Arch
itectural Specifications
The loudspeaker shall be of in-ceiling
design consisting of one 203 mm (8.0 in) con-
centric coaxial coated fiber driver,
25 mm (1.0 in) compression driver with a
50 mm (2.0 in) titanium diaphragm. The
low frequency voice coil diameter shall be
50 mm (2.0 in).
Performance specifications of a typical
production unit shall be as follows: Usable
frequency response shall extend from
52 Hz – 17.3 kHz. The loudspeaker shall be
available in separate 64 W transformer and
8 Ohm models. Taps shall be nominally
4 W @ 70.7 V (8 W @ 100 V), 8 W @ 70.7 V
(16 W @ 100 V), 16 W @ 70.7 V (32 W @ 100
V), 32 W @ 70.7 V (64 W @ 100 V), 64 W @
70.7 V (tap position not used @ 100 V). The
frequency-dividing network shall have
a crossover frequency of 1.8 kHz. Rated
power capacity of the components and
network shall be at least 125 Watts continu-
ous RMS power.
The HPCF8 backcan shall be con-
structed of formed steel and the baffle of
heat-resistant ABS material. The external
wiring shall be accomplished via hardwire
leads.
The system shall include a steel support
backing plate (tile bridge) to reinforce the
ceiling material and tile support rails. The
