Architectural and engineering specifications: Dimensions:

The loudspeaker shall be a two-way system consisting
of one 8 inch (102 mm) low-frequency transducer, a
1.25 inch titanium diaphragm true high frequency
compression driver with rotatable horn and a 263mm
frequency dividing network installed in a vented [10 in]
enclosure. The network shall include a full-range
passive limiter for total system protection. The high
frequency compression transducer shall drive a horn
to evenly cover a pattern of either 90° by 50° or
100° by 100°. The horn shall be rotatable to allow for
horizontal or vertical mounting of the cabinet. The
enclosure shall be molded of high impact ABS resin.
The finish shall be a paintable black or white. The
grille shall be zinc plated, powder coated for corrosion
resistance, and equipped with both hydrophobic cloth 451 mm
[18 in]
and acoustic foam. The loudspeaker position shall be
adjustable over a range of 100° horizontally and 45°
vertically.
The support bracket shall be low profile and integral
with the enclosure. The bracket shall allow for a quick
snap fit mounting of the speaker enclosure for
placement before securing. The speaker terminals
shall include a 4-pin removable Phoenix style 282 mm
[11 in]
connector to allow for signal pass through. The system
shall be weather resistant to MIL Spec 810 and IEC
529 test conditions. Ordering information
The loudspeaker shall be available with a 100 watt
transformer for 70 or 100 volt operations. The speaker ZX1I-90_HE ZX1I-90, BLACK, 2-WAY LOUDSPEAKER
