Applications
AP-15 and AP-15T environment-resistant loudspeakers are the world
standard for high-intelligibility voice and signal transmission in medium-
power indoor and outdoor public address, intercom, security and
industrial-signal-system applications. Cost effective, 15-watt units
incorporate high-efficiency compression drivers to project sound over
long distances or wide areas with fewer loudspeakers. The AP-15 Series
is recognized throughout the world as “the performance standard” for

Description
The 8 Ohm Model AP-15 and the transformer-equipped Model AP-15T
are double re-entrant loudspeakers which deliver 15 Watts of continuous
power handling, superior intelligibility and unparalleled efficiency. The
AP-15 Series operates within a nominal frequency response range of
400-14,000 Hz and offers a sensitivity of 120dB at rated power to provide
clear voice and signal communication.
Transformer-equipped Model AP-15T includes a versatile, 3-way, 25, 70.7,
100V line transformer to meet a variety of distributed system needs. The
transformer is adjustable using Atlas Sound’s exclusive Vari-Tap
®
Connect
Center which features a 7-position, watts/impedance selection switch.
The labor-saving Vari-Tap
®
switch is screwdriver adjustable and includes a
protective cover with built-in cable strain relief.
The trademarked squared-bell design signifies Atlas Sound quality and
reliability. The Omni-Purpose
®
mounting bracket (supplied on all models)
achieves precise positioning in the vertical and horizontal planes with a
single adjustment and includes provisions for loudspeaker installation

reliability. Weather-resistant construction is metal and matching ABS
plastic with metal components finished in grey epoxy (standard) or beige
epoxy (Model AP-15TC).
The AP-15 Series also includes a 45-ohm Model AP-15-45 and a 4 ohm
Model AP-15-4 which are designed respectively for intercom and
CB/auxiliary radio applications. (See SL2-1567).
