MOUNTING INFORMATIONS
Overall diameter 387 mm (15,24 in)
N. of mounting holes 8 NOTES
Mounting holes diameter 7,15 mm (0,28 in) (1) AES power is determined according to AES2-1984 (r2003) standard
(2) Program power rating is measured in 125 lt enclosure tuned at 50Hz using a 40-400Hz
Bolt circle diameter 370-371 mm (14,55-14,6 in)
band limited pink noise test signal with 50% duty cycle, applied for 2 hours.
Front mount baffle cutout 353 mm (13,90 in) (3) The peak power rating represents the maximum permitted instantaneous peak power level
diameter over a maximum period of 10ms which will be withstood by the loudspeaker without damage.
Rear mount baffle cutout 357 mm (14,06 in) (4) Sensitivity represents the averaged value of acoustic output as measured on the forward
diameter central axis of cone, at distance 1m from the baffle panel, when connected to 2,83V sine wave
test signal swept between 100Hz and 500Hz with the test specimen mounted in the same
Total depth 174 mm (6,85 in) enclosure as given for (1) above.
Flange and gasket thickness 19,5 mm (0,76 in) (5) Frequency range is given as the band of frequencies delineated by the lower and upper
Net weight 6,8 kg (15 lb) limits where the output level drops by 10 dB below the rated sensitivity in half space
Shipping weight 7,6 kg (16,78 lb) environment.
CardBoard Packaging 405x405x214 mm (15,94x15.94x8,43 in) (6) Power compression represents the loss of sensitivity for the specified power, measured from
dimensions 50-500 Hz, after a 5 min pink noise preconditioning test at the specified power.
(7) Thiele - Small parameters are measured after the test specimen has been conditioned by
1000W AES power and represent the expected long term parameters after a short period of use.
(8) Linear Math. Xmax is calculated as (Hvc-Hg)/2 + Hg/4 where Hvc is the coil depth and Hg is
the gap depth.
