CF208 Series
GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Altec Lansing Professional CF208 series is the result of
dedicated research into professional applications of speech
intelligibility and high fidelity music reproduction. The CF208
family is an excellent choice for ceiling applications in
educational facilities, office buildings, commercial facilities and
shopping malls. The moisture resistant 8 inch / 200 mm speaker
also has a corrosion-resistant frame for rust prevention. To aid
in the dispersion of higher frequencies, the loudspeaker
employs an acoustically isolated free-edge cone. The optional
transformers (4 and 8 Watts) feature a low < 1.0 dB insertion
loss. Our international versions feature a < 0.6 dB insertion loss
4 W and 8 W 70 V/100 V tranformer. For convenience, the WG
version features a factory-installed round white metal grille and
8 Watt line transformer.

ENCLOSURES AND BAFFLES
The CF208-series ceiling speakers will fit on standard
8 inch (200 mm) baffles, enclosures and back boxes.
All measurements were made in a standard AES baffle
for a 12 inch driver. The driver was housed in a 1.0 ft3(0.028
m3) enclosure.
Please note that larger volume enclosures will result in altered
low frequency performance.
SAFETY CONSIDERATION
1. Appropriate connectors with suitable ratings must be used
to make all installation connections.
2. All unused taps must be insulated with suitable insulation.
3. Transformers and speaker combinations must be supplied
by a suitable amplifier incorporating ungrounded outputs
only and reinforced insulation (as per IEC60065) from
output to mains.
ACCESSORIES
Altec Lansing recommends use of our 8 inch (200 mm) round
and square metal enclosures, grilles and tile bridge. The CD208
Series will also fit on standard industry ceiling speaker
hardware.
