Architectural Specifications
The loudspeaker shall be of the two-way type comprising a single pendant mount enclosure containing one 8” (203mm) aluminum cone, santoprene surround low frequency transducer with ferrite magnet and 60.55mm voice coil, and one 1.4” (36mm) coaxially mounted aluminum dome compression driver high frequency transducer with neodymium magnet, 36mm voice coil, and 1” (25mm) exit with 1500Hz crossover frequency. It shall feature interchangeable collar and horn directivity options for flexible coverage patterns. Frequency range shall be 41.4Hz – 20KHz (+/-3dB). Long term power handling shall be 150 Watts continuous (600 Watts Peak) for 100 hours per IEC standards, with program power of 300 Watts (1200 Watts Peak) for two hours. The unit shall be supplied with a laminated core line matching transformer suitable for 100 volt or 70 volt with control allowing user selectable power taps of 120W, 60W, 30W, and 15W (70V), 120W, 60W, and 30W (100V), and an 8 ohm bypass. The enclosure shall be constructed from polypropylene plastic (UL94V-0) with IPX4-rated water resistance suitable for indoor applications. The grille shall be constructed from steel. The speaker shall be suitable for commercial installation per UL1480A standards. Wire shall be terminated via four pin Euroblock connector with loop output connections. Suspension points shall be provided on the back enclosure to allow secure pendant mounting. The back enclosure cubic volume shall be .83 cubic feet (23.5 cubic liters) with port tuning at 41.1Hz. Coverage pattern from 1kHz to 10kHz shall be 120 degrees axis symmetric (collar configuration) or 80 degrees axis symmetric (horn configuration) with directivity factor (Q) of 5.7 (collar) or 8.65 (horn) averaged from 1kHz to 16kHz and directivity (DI) of 7.5dB (collar) or 9dB (horn) averaged from 1kHz to 16kHz. Operating temperature range shall be -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C). External dimensions shall be 11.17” Diameter x 24.69” Depth (283.8mm x 627mm). The total enclosure shall weigh 23.55 lbs. (10.68 kg) per unit with grille. It shall have durable engineering and accurate sonic performance to deliver both good intelligibility and musicality with extended low frequency response. The loudspeaker shall be the Sonance Professional Series PS-P85T. No other system shall be acceptable unless the above combined performance specifications are equaled or exceeded.
