Introduction
Overview
The AS104 / AS106 comes in a pair of 4” / 6.5” coaxial 2- ay ceiling
loudspeakers that deliver decent sonic performance. Each speaker ships ith a
4” / 6.5” oofer, 20 mm dome t eeter, and 30 W RMS, 60 W peak (8 Ω) / 60
W RMS, 120 W peak (8 Ω) po er handling capability. Excellent and
consistent sound quality is ensured by taking advantages of its 100 - 20 kHz /
80 - 20 kHz band idth and ide coverage, allo ing less speakers used to cover
the listening area to lo er the cost of the system installed.
The loudspeaker contains a matching transformer, running comfortably on 70
/ 100 V lines or at 8 Ω to suit various application demands. Phase issues are
minimized as a result of the adoption of the coaxial neodymium magnetic
driver, making sound aves ith various frequency bands easier to be added
together instead of canceling each other out. Made of UL94-V0-compliant
flame retardant materials, the housing, together ith the Zinc-coated steel
backcan, improve safety for applications here flame and fire protection is of
the highest importance. When it comes to installation, each speaker features a
cutout template for quick and easy post construction installation and can be
secured ith its dog-leg mounting system. The paintable magnetic grille
assures effortless installation and cleaning hile giving unobtrusive
appearance in any room design.
AS104 / AS106 is ideal for residence and enterprise-grade audio applications,
such as auditoriums, houses of orship, sports venues, and any small or mid-
sized commercial spaces that require a clear and intelligible sound solution
ithout compromise on life safety.
