Architectural Specifications
The loudspeaker shall be of the two-way type comprising a single surface-mount injection-molded ABS enclosure containing one 4” (100mm) polypropylene cone, butyl rubber surround low frequency transducer and one coaxially mounted 1” (25mm) cloth dome, chambered ferrofluid cooled high frequency transducer. It shall utilize a powder coated corrosion-resistant aluminum grille with a locking clip fit. Frequency range shall be 75Hz – 20KHz (-3dB). Total power handling shall be 30 Watts continuous pink noise and 60 Watts program. Sensitivity measured with 2.83 volts input at 1 meter on axis averaged between 75Hz – 20KHz shall be 87dB. The unit shall be supplied with a line-matching transformer suitable for 100 volt or 70 volt input signal with a front-mounted control allowing user selectable power taps of 30W, 15W, 7.5W and 3.8W (70V) and an 8 Ohm bypass. The system shall include a FastMount® bracket that allows for a full 180° of pivot while keeping the enclosure less than 1” away from the mounting surface. Wire shall be terminated on the front of the enclosure via a four-pin Euroblock connector with loop-through and fed through a Protected Access Connection Terminal. The system shall meet UL 1480 (UEAY) and UL 2239 Standards, conform to MIL-STD-810 for humidity, salt spray, temperature and UV IEC 529, and meet or exceed an IPX4 splash rating. External dimensions shall be 9.25” Height x 5.47” Width x 4.8” Depth (235mm x 139mm x 122mm). The total enclosure shall weigh 6.8 lbs. (3.08 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-S43T MKII. No other system shall be acceptable unless the above combined performance specifications are equaled or exceeded.
