The LBC 3951/11 has a perforated metal grille with a plastic
surround, finished in an attractive off-white RAL color. The
unobtrusive styling of this loudspeaker complements today’s
interior lighting.
The loudspeaker feature a very wide opening angle, which
means fewer units are required to cover a given area. The wide
frequency range means better speech and music reproduction.
The unit is supplied with a 100 V matching transformer with
taps on the primary winding for full-power, half-power,
quarter-power and eighth-power radiation.
The loudspeaker (with special treated paper cone), is IPx4
