Description

The Altec Lansing DTS200P1 is a two-way,
weather-resistant factory-assembled,
vented-bass. Duplex* system. This compact
system features high sensitivity, high-output
capability and point-source alignment, to
gether with excellent directivity control
down to 1,000 Hz. The coverage at 1,000
Hz is 110° horizontal by 100° vertical, and
the system’s nominal coverage is 90° hori
zontal by 90° vertical. The bass-reflex port
ing extends the low-frequency response to
below 80 Hz or lower if multiple units are
used. The DTS200PI consists of a 305-mm
(12.0-inch) high-power, low-frequency
driver with a coaxially mounted 25.4-mm (1-

inch) compression driver utilizing a 90° x
90°constant-directivity hom. Electrical con
nection to the driver is made by a parallel,

4-pin Neutrik Speakon* connector^ The sys

tem is provided with a 1,500-Hz passive
crossover featuring tweeter protection. The
enclosure is injection molded from white
high-impact polypropylene and lined with
sound-absorbing polyester fill. Threaded 8­mm insert mounting points are provided
to conveniently attach the Altec Lansing

MblOO, Mb200, Mb200W, Mb300W or
МЬЗОО suspension kits*. The system may
then be hung as a single unit or as part of a

cluster. The finish of the enclosure is black
textured. The grille is full-face, foam-backed,
black powder-coated metal and is fastened
to the front of the enclosure with screws.

A 100-watt transformer version (DTS200PIX)
is also available. The DTS200PIX consists
of the same components as the DTS200P1
with the addition of a 100-watts transformer

installed internally.
