Applications:
The AWC129 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.
The AWC129 is comprised of a high-power
coaxial 300 mm (12 in) low frequency driver and
25 mm (1 in) high frequency compression driver.
The co-axial design utilizes a unique tapered
polepiece design and transitions to the cone of
the low frequency driver as a large diameter
pattern control horn for the high frequencies,
both eliminating high-frequency beaming which
is common among this category of speaker and
extending pattern control to the lowest possible
frequencies. The result is a coaxial speaker with
wide, extremely consistent 90° coverage on a
broadband basis.
Component features include a Kevlar-reinforced
low frequency cone for reliability, well-damped
surround for smooth frequency response, high
temperature 75 mm (3 in) voice coil and a reduced
distortion design through saturated-gap magnet
geometry. The high frequency compression
driver features a unique patented design, high
temperature polymer diaphragm, and uid-cooling
for high output levels with low distortion.
The paintable enclosure is constructed of
thick ABS plus berglass and is heavily braced
to maximize low-frequency performance. The
corrosion-resistant zinc-rich extra-thick powder
coated steel grille is backed with open cell foam
and high thread-count mesh, providing excellent
protection in the harshest environments. The
system is rated IP-56, per IEC529 when installed
at minimum 5° down-tilt.
The system is equipped with a 200W 70V/100V
multi-tap transformer. Connection is made via
outdoor-rated terminals in a recessed terminal
cup. A protective terminal compartment cover
is included, along with gland nut, which forms a
water-tight seal with round-jacketed cable having
The high frequency compression driver features a
unique patented design, high temperature polymer
diaphragm, and uid-cooling for high output levels
with low distortion.
A heavy-duty weather-capable zinc-rich, thick
powder coated U-type mounting bracket is
included.
