Architecture & Engineering Specications
The Ceiling Speaker System shall consist of a 165 mm (6.5") mineral loaded mid bass driver with coaxially mounted 20 mm (0.79") high frequency
unit and passive frequency dividing network mounted in a vented, injection moulded, paintable front bae in UL94V-0 ABS material.
The backcan shall be constructed of zinc plated steel. A termination box shall be integrated with the backcan, a removable locking connector
with screw terminals for secure wire termination with “loop through” facility shall be provided. Strain relief will be provided by a clamping
mechanism for use with plenum rated cable or conduit. A safety ring is located on the rear of the backcan for a load bearing safety bond.
Performance of the ceiling speaker shall meet or exceed the following criteria: The system shall have a conical coverage pattern of 115 degrees.
Frequency response measured on axis shall be 74 Hz -20 kHz (-10 dB from rated sensitivity, measured in an IEC bae in an anechoic chamber)
with no equalization. Sensitivity shall be 90 dB (1 W @ 1 m). Long term power handling capacity as dened in EIA-426B test shall be 50 W,
recommended amplier power 100 W. The nominal system impedance shall be 8 Ω (in low impedance setting).
The ceiling speaker system shall be equipped with a 30 W high performance line transformer for use in 70.7 or 100 Volt distributed audio systems
with 30, 15, 7.5, 3.8* watt taps available. An easily accessible rotary switch located on the front bae shall be available for selecting transformer
and low impedance settings. A weather resistant perforated aluminium grille covers the transducer and switch.
Two support rails and one C-Ring shall be included with the ceiling speaker system. The front face diameter shall not exceed 254 mm (10"),
overall depth from the front of the ceiling to the top of the cable clamp shall not exceed 233 mm (9.17"). The template cut out diameter shall be
222 mm (8.74").
The Ceiling Speaker System shall be the.....CVS601.
