12P150
150-Watt 12" Coaxial Compression Driver
Quality Features
Handles 150W input with 96dB sensitivity.
Competes on a performance level with
professional-grade speakers and provides a
superior price-to-value ratio.
Match with Lowell's architectural grilles and acoustic
backboxes (2-6cu.ft.) or specify the 12P150 driver premounted in Lowell's
iMountTMSeries high performance
systems for suspended installation (see page 4).
Also available in a UL1480 General Signaling assembly
Model WB12-12P150-TM100 with mounted grille
(WB12) and required backbox (ULXCP1210).
Optional transformer available with 100W or 32W trans-
former in high performance (TLM Series) or critical use
audio (TLS Series) versions (see specs on page 2).
Description
Lowell Model 12P150 is the largest of the P-Series high output,
high quality pro'mercial speakers. This 150-watt 12-inch
assembly features a robust motor structure with a 38oz. magnet and a 2-inch voice coil wound on a Kapton former. The
compression driver tweeter is coaxially mounted behind the
woofer and provides increased power handling with greater
efficiency than a conventional dome tweeter. A built-in
crossover network with a third-order high-pass and 2nd-order
low pass filter accomplishes proper frequency division between
the two drivers. Frequency response extends down to 40Hz,
and sensitivity is a highly efficient 96dB at 1watt, 1 meter.
The 12P150 is engineered for high energy and/or high ceiling
applications such as clubs and sports bars, airport terminals
and concourses, hotel ballrooms, and convention center exhibit
floors. For distributed systems, 100W or 32W transformers are
available in high performance and critical audio versions.
The loudspeaker frame is stamped 18-gauge steel with a
corrosion-resistant black electrocoat finish.
Model 12P150 is manufactured in the United States of
America and meets or exceeds all applicable EIA standards.
Lowell also manufactures an extensive selection of architec-
tural ceiling grilles, acoustic, protective, and special applica-
tion backboxes and baffles to facilitate speaker installation
wherever audio communications are desired.
