Architectural Specifications
The loudspeaker shall be of the two-way type comprising a single surface 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 outdoor applications. The baffle and grille shall be constructed from polypropylene plastic and steel respectively. 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 top, bottom, and back of the enclosure to allow secure surface mounting with optional C-bracket. The back enclosure cubic volume shall be 0.83 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 19.47” Height x 11.57” Width x 10.25” Depth (494.5mm x 293.9mm x 260.3mm) without C-bracket, or 20.86” Height x 11.57” Width x 11.02” Depth (529.8mm x 293.9mm x 279.9mm) with C-bracket. The total enclosure shall weigh 29.3 lbs. (13.29 kg) per unit.
