Crestron SAROS PD8T-W-T-EACH Saros® 8” 2-Way Pendant Speaker, White Textured, Single

Product Overview

The Crestron Saros PD8T-W-T-EACH is an 8 in. 2-way pendant speaker engineered for open-ceiling commercial spaces where in-ceiling mounting is not practical. It suspends from a ceiling truss to deliver full-range background or foreground audio for music, paging, and sound reinforcement. A built-in 60 W multi-tap transformer supports 70V and 100V distributed systems or 8 ohm operation. The white textured, paintable enclosure is weather-resistant for use in semi-enclosed and outdoor venues. This listing is for a single speaker.

Product Description

The Saros PD8T pairs an 8 in. polypropylene woofer with a ring-mode-decoupled cloth surround and a horn-loaded 0.98 in. titanium dome tweeter crossing over at 2.5 kHz. The result is controlled low end, clear midrange, and crisp highs with a 95-degree conical coverage pattern. Frequency response spans 50 Hz to 20 kHz (±3 dB) with 150 W program power handling at 8 ohms and 90.5 dB sensitivity. Optimized dual front ports enhance low-frequency output, and the transformer tap is set with a recessed screwdriver-adjustable rotary switch behind the grille. The rigid glass-fiber-reinforced ABS enclosure carries a UL 94V-0 flame rating and an IPx4 splash resistance rating for installation under eaves, on patios, and near swimming pools. A steel zero-bezel grille is held by magnets for a clean, hardware-free appearance, with a safety tether to retain the grille. A 10 ft (3 m) Gripple wire rope hanger with snap hook and self-locking grip is included for fast truss suspension, and a weather boot protects the detachable terminal block connections. The speaker is paintable to blend with surrounding architecture and is sold individually.
