with high dBA output at each power tap. All models
are offered with a choice of either 25V or 70V audio
transformer, with field selectable taps, 1/4 to 2
watts.These speakers incorporate a high efficiency
speaker for maximum output at minimum power
across a frequency range of 400 to 4000 Hz.
The Adapter feature offers four field selectable
candela settings - 15/75, 30/75, 75 or 110.
