Mechanical Drawings Architectural Specifications
The loudspeaker shall consist of two 50
mm (2.0 in) transducers with a voice coil
diamter of 25 mm (1.0 in). Sound waves from
the transducers shall be reflected from a 781
mm (30.75 in) Dual-Parabolic™sound dome.
Performance specifications of a typical
production unit shall be as follows: Usable
frequency response shall extend from
200 Hz – 20 kHz. The loudspeaker shall
be available in 8 Ohm impedance mode.
Rated power capacity of the components
and network shall be at least 25 Watts RMS.
The dome shall be constructed of cus-
tom-molded PETG with an ABS driver
enclosure. The transducers shall have a
fiber cone with butyl rubber surround. The
grill shall be constructed of heat-resistant
ABS plastic material. The overall dome and
cabinet dimensions shall be no more than
781 mm (30.75 in) in diameter by 333 mm
(13.1 in) in height and weigh no more than
3.27 kG (7.2 lbs).
Installation for the FPS30 shall be
by single point hanging aircraft cable
(AC-HC20) with a 1/4 -20 stud into a
