Overview
The AWC159 is a compact, coaxial-driver, 2-way, highly weather-resistant full-range loudspeaker system which is ideal for speech and music in a wide variety of applications, including sports facilities, racetracks, stadiums, fairgrounds, rodeos, skating rinks, themed entertainment venues, cruise ships, water parks, outdoor background music/paging systems, swimming pools, and a wide variety of other outdoor or indoor venue types.
Features
- Highly weather-resistant IP56 rating
- Consistent 90° x 90° broadband pattern control
- Components:
• 380 mm (15 in) woofer with Kevlar-reinforced cone and 75 mm (3 in) voice coil.
• 38 mm (1.5 in) diaphragm compression driver with patented design and high temperature polymer diaphragm. - Extraordinary clarity for speech, with extended frequency response for music.
- Advanced high-slope crossover network for constant coverage and smooth, natural midrange.
- 500 Watt power handling (average continuous pink noise) with high sensitivity provides high SPL capability.
- High-power passive crossover network.
- 52 Hz – 20 kHz frequency response.
- 300 Watt 70V/100V multi-tap (built-in transformer) or direct 8Ω low-impedance.
