meter with a power input of 1 Watt, and shall be capable of
producing a peak output of 125.8 dB SPL on axis at 1 meter.
The system shall handle 300 Watts of amplifier power (AES
Standard) and shall have a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms.
The loudspeaker enclosure shall be trapezoidal in shape. It
shall be constructed of 1/2-in thickness void-free cross-grain-
