Architectural Specifications
The loudspeaker shall be of the two-way type comprising a single flush mount enclosure containing one 8” (203mm) polypropylene cone, butyl rubber surround low frequency transducer and one coaxially mounted 1” (25mm) cloth dome, pivoting, ferrofluid cooled high frequency transducer. It shall utilize a one-piece bezel-less grille design and an optional square grille adapter shall also be available if required. Frequency range shall be 55Hz – 20KHz (-3dB). Total power handling shall be 80 Watts continuous pink noise and 160 Watts program. Sensitivity measured with 2.83 volts input at 1 meter on axis averaged between 55Hz – 20KHz shall be 91dB. The unit shall be supplied with a line matching transformer suitable for 100 volt or 70 volt with a front mounted control allowing user selectable power taps of 60W, 30W, 15W, and 7.5W (70V) and an 8 Ohm bypass. The back shall be constructed from deep drawn steel. The baffle shall be ported and injection molded using fire rated ABS that meets UL 94V-0. The speaker shall be suitable for use in air handling spaces per UL 2043, NFPA 90 and NFPA 70 S7232 as well as UL 1480, UL Rated signaling speaker. Wire shall be terminated in an enclosed area on the rear of the back can with a secondary knock-out. Strain relief shall be provided for wire. A seismic attachment shall be provided on the rear of the back can to allow additional support when necessary. The system shall include a support backing plate to reinforce the ceiling material and tile support rails which can all be installed from beneath the ceiling tile. External dimensions shall be 11.06” Diameter x 9.84” Depth (281mm x 250mm). The total enclosure shall weigh 10 lbs. (4.53 kg) per unit.
