Description

The Alice Lansing DTS-640 is a three-way, all-hom-loaded, factory-assembled system with a coaxial mid/high section. The sys­ tem can be configured as a iriamp system or as a biamp system using the internal mid/ high passive crossover.*' This compact sys­ tem features high sensitivity, high output ca­ pability and poini-.source alignment, together with excellent directivity control down to 800 Hz. The coverage at 1,000 Hz is 80° hori­ zontal by 75° vertical, and the system’s nomi­ nal coverage is 60° horizontal by 40° verti­ cal. The horn-loaded bass section extends the low-frequency response to below 60 Hz, or lower if multiple units are used. The DTS-640 consists of two 381-mm (15-inch) highpower, low-frequency drivers with a coaxial mid-/high-frequency section consi.sting of a high-efficiency 254-mm (10-inch) midrange driver together with a 25.4 mm (I-in.) neody­ mium compression driver. Both drivers uti­ lize 60° X 40° constant-directivity horns. Electrical connection to each driver is made by large screw terminals able to accept up to 10-gauge wire, or two parallel. 8-pin female Neulrik Speakon® connectors. The .system should be used with the Altec Lansing 2400A digital loudspeaker proces.sor. The recom­ mended crossover frequencies arc 210 Hz and 1.6 kHz. The enclosure is constructed

from 19-mm (0.75-in.) thick thoroughly braced 14-ply birch plywood lined with sound-absorbent glass wool. A complete four-point hanging sy.siem is provided for safe suspension of the DTS-640. The sys­ tem may then be hung as a single unit or as pan of a cluster. The finish of the enclosure is textured black paint which can be painted to complement any interior. The grille is con­ structed from 16-gauge black, powdercoated steel and is backed with a weatherresistant foam.

The DTS-640 can be used individually or in arrays to create compact, high-output and di­ rectivity-controlled systems for use in churche,s. auditoriums, hotels and civic centers.
