User manual ALTEC LANSING 288-8K HF DRIVER

[. . . ] An exclusive TangerineTM radial phasing-plug assures a smooth upper range response. The excellent performance characteristics of these drivers make them the high frequency component of choice for small to medium size sound systems when premium dynamic reproduction is required. MR II 564B GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Altec Lansing's MR II 564B MantarayTM constant-directivity horn features efficient mid and high frequency response with proper loading down to 500 Hz, plus excellent directivity control over its 60°H x 40°V coverage pattern. The geometry of the MR II 564B reduces the problem of high frequency beaming and maintains uniform dispersion at all frequencies within the rated frequency range. [. . . ] Altec Lansing's 21216B adapter is constructed of heavy gauge aluminum. This adapter is the perfect choice for coupling the 909-8B and 909-16B to our MANTARAYTM series horns.

These drivers shall have an operating bandwidth of 500 Hz to 20 kHz. The power handling capability of these drivers shall be be 30W AES (120 W peak) > 500 Hz and 60W AES (240W peak) > 1 kHz. The level is then corrected to be equivalent to a 2. 83 V 1 m measurement. 2 The limits of the frequency response are referenced to -10 dB of the loudspeaker's rated sensitivity. 3 The sensitivity of the loudspeaker is the log based average SPL taken over the intended bandwidth of operation for the loudspeaker with a 2. 83 V swept sine stimulus. The data is measured and level corrected in a manner consistent with note 1. 4 The power handling capacity of the loudspeaker is tested using a full range form of AES Standard 2-1984. The test stimulus is band limited (500 Hz ­ 16 kHz) pink noise with a 6 dB crest factor. The applied RMS voltage is determined using the minimum impedance of the loudspeaker. The amplifier used to drive the loudspeaker has a minimum operating headroom of 6 dB referenced to the RMS voltage. 5 The peak output level of the loudspeaker is calculated based on the sensitivity and the peak power handling capabilities of the loudspeaker. [. . . ] 5 The peak output level of the loudspeaker is calculated based on the sensitivity and the peak power handling capabilities of the loudspeaker. 6 The coverage angles for the loudspeaker are taken as the -6 dB points of the directivity response and averaged from 500 Hz ­ 16 kHz. 7 The minimum impedance of the loudspeaker is taken over its intended band of operation.
