APPENDIX A: ACHERON 80 AND ACHERON 100 SPECIFICATIONS
Acheron 80 and Acheron 100 Specifications
ACOUSTICAL
Operating Frequency Range 37 Hz – 18 kHz
Note: Recommended maximum operating frequency range. Response depends on loading
conditions and room acoustics.
Frequency Response 38 Hz – 17 kHz ±4 dB
Note: Measured free field with 1/3 octave frequency resolution at 4 meters.
Phase Response 700 Hz to 17 kHz ±30°
Maximum Peak SPL 139 dB
Note: Measured free field with music referred to 1 meter.
Dynamic Range >110 dB
Coverage Acheron 80: 80° horizontal by 50° vertical
Acheron 100: 100° horizontal by 50° vertical
Crossover 580 Hz
Note: At this frequency, both transducers produce equal sound pressure levels.
