tional, federal, state, and local regulations.
It is the responsibility of the installer to en-
sure the Sx80T is safely installed in accor-
dance with all such regulations. If the Sx80T
is suspended, Electro-Voice strongly recom-
mends that the system be inspected at least
once a year. If any sign of weakness or dam-
age is detected, remedial action should be
taken immediately.
The Sx80T enclosure contains seven M6 in-
serts and (see Figure 6) which are built into
the enclosure for the purpose of suspension.
These inserts can be used with either the
Sx80MB mounting bracket from Electro-
Voice, or with an OmniMount ® Series 75
mounting system.
Sx80MB
The Sx80MB is a universal U-bracket de-
signed to allow the suspension of the Sx80T
at any angle and orientation from the wall or
ceiling (See Figures 6 and 8). It uses M6
inserts on the top and the bottom of the en-
closure. There is an extra M6 insert on the
top of the enclosure for a safety chain. Full
instructions are included in the Sx80MB
engineering data sheet.
OmniMount ® Series 75
Four M6 threaded inserts and screws are lo-
cated on the rear of the Sx80T for use with
the OmniMount ® Series 75 support system.
A safety chain should be used to ensure safe
operation. Full instructions for the
OmniMount ® Series 75 can be obtained

Transformer Settings
A transformer and power selector switch are
installed in the rear of the enclousre. The
level of the Sx80T may be adjested by chang-
ing the switch setting using a screwdriver.
Turning the switch clockwise increases the
power. Since the same switch and transformer
are used for either the 100-volt or 70-volt line,
the power setting depends upon the amplifier
output that is used, 100-volt or 70-volt.
CAUTION: When connected to a 100-volt
line, do not use the switch setting marked
“DO NOT USE,” as this may result in ex-
cessive power driving the Sx80T or exces-
sive distortion.
Architects’ and Engineers’
Specifications
The loudspeaker shall consist of a 200-mm
(8.0-in.) low frequency transducer in a
vented, trapezoidal-shaped enclosure: a
DH2005 high-frequency compression driver
with a pure titanium diaphragm coupled to a
90° X 65° constant-directivity horn molded
into the front baffle of the enclosure. The
system will use a passive crossover-equal-
ize network with protection for the high-fre-
quency driver. The loudspeaker shall meet
the following performance criteria: fre-
quency response of 65 to 20,000 Hz, -3 dB;
maximum power handling of 60 watts long
term and 240 watts short term with switch
selectable taps for 60 W, 30 W, 15 W, 7.5 W,
3.7 W and 1.8 W, with a shaped random-
noise input per ANSI/EIA RS-426-A 1980;
sensitivity of 92 dB SPL at 1 meter with a 1-
watt, 300-2,000-Hz pink-noise input; 6-dB-
down horizontal coverage angle of 90° + 34°/
-27° in the 2,000- to 20,000-Hz range; 6-dB-
down vertical coverage angle of 65° + 31°/-
4° in the 2,000- to 20,000-Hz range; cross-
over frequency of 2,200 Hz; nominal imped-
ance of 8 ohms and minimum impedance of
7.2 ohms. Input connectors shall be push
pins. The enclosure shall be constructed of
high-impact polystyrene and fitted with a
powder-coated steel grille, and M6 and M5
threaded inserts for optional accessories.
Dimensions shall be 400 mm (15.75 in.) high x
292 mm (11.5 in.) wide x 240 mm (9.45 in.) deep.
Net weight shall be 9.3 kg (20.5 lb).
The system shall be capable of producing
average sound levels in excess of in the long
term, and short-term peaks.
