom installations. Apply a thin coat and avoid blocking the horn opening or mounting threads.
- • Why does the PRV Audio WG270Ph seem louder in one direction than another?
This is normal because horns are designed to direct sound in a controlled coverage pattern. Proper aiming helps distribute sound more evenly across the listening area.
- • How can I keep the PRV Audio WG270Ph performing properly over time?
Regularly inspect the horn for cracks, tighten the mounting hardware, keep the surface clean, and make sure the compression driver remains securely attached for consistent long term performance.
