Saros® speakers by Crestron® deliver professional grade performance and
flexible installation in a range of popular sizes for demanding commercial
applications. Solid construction, easy installation, and high-end
components are hallmarks of the Saros speaker line. Ideal for use in
background or foreground music, paging, and sound reinforcement
systems, Saros speakers are engineered to achieve smooth, even
coverage, high output, and clear, natural sound quality through the
employment of horn-loaded titanium dome tweeters, high-efficiency
damped cone woofers, ported enclosures, and precisely tuned crossovers.
The Saros PD8T model is a 2-way pendant speaker featuring an 8 inch
woofer and wide-dispersion, horn-loaded 1 inch dome tweeter. A built-in
60 Watt multi-tap transformer allows for use with 70 and 100 Volt
distributed speaker systems. Power handling at 8 Ohms is 150 Watts
(program), with a wide frequency response from 50 Hz to 20 kHz (±3 dB).
The Saros PD8T is designed to be suspended from a ceiling truss in an
open-ceiling environment. Its clean, contoured enclosure achieves an
attractive appearance in restaurants and night clubs, retail spaces, houses
of worship, convention facilities, universities, and office buildings.
Weatherized construction allows for use in outdoor entertainment venues,
patios, and swimming pools. To facilitate installation, a 10 ft (3 m) length of
wire rope with attached snap hook is supplied. Securing the wire rope to
the truss and adjusting it to the desired length is accomplished quickly and
easily using the provided Gripple® self-locking wire rope grip.
To achieve its sleek, sculpted appearance, the Saros PD8T employs a
durable ABS plastic housing and “zero-bezel” frameless grille. Composed
of steel, the grille is held in place by powerful magnets, eliminating any
visible screws or other hardware. A safety tether is included to prevent the
grille from ever presenting a falling hazard. Setting the 70/100V
transformer tap is performed via a screwdriver-adjustable control located
on the speaker baffle behind the grille.
Wiring connections are provided on the top of the speaker adjacent to the
suspension rigging point. Connecting the wiring is facilitated using a
detachable screw terminal block with provisions for easy parallel wiring
in a multi-speaker application. A weather boot is included to protect the
wiring connections from moisture.
The PD8T is topped off with a top cover, which conceals the wiring
connections and suspension hardware for a very clean, contoured
appearance. Saros PD8T speakers are available in white or black, and can
be painted to blend with the surrounding architecture. They are priced and
sold individually.
