Architectural & Engineering Specs:
The two-way full range loudspeaker system shall incorporate a 12” LF transducer and a 2” (51mm) voice coil HF compression
driver. The LF driver shall be mounted in a vented enclosure tuned for optimum low-frequency response. The HF driver shall be
loaded on a constant-directivity horn with a nominal coverage pattern of 80° (h) x 55° (v). An internal passive filter network shall
provide acoustical crossover and system equalization. Input panel shall easily change from passive to biamp operation via
internal connector. System frequency response shall vary no more than +/-3 dB from 50 Hz to 15 kHz measured on axis. The
loudspeaker shall produce a sound pressure level (SPL) of 97 dB on axis at 1 meter. It shall handle 300 watts of amplifier power
long term (EIA Standard), and shall have a nominal impedance of 8 ohms. The loudspeaker enclosure shall be trapezoidal in
shape. It shall be constructed of 7-ply cross-grain-laminated plywood and shall employ extensive internal bracing. It shall be
finished in aliphatic polyurethane. Input connectors shall be two at 2 terminal barrier strips. A total of twelve 3/8-16 threaded
mounting/suspension points shall be provided, (three each on top and bottom, two per side, two on rear). The front of the
loudspeaker shall be cloth coverable with a powder-coated perforated 16 GA steel grille.
The two-way loudspeaker shall be the Electro-Voice model FRi-122/85.
