Altec lansing SLC408 User Manual

For the past twenty-five years, Altec Lansing’s CD408 has been one of the

most highly specified and installed professional-grade ceiling speaker in the

world. With the model SLC408-16T, Altec Lansing introduces the king of all

premium 8” Duplex high fidelity ceiling speakers in a preassembled, quick-

mount package.

The SLC408-16T features a sensitivity rating of 98 dB SPL and a 16 watt

premium grade transformer. This means that our 4 watt tap delivers output

equal to the 30 watt tap from a ceiling speaker rated at 89 dB SPL. At the

16 watt tap, the SLC408-16T generates 110 dB SPL (@ 1 m). In a high ceiling

installation, no other 8” Duplex®ceiling speaker performs better than the

SLC408-16T.

When clients demand the absolute best in high fidelity, intelligibility and

efficiency, choose the industry’s premier eight-inch Duplex®ceiling speaker.

The SLC408-16T has no competition. It’s simply the best.

With broadband sensitivity of 98 dB SPL and a peak
of 104 dB SPL at 2 kHz (the intelligibility
frequency), the SLC408-16T is your best choice for
high ceiling applications. The +10 dB to +12 dB
