ES-82CDT – 8-Inch Coaxial In-Ceiling Loudspeaker with HF Compression Driver (Pair) Lowell

Model ES-82CDT produces excellent intelligibility for speech and full-frequency response for music making it ideal for retail, commercial, industrial, institutional, and residential applications. This self-contained in-ceiling or in-wall speaker system with 8″ coaxial driver has a high-frequency horn-loaded compression driver that provides the kind of crisp, high-frequency response expected from high quality coaxial speakers. The ported enclosure is tuned for extended low-frequency response, while the controlled pattern dispersion is ideal for higher ceiling distributed speaker systems.

• Driver: 8″ 150W coaxial driver
• Transformer: 120W transformer with tap selector switch mounted behind grille. Tap selections for 25V, 70V or 100V speaker systems, and 8 ohm transformer bypass position.
• Enclosure:

• Grille: Fine mesh press-fit grille (white) includes scrim and pull tool.
• Installation Aids: (included)
  • C-Ring: Reinforces the edge of drywall ceiling cut-outs and works with the support rails to uphold the weight of the speaker assembly.
