Crestron SAROS PD6T-B-T – Saros 6.5-Inch 2-Way Pendant Speaker, Black Textured

Product Overview

The Crestron Saros PD6T-B-T is a 2-way commercial pendant speaker featuring a 6.5-inch polypropylene woofer and a wide-dispersion, horn-loaded 1-inch titanium dome tweeter, designed for suspension in open-ceiling commercial environments including restaurants, retail spaces, houses of worship, convention facilities, and office buildings. A built-in 60W multi-tap transformer supports 70V and 100V constant-voltage distributed speaker systems for direct wiring into commercial distributed audio amplifiers; 8Ω Lo-Z operation handles up to 125W program power at full bandwidth. The black textured finish and frameless magnetic grille provide a clean architectural appearance in commercial hospitality and open-ceiling environments. Sold individually.

Product Description

Open-ceiling commercial environments — restaurants, nightclubs, convention facilities, retail spaces, and contemporary office buildings with exposed structural ceilings — require pendant speakers that combine acoustic performance with architectural aesthetics. Standard flush-mount ceiling speakers are architecturally inappropriate in these environments because there is no ceiling plane to mount into; pendant speakers suspended from trusses, structural beams, and cable systems are the correct technical solution. The PD6T-B-T is engineered for this application: its horn-loaded titanium dome tweeter provides controlled high-frequency dispersion with a 100° nominal coverage pattern suited to the varied ceiling heights and room geometries of open-ceiling commercial spaces, while the 6.5-inch polypropylene woofer and ported enclosure extend low-frequency response down to 50Hz for full-range background music and sound reinforcement. Weather-resistant construction — including a weather boot for wiring connections — extends the application to semi-enclosed outdoor entertainment venues, covered patios, and swimming pool areas where standard indoor pendant speakers would not be appropriate. The 10-foot wire rope with Gripple self-locking grip supplied with each speaker enables fast, tool-free suspension height adjustment during installation. Priced and sold individually, allowing exact quantity specification per audio zone without pair minimums.

Key Features

• 6.5-Inch Woofer with Horn-Loaded Titanium Dome Tweeter: Polypropylene woofer with damped cloth surround delivers tight bass and clear midrange; horn-loaded titanium dome tweeter provides 100° nominal coverage pattern with controlled high-frequency dispersion suited to the varied geometries of open-ceiling commercial spaces.
• Built-In 60W 70V/100V Multi-Tap Transformer: Integrated transformer enables direct wiring into 70V or 100V constant-voltage distributed speaker systems — no external tap boxes or additional transformer hardware required. Tap selection via screwdriver-accessible control behind the magnetic grille.
• 125W Program Power at 8Ω Lo-Z: Handles high-output commercial audio requirements for foreground music, sound reinforcement, and high-SPL paging applications in large open-ceiling commercial spaces.
• Weather-Resistant Construction: Glass fiber reinforced ABS housing with weather boot on wiring connections suitable for semi-enclosed outdoor environments including covered patios, entertainment venues, and swimming pool areas.
• Frameless Magnetic Grille with Safety Tether: Magnetically attached steel grille eliminates visible screws or mounting hardware for a clean architectural appearance; included safety tether prevents grille from presenting a falling hazard in occupied commercial spaces.
• Wire Rope Hanger Assembly Included: 10 ft (3m) wire rope with snap hook and Gripple self-locking grip included for tool-free suspension height adjustment from ceiling trusses and structural framing during installation.
• Dual Ported Enclosure: Optimized dual front ports enhance low-frequency response for full-range commercial background music reproduction with deeper bass extension than sealed enclosure pendant designs.
• Paintable Black Textured Finish: Black textured ABS housing is paintable to match surrounding ceiling and architectural finishes in commercial environments where a specific color match is required.

Typical Applications

• Restaurants and hospitality venues with open truss ceilings requiring pendant speaker arrays for foreground music and background dining ambience
• Retail spaces with exposed structural ceilings using pendant speakers for background music distribution and store paging
• Houses of worship with open sanctuary ceilings requiring pendant fill speakers in 70V/100V distributed audio systems
• Convention centers and event facilities with truss-hung pendant speaker arrays for large-area audio coverage
• Covered outdoor entertainment patios, amphitheater covered seating areas, and pool decks requiring weather-resistant pendant speakers
• Contemporary open-plan office buildings with exposed ceiling structures using pendant speaker distribution for background music and paging
• Nightclubs and entertainment venues with high-ceiling open spaces requiring wide-coverage pendant speaker distribution

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PD6T-B-T suitable for fully outdoor exposed use?
The Saros PD6T-B-T is weather-resistant and suitable for semi-enclosed outdoor environments such as covered patios, entertainment venues, and pool areas. It is not rated for direct rain exposure or fully exposed outdoor installation. Contact Creation Networks for guidance on outdoor speaker selection for your specific environment.

How is the 70V/100V tap wattage selected?
The transformer tap wattage is set via a screwdriver-accessible control located on the speaker baffle behind the magnetic grille. Setting the tap at installation controls how much power the speaker draws from the constant-voltage amplifier output, enabling per-speaker volume balancing within a distributed zone.

Is a white version available?
Yes — the Saros PD6T-W-T-EACH is the white textured version. Both finishes are paintable. Contact Creation Networks to order the white variant or for color-match finish guidance.

What amplifier pairs with the PD6T-B-T in a 70V Crestron audio system?
The Saros PD6T-B-T is compatible with Crestron AMP-8150, AMP-X300, and AMP-X50MP amplifiers operating in 70V/100V Hi-Z mode. Contact Creation Networks for complete distributed audio system design including amplifier load calculations for your specific speaker zone.

What is the difference between the PD6T and the PD4T?
The PD6T uses a 6.5-inch woofer with a 60W transformer and handles 125W program at 8Ω — suited for larger coverage zones and higher-output applications. The PD4T uses a 4-inch woofer with a 30W transformer and handles 100W program — suited for smaller pendant fill zones and tighter speaker spacing. Contact Creation Networks for speaker selection guidance based on room geometry and SPL requirements.

What is the warranty on the Crestron Saros PD6T-B-T?
Crestron provides a standard 3-year limited warranty on Saros speakers. Contact Creation Networks for warranty service details.
