LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEMS
Thank you for purchasing the R.5COAX loudspeaker. Although simple to use, please refer to the following information to
obtain maximum performance and reliability for your R.5COAX. Included with the R.5COAX loudspeaker are the
mounting bracket, multi-angle aiming strap and related hardware.
DESCRIPTION
The R.5COAX is a two-way, full-range loudspeaker system designed to provide high quality sound reproduction both indoors and 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 loudspeaker systems.
The R.5COAX has a 12-inch (305 mm) cone LF driver and a 1-inch (25 mm) exit, non-metallic diaphragm, Ferrofluid-cooled HF driver
mounted on a 60°x60° or 90°x90° horn. Ferrofluid is used to prevent corrosion, improve thermal power handling, and reduce power
compression. The R.5COAX employs a high power passive crossover defined at 2 kHz. The loudspeaker’s wide range, smooth frequency
response, and high efficiency ensure both high fidelity music reproduction and superb projection of clear, intelligible speech with very low
distortion. The enclosure is constructed of UV resistant, roto-molded, gray polyethylene. All exposed hardware is stainless steel or aluminum.
The Weather-Stop™ grille assembly, retained by stainless steel screws to the front of the enclosure, consists of three layers. An exterior
perforated stainless steel layer is backed by a layer of open cell foam. These two layers are backed by a third layer of 100 x 100 wires per
square inch stainless steel mesh which prevents direct water intrusion while providing acoustic transparency.
INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL: The input is via a #16 AWG SJOW cable (5 conductor 18 AWG for T versions) rated for outdoor use. It is approximately 12 feet
(4 m) in length. The white jacketed conductor is the positive or + signal wire and the black is the negative or – signal wire. Ensure the
connection you make to this cable is suitably weather-sealed. The gland nut that attaches the cable to the lower rear of the enclosure is sealed
at the factory and should not be removed as this can compromise the weather integrity of the enclosure.
The recommended amplifier power is from 420W to 600W at 8 Ohms for maximum performance. A transformer version (“T” suffix) with a
200W, 70/100V transformer is available. For 70V lines the input taps are 200W, 100W, 50W and 25W. For 100V lines the taps are 200W,
100W and 50W.
A 24 dB/Oct 60 Hz high pass filter is the recommended signal processing for the R.5COAX models to prevent over-excursion of the LF driver
from lower frequencies that they are not designed to reproduce.
Any driver or crossover service required is done from the front of the enclosure by removing the grille. Remove only the 16 screws around the
edge of the grille (4 along each side). Removing the speaker mounting plate accesses the crossover. The crossover is a connected integral part
of the speaker assembly.
MECHANICAL: Five, integral 3/8-16 threaded mounting points on the four sides and the back of the enclosure mate with the included yoke
bracket or can be used for a custom fabricated mounting. As shipped, the unused holes have plugs that can be removed if these holes are
needed for mounting or attaching the aiming strap. The plugs are purposely designed to "catch" on the mounting point threads and will be
somewhat difficult to remove. Reinstall removed plugs into any unused holes, such as where the included yoke bracket was attached for
shipment. The factory yoke attachment uses studs and a nut/lockwasher/flatwasher combination rather than bolts. This allows removal of the
yoke to attach it to its supporting structure while leaving the studs on the enclosure. This procedure will make it easier to reinstall the R.5COAX
to the yoke without the need to both hold the enclosure and align bolts with the mounting points.
IMPORTANT NOTES: When tightening mounting hardware in the mounting points, do not use excessive force. The mounting
point holes are approximately 7/16" (11 mm) deep. Any bolts used should not extend into the hole more than 3/8" (9.5 mm). If they
do either you may not be able to tighten the bolt to the mounting or the threaded insert may dislodge in the effort to further tighten
the bolt. Ensure that the hardware used to attach the included yoke or other mounting to the supporting structure and that the
supporting structure itself are load rated for the intended use and suitably weather resistant.
We recommend angling the R.5COAX loudspeaker at least 15 degrees
other precipitation compromising the performance of the loudspeaker.
