Atlas Sound SM82TUC-WH – 8" 2-Way All-Weather Speaker 70V/100V White

Product Overview

The Atlas Sound SM82TUC-WH is an 8-inch 2-way all-weather surface mount loudspeaker with a screwdriver-selectable 60-watt 70V/100V transformer, UL1480 certified for commercial indoor and outdoor distributed audio applications. Built with UV-resistant polycarbonate/ABS enclosure, powder-coated aluminum grilles, and all-brass hardware inserts, this Strategy Series surface mount speaker withstands salt spray, UV exposure, and humidity for year-round outdoor use. The white finish version suits installations where an unobtrusive, weather-resistant commercial speaker is required in retail, corporate, hospitality, house of worship, and restaurant environments.

Product Description

The SM82TUC-WH is a compact 2-way system combining an 8-inch HYCONE-treated paper woofer with a 1-inch titanium dome high-frequency compression driver cooled by ferrofluid for extended thermal performance. The AtlasIED TRX Control WaveGuide constant-directivity high-frequency director provides smooth, even sound coverage in both vertical and horizontal cabinet orientations, with symmetrical HF dispersion eliminating the need to specify mounting direction. The AtlasIED PolyGuard protection circuit diverts damaging transient signals away from the tweeter, extending component life in high-voltage transient environments. Construction conforms to the 100-hour salt spray test per ASTM B117, making it suitable for coastal, outdoor, and high-humidity installations. The 70V/100V transformer is screwdriver-selectable at 1.9, 3.7, 7.5, 15, 30, and 60-watt taps via a sealed rear switch, with a 1/2" conduit-ready tongue-in-groove cover protecting the input connections from moisture. The included color-matched C-bracket provides easy vertical or horizontal installation, and a 15mm hole accommodates mounting on any AtlasIED mic stand for nearfield applications. Four 1/4"-20 OMNIMOUNT-compatible brass inserts on the rear panel support standard off-the-shelf wall brackets including the OMNIMOUNT 30.0 WB. A two-pole barrier strip input accepts up to two #16 AWG cables. Frequency response is 65 Hz to 20 kHz. The SM82TUC-WH carries a 5-year limited warranty.
