1.
Frequency response and range measured on-axis in anechoic environment with recommended bandpass and EQ.
2.
Bose extended-lifecycle test using pink noise filtered to meet IEC268-5, 6-dB crest factor, 500-hour duration.
3.
AES standard 2-hour duration with IEC system noise.
4.
Sensitivity measured in anechoic environment with recommended high-pass filter.
5.
Maximum SPL calculated using sensitivity and power ratings, exclusive of power compression.
6.
The specifications data was measured in an anechoic chamber, free-field. Reference plane is on the grille surface. Reference axis is perpendicular to center of grille surface.
Horizontal plane contains the reference axis and is parallel to the horizontal axis defined by the longest baffle dimension.
7.
Tested to IP55 per EN60529 when used in General Purpose Audio installation, not for Fire and Evacuation notification applications. Notified Body certified by UL per the EN54-24
standard for an IP33C rating, acceptable for use in a Fire and Evacuation Notification System application.
