APPLICATIONS
Enhance audio quality and listener appreciation of engineered sound
systems with the superior sound reproduction and power handling
capacity of the Atlas Sound Model C12BT60. Professional quality 12"
coaxial loudspeaker with factory installed 60-watt line-matching trans-
former is ideal for application in restaurants, night clubs, lounges, the-
aters, airports, waiting rooms, shopping malls, houses of worship or any
commercial, industrial and institutional application, with high ceilings.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Atlas Sound Model C12BT60 is a professional quality coaxial loudspeak-
er for use where full range music and voice reproduction are desired.
Model C12BT60 combines a 12" diameter low frequency reproducer and
a 1" diameter high frequency, post-mounted reproducer. The unit features
a curvelinear, treated paper cone for lower harmonic distortion and a
built-in crossover network for determining proper frequency selection
between the two reproducers. Both the low frequency reproducer and the
tweeter feature permanently aligned voice coils (1.5" and 1" diameter,
respectively) to assure distortion free performance.
The copper voice coils have an anodized aluminum former. The com-
petitively priced unit assures smooth frequency response in a high
power handling mode. For best results, enclosures with a volume of 2
cu. ft. or greater (including Atlas Sound Models Q4412 or Q4612) are
recommended. Additional Q Series enclosure models with a volume
up to 6 cu. ft. will satisfy requirements with different low frequency
emphasis. The loudspeaker will also provide outstanding performance
when front or rear mounted in vented or sealed enclosures. A factory
installed 60 watt line transformer is included with the package, however,
the transformer can be easily bypassed for 8 ohm applications.
Amplifier output wiring connections to the loudspeaker are "pig tail"
leads loudspeaker weight is 10.5 lbs (4.76kg).
