Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications
The loudspeaker system shall be a three-
way, active, coaxial, LF/MB/HF system with
a frequency response from 48-20,000 Hz
with crossover frequencies at 125 and 1,760
Hz and a rotatable 60° x 40° constant-di-
rectivity coverage pattern. The loud-
speaker system shall have a high-fre-
quency compression driver mounted on a
60° x 40° constant-directivity horn, and
shall have a 16-ohm, 76.2-mm (3-in.) diam-
eter voice coil, a 76.2-mm (3-in.) titanium
dome, a 35.6-mm (1.4-in.) exit, a neodymium
magnetic motor structure, and a 75-watt

Rigging Accessories:
Grid: This ATM Fly-Ware™ “T”-shaped,
all-steel-construction grid was specifically
designed as a single column of X-Array™
systems. Multiple grids can be linked to-
gether with couplers on front and back re-
tractable arms, the position of which sets
the splay angle between adjacent columns.
