LASE Neodymium (8) Driver for JBL 2407H 2406H - High Sensitivity

In this review the LASE Neodymium (8) Driver is evaluated as a direct replacement option for technicians and audiophiles working with JBL 2407H, 2406H and compatible compression drivers. The bottom line: this aftermarket complete driver includes a 1.47in titanium diaphragm and neodymium magnet in an 8 ohm build, delivering a loud 101 dB sensitivity at 1W/1m, which makes it attractive for repair shops and DIY speaker restorations that need a lightweight, high-output driver without sourcing original OEM parts.

Key Features

• Complete assembly: Ships with diaphragm and magnet installed so the unit is ready to install and avoids the fiddly diaphragm replacement step.
• Neodymium magnet: Provides a lighter magnet structure that reduces weight in portable or wall-mounted cabinets while maintaining magnetic flux for good output.
• 1.47in titanium diaphragm: The titanium diaphragm offers a crisp high-frequency response and durability for professional audio use.
• 101 dB sensitivity: High sensitivity at 1W/1m means the driver produces strong acoustic output with less amplifier power, useful in PA or horn systems.
• 8 ohm impedance: Matches typical JBL compression driver designs for straightforward replacement without rewiring crossover networks.
• 1.375in exit screw-on: The screw-on exit simplifies mounting into existing horn throats that accept the specified exit size.

Who It's For

The LASE Neodymium (8) Driver is best for service technicians, audio repair shops, and experienced DIYers who need a direct replacement for JBL 2407H and related models or who want a lighter neodymium alternative for VT4887A and AM4200 series cabinets. It suits situations where restoring output and reliability quickly is more important than sourcing an original OEM unit.

Those who should look elsewhere include people seeking verified OEM parts with original manufacturer warranty coverage or buyers who cannot confirm mechanical fit with their specific horn throat; if exact factory provenance is required, an OEM-sourced driver may be preferable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Complete assembly arriving ready to install reduces downtime during repairs.
