Eminence Omega speakers are built for all high power bass applications.
Omega Pro Series drivers are by far Eminence’s most widely used high power drivers. All Omega Pro Series drivers feature huge 109oz magnets in massive cast frames and high power 4 inch voice coils. Omega Pro’s are designed to be both extremely accurate and handle tremendous amounts of power. This is an 18 inch, 8 ohm driver that handles 1600 watts music program and provides 25Hz-2kHz frequency response.

The Value of Eminence
Eminence wants to make sure their customers know exactly what they are getting when they buy a speaker. Therefore, Eminence provides two different ratings to describe the power handling of all their speakers.
Watts - the guaranteed long term power rating throughout the useable frequency range of the speaker.
Translation: the speaker will operate continuously at any frequency within the speakers’ specified frequency range when driven at this power. The Watts rating is similar to RMS, but is really more indicative of long term thermal capability.
Music Program - the speaker will safely and reliably handle the varying frequencies of musical content at this power rating.
The Music Program rating is more indicative of what you can expect in the real world with the speaker operating within the appropriate enclosure reproducing music or vocal audio program.
Eminence is committed to quality and guarantees all of its speakers for 7 years. They build all of their speakers to greatly exceed customer performance expectations. Dollar for dollar against competitors, an Eminence speaker is well worth the money that you invest!
It has often been said that Eminence professional loudspeakers are not expensive enough. A genuine American-built cast-frame high performance transducer must surely cost considerably more — after all, most other premium speakers do.
The fact is that nobody else in the world makes quantities like Eminence and nobody else can waste as little during the manufacturing process. If we made fewer and rejected more, we could match their prices… Eminence ‘Pro’ models have always been a remarkably good value. Following a series of detail revisions, they are now an even better value.
The major cause of failure in a loudspeaker is thermal overload. Expansion of moving parts — even melting of parts — is terminal. Some time ago, Eminence approached DuPont about formulating a special type of Kapton™ that could efficiently deal with extreme heat conditions. Except for rare accidental overloads, this material all but eliminated voice coil failures.
Eminence has further developed manufacturing techniques with this material and investigated other problem areas in transducer motor structures. The combined effect of a number of seemingly small adjustments to production techniques, component materials and adhesives has yielded dramatic improvements in power handling.
The transducers in the revised ‘Pro’ range offer power handling improvements of up to 50%. The popular Omega Pro series, originally rated at 600W, is now rated at between 700W and 800W. The Kappa Pro 15LF, once rated at 400W, is now rated at 600W. To recognize these new models, look for their gold back plate labels.
Now more than ever, selection from this range demands a more considered approach than simply reviewing power handling and sensitivity. We recommend consideration of the sensitivity chart and a review of the Thiele-Small explanations as a prelude to selecting samples for computer modeling of enclosure designs and listening tests.
The Eminence professional series represents a collection of the most widely used professional loudspeakers in the music industry. From indoor or outdoor concerts, to churches, night clubs, recording studios and arenas all over the world, Eminence has become well known for virtually all applications. Eminence earned this reputation from engineering and manufacturing transducers that incorporate the latest innovations in an affordable package. Why pay more for an over engineered product? Do what the professionals do: put Eminence Inside!
