IS-2.8P Column Speaker Architect & Engineering Specs

The speaker shall be comprised of 8 x 2" full-range neodymium drivers in a linear array configuration, housed in an extruded aluminum enclosure with a perforated steel/cloth-backed front grille. The speaker's rear panel shall have dual 1/4" phone plug inputs as well as a 2-pole removeable Euroblock connector, all running in parallel and allowing for easy daisy-chaining of additonal speakers. There shall also be an impedance switch allowing selection of either 8 Ohm or 32 Ohm operation. The 32 Ohm setting may be used when connecting muliple speakers to a single low-impedence amplifier without the need for transformers and wthout loading down the amp. There shall be screw bolts on the rear to accommodate several mounting options and a 1 3/4" recessed hole on the bottom of the enclosure for pole or tripod mounting. The enclousure shall measure 24" H x 2.76" W x 3.54" D  and have a net weight of 6.4 lbs.

The speaker shall be capable of handling 120W of continuous power and has a sensitivity of 88dB (1W@1m). The speaker shall be capable of producing a max SPL of 115dB and will have a frequency response of 115Hz-20kHz (-10dB). The speaker shall have a horizontal dispersion of 190 degrees and a vertical dispersion of 30 degrees. The speaker's frequency response may be further enhanced when used with specially-tailored DSP presets for Protea or AquaControl-equipped amps and processors.

The speaker shall be sold individually and packaged with flush wall-mount brackets. The speaker shall be available in either black or white finish.

The speaker shall be called the Ashly IS-2.8P (black) or the IS-2.8PW (white)

Optional mounts shall be:
IS-TWMB Tilt Wall-mount, which provides a 15 degrees vertical tilt and +/- 90 degree horizontal swing
IS-JP2B Joining Plate, used for bracing two IS-2.8P in a stacked configuration
IS-PM6B 6' Pole Mount (used with SP-12.1P subwoofer)
IS-TR7B 7' Tripod Stand
