DESCRIPTION

The R.25-94Z is a 2-way, full-range loudspeaker
system designed to provide high quality voice and
music reproduction in applications requiring
extreme weather resistance. It is designed to
withstand long-term exposure to tough,
environmental conditions and to provide
performance normally associated only with indoor
loudspeakers.

The R.25-94Z has an 8-inch (203mm) cone LF
driver and a ¾-inch (20 mm) exit HF compression
driver with a weather resistant diaphragm. The HF
driver is coupled to a nominal 90° x 40° horn. The
HF assembly is coaxially mounted with the LF
driver. The enclosure and HF horn are molded of
UV resistant gray polyethylene. All exposed
hardware is stainless steel. The Weather-Stop™
grille assembly, retained by stainless steel screws
to the front of the enclosure, consists of three
layers.

ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATIONS

The loudspeaker system shall be a two-way, full-range bass reflex design with a single cast 8" and one ¾" exit HF driver
coaxially mounted on a 90° x 40° horn. Drivers shall be connected to an integral crossover with a crossover frequency of 2 kHz
with driver protection using DYNA-TECH active protection circui try. The cabinet shall be a rotomolded polyeth ylene enclosure
providing weather and UV resistance with a three-la yer weather resistant grille. The input connection shall be one 12' (4m)
SJOW #16-gauge cable with stripped ends. The enclosure shall incorporate five M8 rigging points for multiple mounting
options. In addition, the loudspeaker will be supplied with one stainless steel yoke bracket. The system shall have an
amplitude response of 160 Hz - 12.5 kHz (+/- 3 dB), input capabilit y of 40 V RMS, 97 dB Sensitivit y at one meter and 2.83 V, 8
Ohm nominal impedance. The nominal dispersion shall be 90° H x 40° V from 2 kHz to 10 kHz. The dimensions of the
enclosure are defined as 11.3" x 11.3" x 13.3" (HWD) at a weight of 20 lbs.
