APPENDIX A: ACHERON DESIGNER SPECIFICATIONS
ACOUSTICAL
Operating Frequency Range 37 Hz – 18 kHz
Note: Recommended maximum operating frequency range. Response depends on loading
conditions and room acoustics.
Frequency Response 38 Hz – 17 kHz ±4 dB
Note: Measured free field with 1/3 octave frequency resolution at 4 meters.
Phase Response 230 Hz to 17 kHz ±30°
Maximum Peak SPL 130 dB
Note: Measured free field with music referred to 1 meter.
Dynamic Range >110 dB
Coverage 80° horizontal by 50° vertical
Crossover 680 Hz
Note: At this frequency, both transducers produce equal sound pressure levels.
