Overview

When the ceiling is high, the loudspeaker comes down on a cable. Every unit ships with two cables: one for hanging, one for safety. Gripple speed clamps, a terminal weather boot and a euroblock connector come too. The coaxial driver reproduces 75 Hz to 20 kHz (-3 dB).

Highlights

  • Coaxial full-range pendant loudspeaker for installation applications
  • 70 Watts continuous, 280 Watts peak power
  • 8" mineral-loaded polypropylene driver with nitrile rubber surround for enhanced durability and long-term reliability
  • 1" ferrofluid cooled soft dome neodymium high-frequency driver
  • Wide constant directivity dispersion for optimum coverage
  • UL 1480 certified for general signalling systems
  • UV and weather resistant UL 94 V-0 ABS front with plated steel fire can enclosure
  • Multiple transformer taps for 70 V and 100 V line systems or 16 Ohm direct input
  • Low insertion loss 60 W line transformer with easily accessible tapping switch
  • Optimised for LAB GRUPPEN low impedance LUCIA amplifiers with up to 8 OCV series loudspeakers per channel
  • All components weather resistant to IP64 for outdoor use
  • Semi-matte black finish fits unobtrusively in any environment
  • Powder-coated perforated steel mesh grille with dust protection
  • Quick and easy hanging system included for reduced installation time and cost
  • Weatherproof cable gland cover to protect Phoenix connectors and tap selector switch

    Matched to the line you run

    The 60 W transformer taps at 60 W, 30 W and 15 W, plus 7.5 W on 70.7 V lines. A rotary switch sets the tap. Low impedance is how it leaves the factory. Switch it before wiring in a 70/100 V amplifier.

    Wiring that loops on

    The amplifier lands on pins 1 and 2 of the euroblock connector. On a distributed line, pins 3 and 4 feed further speakers in parallel. Put the rubber seal back and it is closed again.
