Product Overview
The Atlas Sound FD72W-HC is an 8-inch in-ceiling loudspeaker assembly that includes a 25V/70.7V transformer, a 62-8 style baffle, and a Hyfidrophobic-treated screw-type grille for use in moisture-prone environments. Designed for commercial distributed audio in facilities such as locker rooms, food service areas, covered outdoor spaces, and other humid installations, the FD72W-HC provides a complete factory-assembled in-ceiling solution with 0.5, 1, 2, and 4-watt power taps for flexible system integration.
Product Description
The FD72W-HC is a cost-effective complete assembly that eliminates the need to source speaker, transformer, baffle, and grille separately. The 8-inch paper cone driver uses a 1-inch voice coil and delivers a frequency response of 100 Hz to 10 kHz with 97 dB peak sensitivity, making it well suited for voice intelligibility in paging systems and background music in commercial spaces. The 25V/70.7V dual-voltage transformer provides compatibility with both 25V systems common in smaller distributed audio designs and standard 70.7V commercial amplifiers. Power taps at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 watts give system designers flexibility to balance coverage across zones. The Hyfidrophobic grille treatment repels water and moisture, protecting the speaker assembly in areas exposed to humidity, steam, or cleaning spray. The 105-degree dispersion angle provides wide coverage from a single ceiling location. Factory assembly on the 62-8 baffle simplifies installation by delivering a ready-to-install unit. A 60-month warranty is included.
Key Features
- Hyfidrophobic Grille Treatment — Water-repellent coating on the screw-type grille protects the assembly in humid or moisture-prone environments.
- 25V/70.7V Dual Voltage Transformer — Supports both 25V and 70.7V distributed audio systems for flexible deployment.
- 4 Power Taps (0.5, 1, 2, 4W) — Allows precise zone level balancing across distributed audio systems.
- 97 dB Peak Sensitivity — Efficient output for voice paging and background music in commercial ceiling installations.
- 105° Dispersion — Wide coverage pattern minimizes the number of speakers needed per zone.
- Factory-Assembled Unit — Speaker, transformer, and baffle pre-installed to reduce installation time on the job site.
