Electro-Voice ID60D-8, ID60DT Specifications

ID60D-8

ID60DT

General Product Description

The ID60D-8 and ID60DT are heavy-duty compression
drivers for use in high-power public address installations.

The drivers employ rugged phenolic diaphragms, 2-inch
diameter voice coils and “rim centered” ferrite magnet
structures for long life and reliability under extreme operating
conditions.

A hinged cycolac rear housing for easy access and
connection to a sound system, via a BX conduit connector,
is provided together with a plug-in, field replaceable
diaphragm assembly.

The transformer model (ID60DT) includes connections for
25-V and 70-V distributed systems and a screwdriver
operated power-tap select switch.

The exterior is finished in durable, weatherproof paint, and
all metal parts have been tropicalized for resistance to high
humidity and fungus.

Ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, these drivers
are well suited for any installation requiring rugged,
high-power performance.

Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications

The loudspeaker(s) shall be of the compression-driver type
utilizing a rugged phenolic diaphragm and a
high-temperature rated, 2-in. diameter voice coil.

The loudspeaker(s) shall exhibit essentially flat power
response from 300 to 4,000 Hz with a smoothly rolled-off
response beyond. Their sensitivity, when mounted on a PH
horn, will be 108 dB (1 W/1 m) with a 500- to 5,000-Hz
pink-noise signal applied.

Heavy-Duty

Compression Drivers

The loudspeaker(s) shall be capable of handling a 60-watt,
500- to 5,000-Hz pink-noise signal with a 6-dB crest factor
for a period of 8 hours.

The loudspeaker(s) shall have a diameter of 14.3 cm (5.6
in.) and a depth of 16.2 cm (6.4 in.) They shall have a 2.41
cm (0.95 in.) throat opening with a 1 3/8-18 thread for
mounting.

The loudspeaker shall be the ID60DT, which includes a 70-V/
25-V line-matching transformer and weighs no more than 3
4 kg (7.4 lb), and the ID60D-8, which has a nominal
impedance of 8 ohms and weighs no more than 2.7 kg (5.9
lb).

Installation

Remove the plastic cap from the threaded throat of the driver and screw
the driver into the horn until firmly seated.

Install the horn/driver assembly in intended location, referring to the
instructions provided with the horn.

Loosen the captive screw in the center of the plastic cover at the rear of the
driver, and open the hinged cover to expose wiring. Note the O-ring in the
annular housing groove.

Loosen the gland nut in the side of the driver housing enough to admit the
loudspeaker wire/cable. Alternately, a 1/2-inch conduit fitting can be
substituted for the gland nut. However, the sealing washer must be retained.

For the ID60DT, connect the loudspeaker wires to the “com” terminal and
the appropriate line terminal (25 V or 70 V). For the ID60D-8, connect to the
“com” and “8-ohm” terminals.

Tighten the gland nut securely and check that the O-ring is positioned
correctly before closing the clear plastic cover.

Low-Frequency Driver Protection

When frequencies below the low-frequency cutoff for the horn assembly
are fed to the driver, excessive current may be drawn by the driver. For
protection of driver, amplifier, and transformer (if driver with built-in
transformer is used), capacitor(s) in series with driver, or transformer primary
are recommended. Table I indicates recommended values. The values

shown are for 200 Hz. Values for other frequencies can be determined by
using the formula:

For drivers without transformers: 8-ohm driver, 25 V - 100 mf 150 Vdc or

150 V non-polarized electrolytic, or two 150 Vdc electrolytics of two times
required value in series, back to back, for 70 volt lines.
