APPLICATIONS

Atlas/Soundolier Models PD-5VH and PD-5VT are versatile 40-watt compression drivers designed for use in conjunction with Atlas/Soundolier large format horns Models CJ-46, BIA-100, DR-Series or other similar equipment. The drivers, which are most commonly used in commercial sound, signaling, and public-address systems, provide uniform, extended response, and clear, natural sound reproduction in high and mid-range frequencies.

The high-power handling capacity of Models PD-5VH and PD-5VT enables the drivers to penetrate through high-ambient noise levels to deliver superior intelligibility in size-able listening areas --even under the most demanding conditions. This performance capability makes the units ideal for a variety of applications including: recreational and athletic facilities, arenas, church towers, exhibit and meeting halls, civil defense, and government facilities, transportation, and storage terminals, factories, and warehouses.

Both the PD-5VH, and transformer-equipped Model PD-5VT, are environment-resistant for dependable and long-term performance, indoors or outdoors.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Models PD-5VH and PD-5VT are similar In performance characteristics. Both are 40-watt drivers with a sound chamber, phasing plug, magnetic-structure components machined to optimum tolerances, and a 2" voice coil. The internal components are enclosed within a protective die-cast housing.

Model PD-5VH has an Alnico V-DG magnet which offers maximum temperature stability and optimizes output for yielding the lowest amplifier power requirements. It also provides terminals for matching direct to the 16 ohms voice coil impedance. Model PD-5VT is equipped with a ceramic magnet and includes a built-in, varnish-impregnated, tropic-sealed, multi-tap 70.7 volt line-matching transformer, (also adaptable to 25 volt audio system operation) which offers a selection of terminals for matching to the appropriate impedance and power taps. The PD-5VH offers a plane wave frequency response of 110 - 4,100 Hz (±5 dB). The PD-5VT has a plane wave frequency response of 190 - 4,200 Hz (±5 dB).

The durable compression drivers mount easily to large format horns that terminate in the standard 1-3/8"-18 male coupling thread. Model PD-5VT is equipped with corrosion-resistant, screw-type, wiring terminals which are protected by a transparent impact-resistant plastic cover. The protective cover also provides strain relief for interconnecting cable. Diaphragms are replaceable with the appropriate equipment. Units are finished in grey, baked epoxy.
