General Description
The FAP33T-W’s 135° dispersion angle can reduce the number of
loudspeakers necessary to achieve coverage in distributed systems
with low ceilings. High quality construction 3" coaxial cone type driver
includes a 20mm voice coil and high efficiency composite cone with
polymer coated cloth surround. A high sensitivity of 89.7dB average
means less power may be required to achieve the desired SPL.
This loudspeaker is factory assembled in an optimally tuned and ported
deep drawn enclosure and includes a specially designed 16-watt low
saturation 70.7V / 100V transformer. A convenient front mounted
selector switch allows tap selection without the need to remove the
loudspeaker from the ceiling. This switch also includes a transformer
bypass setting for 6Ω direct coupled operation.
Three years of development has produced the most innovative, easily
installed, and safety-secure ceiling loudspeakers in the professional
audio market. Patented Safety First Mounting System protects from
over-torquing the mounting doglegs during installation and potentially
cracking or breaking the mounting system. The results are NO install
tools required, NO over-torqued doglegs, NO rusted screws and QUICK
installation.
• Front Mounted Tap Selector Switch for Easy System Tuning
Adjustments Include Transformer Bypass Setting for 6Ω Direct
Coupled Operation
• Easy Installation in Drop Tile or Sheetrock Ceilings Via C-Ring / V-Rail
Tile Bridge (Included)
• Safety Listed to UL1480 and UL2043
Applications
Retail stores, restaurants, recreational facilities, hotels, convention
centers, and casinos have all changed their thinking on how an in-ceiling
loudspeaker should perform. For many years, good enough was a
loudspeaker that just played dull and lifeless sound. In today’s world,
good enough is no longer accepted because building owners want to
increase their customer’s experience by providing them the best of
everything - including superb sound. The improved waveguide design
provides wider coverage than previous models. The benefit is cost
savings due to fewer loudspeakers required, while still maintaining
uniform sound throughout. The front port has been optimized to enhance
low-frequency response and provide deeper bass. Additionally, the
FAP33T-W is safety listed to both UL1480 and UL2043.
In-ceiling loudspeakers are subjected to various climate and humidity
environments. Competitive offerings use steel screws that easily rust
and fail due to humidity exposure. The FAP33T-W provides corrosion-free,
no-worry operation, since it uses no metal screws holding the doglegs
in position.
