FEATURES
• 1" Exit compression high frequency driver coupled to a specially designed conical
wave-guide horn provides exceptional output & accurate high frequency reproduction
• High efficiency cone woofer is optimally matched with a specially designed
crossover to insure even transition between components
• 90 Degree conical dispersion (@ 2000 Hz)
• Includes factory installed, 60W, 70.7/100V transformer
• Perfectly suited for use with Atlas Sound "Q" Series enclosures
APPLICATIONS
The 8CXT60 is optimized for high-ceiling applications such as arenas, convention
centers, gymnasiums and auditoriums. The extreme high efficiency and higher "Q" of
the 8CXT60, with its powerful 8" speaker and 1" exit compression driver, provides
the increased available SPL often required in these high ceiling applications. In
70.7V/100V systems, this high efficiency can also result in lower tap settings, which
can conserve amplifier power.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Model 8CXT60 is a 150 watt loudspeaker that combines an 8" diameter, low frequency transducer and a 1" exit, true compression driver. The unit features a curvilinear,
polypropylene cone for lower harmonic distortion, and a built-in crossover network for
proper frequency transition between the two reproducers. Both the low frequency
reproducer and the HF driver feature permanently aligned voice coils to assure distortion free performance. The copper voice coils have aluminum formers. Model
8CXT60 operates within a frequency response range of 48 Hz to 18 kHz (±10dB)
with a sensitivity of 92dB and a dispersion angle of 90°. The loudspeaker meets
functional and aesthetic application requirements by mounting a wide variety of
round and square Atlas Sound baffles and enclosures. For applications requiring
extended low-end performance, Atlas Sound offers a selection of 1 and 1.5 cu. ft.
enclosures (Q408, QS408, Q418, Q428-SA), allowing for a complete high output
solution. (see Q Series specification sheet #SL3-1091). In general, loudspeaker performance is significantly enhanced by larger back box size.
Model 8CXT60 includes a factory installed, high efficiency, 60W, 70.7/100V step down
line transformer. Power taps are provided at 7.5, 15, 30 and 60 Watts (@70.7V).
