James Loudspeaker PD62-70 - 6.5" 2-Way Pendant Speaker, 70V

Product Overview

The James Loudspeaker PD62-70 is a 6.5" 2-way pendant speaker with 70V operation, built for large distributed commercial AV systems in open-ceiling spaces. This 70V hanging pendant loudspeaker delivers higher output across exposed-structure retail, restaurants, and venues that run many speakers on a single amplifier line. Its 2-way driver array provides balanced full-range audio while suspended in the listening area.

Product Description

The PD62-70 is part of the pendant speaker range within the James Loudspeaker collection, pairing a 6.5" woofer with a dedicated tweeter in a 2-way design housed in a suspended enclosure. The 70V transformer lets integrators connect many pendants across long cable runs on a single amplifier channel, while the larger driver provides more output than the 4" PD42-70 for bigger open-ceiling areas. Because it hangs from the structure, it brings sound closer to listeners where there is no ceiling cavity.

For low-impedance zones, integrators specify the matching 4-ohm PD62-4 instead. The 70V design simplifies wiring and tap-level adjustment across distributed systems, making the PD62-70 well suited to paging and background music in large venues. The 2-way configuration balances speech intelligibility and music reproduction for program audio.
