This wall mounted speaker can be used in indoor/outdoor environments and delivers a quality stereo sound over a wide area. It can be used in residential and commercial applications, and in both 8ohm and 70V/100V installations.
The woofer is made of polypropylene and has a 1 inch titanium dome tweeter which provides premium and long lasting sound quality along with an extremely smooth high frequency response. High-grade rubber edges increase the speakers performance and quality while the sophisticated crossover works to deliver deep bass. They also offer a+/- 3dB adjustment for further customized listening.
The speaker has rust resistant aluminum grilles and is IP65 rated which makes it both dust and water resistant- perfect for outdoor use.
What are some of the major differences between 70V/100V and 8 ohm speaker systems?
Commercial locations typically use 70V/100V systems when more than a few pairs of speakers are required.
70V/100V systems are daisy chained together, running the wire from one speaker to the next as opposed to 8-ohm speakers which are each home run back to the amplifier.
Multiple speakers can be used in 70V/100V systems without worrying about impedance issues which can overload and damage an 8-ohm amplifier.
70V/100V systems play in mono not stereo therefore speaker placement is less critical.
70V/100V systems allow for flexibility in how many speakers are run off a single amplifier by adjusting the wattage tap at each speaker.
How do I Set Up a 70-Volt Audio System?
The total number of speakers multiplied by the tap value cannot exceed the output power (in watts) of the 70V/100V amplifier.
For example, 5 speakers using 16W taps will need an amplifier with a minimum of 80W of power (5 x 16W).
A good rule of thumb is to select an amplifier with at least 20% greater power than the minimum. In this instance, the amplifier should have 100W of power.
