ARCHITECTS' AND ENGINEERS' SPECIFICATIONS

The loudspeaker system shall be a two-way, full-range bass reflex trapezoidal design with two 8 in. woofers and one 1 in. exit HF
dome driver coaxially mounted to the upper LF speaker. Drivers shall be connected to an integral crossover with a crossover
frequency of 2 kHz and integral over-current protection circuitry using high positive current coefficient resistors. There shall be one
NL4 compatible [not on 'T' model] and one two-terminal [five-terminal] barrier strip input connectors [and one 70V, 60W
transformer]. The loudspeaker enclosure shall be MDF with a 16 gauge perforated steel grille {with a white cloth cover} and finished
with black {white} painted finish. The system shall have an amplitude response of 60 Hz to 20 kHz (+/- 5 dB), input capability of
28V RMS, 86 dB sensitivity at one meter and 2V / 4 ohms [83, 167, 333, and 667 ohms] nominal impedance. The nominal dispersion
shall be 90° H x 90° V from 2 kHz to 8 kHz. The loudspeaker shall be 19.5 in. (495 mm) H x 9.7 in. (247 mm) W (front) x 5.6 in.
(143 mm) W (rear) x 12.3 in. (314 mm) D and weigh 24.5 lbs. (11.1 kg).
