The AtlasIED FAP8CXT is a premium performance 70.7V/100V ported and tuned 8" coaxial ceiling speaker system with true compression driver, perfectly suited for many business PA and music applications, especially applications where high ceilings require loudspeakers with higher efficiency and tighter pattern control.

. The FAP8CXT’s 90° dispersion angle (in the 2 kHz octave band) is perfect for high ceiling applications where tighter pattern control is required. Tight pattern control (not exceeding 90°) is important for high ceiling applications. Loudspeakers exhibiting dispersion wider than 90° will exceed 6 dB of roll-off at the edge of the coverage pattern, causing excessive SPL variations. Using more of the same wide-coverage loudspeaker in a high ceiling application to compensate only makes the situation worse, as comb filtering of multipath arrivals will occur. The unit features

a curvilinear polypropylene cone for lower harmonic distortion and a built-in crossover network for proper frequency transition between the two players. This speaker is factory assembled in a deep-drawn, ported, and optimally tuned enclosure and includes a specially designed 60-watt, low-saturation 70.7V/100V transformer. A convenient front-mounted selector switch allows tap selection without removing the speaker from the ceiling. This tap selector switch also includes a transformer bypass configuration for cases where the FAP8CXT 8 Ω driver needs to be directly coupled to a low impedance amplifier.
