Compression Driver with 70.7V-60W Transformer

Ideal Use Cases

The AtlasIED PD60AT is expertly crafted for large-format horn loudspeakers that utilize a standard 1 3/8-inch-18 male coupling thread. Designed to seamlessly integrate with AtlasIED horns and other compatible products, this compression driver is ideal for installations that benefit from selectable transformer power taps. Its integrated 70.7V transformer provides flexibility across various configurations.

With six available taps—2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 60 watts—the PD60AT offers precise configuration options within the 70.7V format, allowing for tailored solutions based on system requirements and horn specifications.

Why Choose This Model

The PD60AT stands out by combining a robust compression driver with a 60-watt, 70.7V transformer. This dual functionality, along with six power tap options, makes it a versatile choice for those needing both a compression driver and transformer-based operation for large-format horns.

Its performance is backed by a frequency response of 100Hz to 3.7kHz and a sensitivity of 112.7 dB, providing reliable performance metrics for system designers and installers to evaluate against specific audio system requirements.

Installation and Integration

Installation requires a horn loudspeaker with a 1 3/8-inch-18 male coupling thread. Ensuring this specification matches the receiving horn is crucial. The PD60AT is compatible with both AtlasIED and other large-format horn loudspeakers meeting this requirement.

Electrical integration involves connecting the driver to a 70.7V system and selecting the appropriate power tap for the desired output. No additional mounting accessories or wiring components are specified, emphasizing the need for compatibility checks during setup.

Performance Highlights

• Frequency response: 100Hz to 3.7kHz
• Sensitivity: 112.7 dB average from 100 to 3,700Hz
• Transformer format: 70.7V with a maximum tap of 60W
• Selectable taps: 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 60W
• Standard coupling: 1 3/8-inch-18 male thread

Its dimensions of 6 7/8 inches in height and 6 3/8 inches in diameter (17.46 cm x 16.19 cm) alongside a shipping weight of 8.66 lbs (3.93 kg) provide practical considerations for installation and transport logistics.

What Makes It Different

The PD60AT’s unique combination of a compression driver with a 60-watt transformer and multiple power taps distinguishes it from other models. This versatility supports various power needs while maintaining consistent coupling and frequency range specifications.

Furthermore, its compatibility with a range of horn loudspeakers, not limited to a single brand, offers flexibility in system design, provided the horn meets the standard coupling thread specification.

Final Assessment

The AtlasIED PD60AT is a specialized solution for large-format horn loudspeakers requiring a compression driver with a 70.7V transformer. Its 60-watt maximum power, multiple tap options, reliable frequency response, and standard coupling requirement make it a precise choice for tailored audio installations.

For optimal results, verify the horn thread compatibility, ensure alignment with 70.7V systems, and select the appropriate transformer tap. The product includes a 60-month warranty from the date of purchase, ensuring long-term reliability.
