DESCRIPTION

TOA’s F-240 and F-160 Series of foreground/back­ground music speakers are ideal for applications
requiring both sonic quality and designer styling.
These two-way, ported systems provide a wide fre­quency range and high power handling capacity­in an attractive, acoustically-efficient polypropylene
enclosure.

Each of the F-240 and F-160 Series includes four

models-two dark gray and two white, indicated by

the suffix “G” or “W”. Models with the suffix “GM” or

“WM” include a built-in 70/100 volt matching trans­former. In all, eight models are available to match a
variety of job requirements.

The F-240 Series features a
titanium dome tweeter, which includes an acoustic
equalizer and a 90" x 90" CD horn for uniform sound
distribution at high frequencies. Frequency response
is 65Hz - 20kHz, with crossover at 4kHz. Sensitivity is
rated at 92dB (1W/1m).

The F-160 Series features a 5" woofer and a 1"
dome tweeter, which also includes an acoustic equal­izer and a 90" x 90" CD horn. Frequency response is

100Hz - 20kHz, with crossover at 4kHz. Sensitivity is

rated at 91dB, measured in whole-space (1W/1m).

Both the F-240G/W and F-160G/W feature a continuous
pink-noise power rating of 50 watts at 8

tinuous program power rating of 150 watts at 8

in protection circuitry guards all components against

overloads.

The F-240 and F-160 Series are engineered to com-

bine maximum efficiency with a flat frequency response
when mounted in a half- or quarter-space environment.
The typical position for a foreground/background
speaker is against a wall or at the intersection of a wall
and a ceiling or second wall. This is the acoustical
environment for which the new F-Series is optimized.

The F-240GM/WM and the F-160GM/WM feature an
internal line matching transformer with four impedance
selections for 100 volt line and five selections for 70
volt line, adjustable via a rotary switch under the rear
cover. These four models each have five 70 volt trans­former taps ranging from 2.5 watts to 30 watts.

All systems are easily mounted in vertical or horizon­tal positions with a wide range of optional mounting
brackets, and a logo badge on the front grille rotates to
match the enclosure’s orientation. A rear cover with a
cable feed slot protects connection terminals.

(F-240GM/WM); 7.3 lbs/3.3 kg. (F-160G/M); and 8.6 lbs./3.9 kg.
(F-160GM/WM).

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The F-240G/W and F-160G/W feature built-in over­load protection circuitry. A sudden drop of either the
high or low frequencies during speaker operation

indicates the protection circuit has been activated.
After approximately 3 - 30 seconds, the system will
automatically reset itself. If the protection circuit acti­vates again, reduce the system volume.
