SP400C – 3
4. Introduction
The SP400C is a complete two-way bass-reflex
flush-mount loudspeaker assembly designed for
ease of installation, extremely wide coverage, and
high-fidelity full-range sound reinforcement.
The SP400C is ideal for use in business music
systems and foreground/background music applications.
Installing the SP400C is simple. The one-piece
assembly includes the backcan, mounting tabs
(clamps), front baffle rim, high- and low-frequency
drivers, and our proprietary two-way waveguide based
on Mackie Designs award-winning HR824 studio
monitors. Support rails are supplied that attach to
the C-ring (included) and distribute the speaker’s
weight to the ceiling tile T-channels. A template is
also included for marking the correct cutout size.
The Phoenix-style connector on the back of the
assembly provides input and loop-through
connections for 70V/100V distribution systems, or
low-impedance operation. An easily accessible
rotary switch on the front panel selects the
appropriate tap (from 3.7 watts to 30 watts). A
second switch allows you to select among full-range
operation, high-pass (when used with a subwoofer),
and full-range low-impedance operation (16 ohms).
A plastic paint shield is provided that protects
the transducers so the front baffle rim and grille can
be painted to match the surrounding décor.
