General Description

The FAP33T-W's 135° dispersion angle can reduce the number of loudspeakers necessary to achieve coverage in distributed systems with low ceilings. High quality construction 3" coaxial cone type driver includes a 20mm voice coil and high efficiency composite cone with polymer coated cloth surround. A high sensitivity of 89.7dB average means less power may be required to achieve the desired SPL.

This loudspeaker is factory assembled in an optimally tuned and ported deep drawn enclosure and includes a specially designed 16-watt low saturation 70.7V / 100V transformer. A convenient front mounted selector switch allows tap selection without the need to remove the loudspeaker from the ceiling. This switch also includes a transformer bypass setting for 6Ω direct coupled operation.

Three years of development has produced the most innovative, easily installed, and safety-secure ceiling loudspeakers in the professional audio market. Patented Safety First Mounting System protects from over-torquing the mounting doglegs during installation and potentially cracking or breaking the mounting system. The results are NO install tools required, NO over-torqued doglegs, NO rusted screws and QUICK installation.

Applications

Retail stores, restaurants, recreational facilities, hotels, convention centers, and casinos have all changed their thinking on how an in-ceiling loudspeaker should perform. For many years, good enough was a loudspeaker that just played dull and lifeless sound. In today's world, good enough is no longer accepted because building owners want to increase their customer's experience by providing them the best of everything - including superb sound. The improved waveguide design provides wider coverage than previous models. The benefit is cost savings due to fewer loudspeakers required, while still maintaining uniform sound throughout. The front port has been optimized to enhance low-frequency response and provide deeper bass. Additionally, the FAP33T-W is safety listed to both UL1480 and UL2043.

In-ceiling loudspeakers are subjected to various climate and humidity environments. Competitive offerings use steel screws that easily rust and fail due to humidity exposure. The FAP33T-W provides corrosion-free, no-worry operation, since it uses no metal screws holding the doglegs in position.
