Architectural Specifications
The loudspeaker shall be of the two-way type comprising a pendant-style injection-molded ABS enclosure containing one 8” (203mm) polypropylene cone, butyl rubber surround low frequency transducer and one coaxially mounted 1” (25mm) cloth dome, chambered and pivoting, ferrofluid cooled high frequency transducer. It shall utilize a powder coated steel, bezel-less grille that is retained magnetically. 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 90dB. 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 top of the enclosure shall include a 5-point hanging mount and four-pin Euroblock connector with loop-through, both of which shall be hidden by a removable integrated top cover. The system shall be certified for UL 1480 (UEAY) and UL 2239 and include UL listed hanging hardware and secondary hardware for safety redundancy, Euroblock connector and weather-resistant terminal boot. External dimensions shall be 11.06” Diameter x 19.7” Depth (281mm x 500mm). The total enclosure shall weigh 10 lbs. (4.53 kg) per unit. It shall share consistent voicing with other form factors and sizes within its product family so as to provide continuity of sonic signature when combined within a project. The loudspeaker shall be the Sonance Professional Series PS-P83T. No other system shall be acceptable unless the above combined performance specifications are equaled or exceeded.
