Sx80T Two-Way Speaker System With Transformer

tional, federal, state, and local regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer to en- sure the Sx80T is safely installed in accor- dance with all such regulations. If the Sx80T is suspended, Electro-Voice strongly recom- mends that the system be inspected at least once a year. If any sign of weakness or dam- age is detected, remedial action should be taken immediately.

The Sx80T enclosure contains seven M6 in- serts and (see Figure 6) which are built into the enclosure for the purpose of suspension. These inserts can be used with either the Sx80MB mounting bracket from Electro- Voice, or with an OmniMount® Series 75 mounting system.

Sx80MB

The Sx80MB is a universal U-bracket de- signed to allow the suspension of the Sx80T at any angle and orientation from the wall or ceiling (See Figures 6 and 8). It uses M6 inserts on the top and the bottom of the en- closure. There is an extra M6 insert on the top of the enclosure for a safety chain. Full instructions are included in the Sx80MB engineering data sheet.

OmniMount® Series 75

Four M6 threaded inserts and screws are lo- cated on the rear of the Sx80T for use with the OmniMount® Series 75 support system. A safety chain should be used to ensure safe operation. Full instructions for the OmniMount® Series 75 can be obtained from:

Transformer Settings

A transformer and power selector switch are installed in the rear of the enclousre. The level of the Sx80T may be adjested by chang- ing the switch setting using a screwdriver. Turning the switch clockwise increases the power. Since the same switch and transformer are used for either the 100-volt or 70-volt line, the power setting depends upon the amplifier

output that is used, 100-volt or 70-volt.

CAUTION: When connected to a 100-volt line, do not use the switch setting marked “DO NOT USE,” as this may result in ex- cessive power driving the Sx80T or exces- sive distortion.

SX80T specifications

The Electro-Voice SX80T is a versatile high-performance loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional sound quality in a wide range of applications. Engineered for both indoor and outdoor use, this speaker is particularly suitable for commercial installations, public address systems, and live sound environments.

One of the standout features of the SX80T is its robust construction. The speaker is housed in a weather-resistant enclosure, allowing it to withstand the rigors of outdoor use while still maintaining audio fidelity. This durability makes it an ideal choice for venues such as parks, sporting events, and concerts.

The SX80T utilizes a powerful 8-inch woofer designed to produce deep, rich bass tones, complemented by a high-frequency driver that delivers crisp, clear treble. This combination ensures a balanced audio output across the frequency spectrum, making it effective for various musical genres and speech applications. The speaker's frequency response spans from 70 Hz to 20 kHz, providing a wide range of sound reproduction capabilities that cater to both music and voice.

Another important technology built into the SX80T is its equalization system. This system allows users to tailor the audio output to suit the acoustics of the specific environment, ensuring optimal performance wherever it is used. Whether you are setting up for a live concert or addressing a crowd at an outdoor gathering, this feature provides the flexibility needed to achieve the best sound quality.

Additionally, the SX80T comes equipped with a transformer for 70V/100V line applications, making it easy to integrate into existing sound systems that require distributed audio in commercial settings. This feature is particularly beneficial for installations in larger venues where sound needs to be distributed evenly throughout the space.

The SX80T's mounting options further enhance its usability. It can be wall-mounted or mounted on a pole, providing versatility in positioning to maximize sound dispersion. The speaker also features a stylish and discreet design, ensuring that it blends seamlessly into various environments without compromising aesthetics.

In summary, the Electro-Voice SX80T is a highly reliable loudspeaker offering impressive sound quality, robust construction, and versatile mounting options. Its advanced features and technologies make it an excellent choice for both live sound and installed audio applications, ensuring that audiences receive powerful and clear sound no matter the setting.
