LT 4402®-III Loudspeaker Product Description

The Bose® Panaray® LT 4402®-III loudspeaker is a mid/high-frequency device designed for medium to long throw distances. The LT 4402-III loudspeaker offers a 44˚ horizontal by 38˚ vertical dispersion pattern which is ideal for highly reverberant spaces.

When arrayed correctly, LT 4402-III loudspeakers behave sonically as a large, single source of sound energy. This coherent wavefront provides full fidelity and even-coverage at critical mid- and high-frequencies throughout the coverage area of the array.

Each Panaray LT 4402-III loudspeaker uses two V2 mid-frequency drivers and a 1.4" com- pression driver mounted on a 40˚H x 40˚V constant directivity waveguide.

The LT 4402-III loudspeaker can be operated in passive or bi-amplified modes.

In passive mode, the internal passive crossover network is utilized, and a single amplified signal is connected to the loudspeaker.

In bi-amplified mode, the mid-frequency and high-frequency drivers are accessed through separate pins on the Neutrik NL4 connectors.

LT 4402-III speaker with grille Active equalization of the LT 4402-III loudspeaker can be provided by using the Panaray LT 4402-III EQ card or the Panaray System controller with presets for each Panaray speaker and combination of speakers. A parametric equalizer can replicate the active equalization curve on the following page, along with a high-pass filter and low pass filter as shown.

How our loudspeakers are measured

1. Power Handling

Full bandwidth pink noise, meeting the IEC Standard #268-5, is applied to the loudspeaker and amplified to a level at the loudspeaker terminals corresponding to the power handling of the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker must show no visible damage or measurable loss of performance after 100 hours of continuous testing.

2. Sensitivity

Full bandwidth pink noise is applied to the loudspeaker with its active equalization curve and amplified to a level at the loudspeaker terminals corresponding to 1 watt as referenced to the nominal impedance. The average sound pressure level (dB-SPL) is measured at 1 meter from the speaker in an anechoic environment.

3. Maximum SPL

Full bandwidth pink noise is applied to the loudspeaker with its active equalization curve and amplified to a level at the loudspeaker terminals corresponding to the long-term rated power handling of the speaker. The average sound pressure level (dB-SPL) is mea- sured at 1 meter from the speaker in an anechoic environment.

4. Frequency Range

Sine waves are injected into the loudspeaker and the level is adjusted to 1 watt, as referenced to the nominal impedance, and the level measured at 1meter. Resulting graph is smoothed by 0.05 octave-band.
