Power Dynamics PDS50B - 6.5" 100V Pendant Speaker in Black
The Power Dynamics PDS50B is a high-performance pendant loudspeaker designed specifically for commercial sound installations and background music. Its sleek, discreet black design allows it to be suspended from high ceilings, making it the ideal audio solution for large spaces such as shops, restaurants, offices, showrooms, or warehouses. It combines high-fidelity sound reproduction with exceptional versatility, ensuring uniform and clear sound coverage.
Equipped with a two-way system, the PDS50B delivers superior audio quality. Its 6.5-inch polypropylene cone woofer ensures rich and defined reproduction of mid and low frequencies, while the 1-inch Mylar dome tweeter handles the highs, providing pristine clarity for both music and speech. To further enhance bass response, the design incorporates a dual front-facing bass reflex port, adding depth and body to the sound without the need for an additional subwoofer in many applications.
Flexibility is one of the key features of the PDS50B. It can operate in both low-impedance 8-ohm systems and 70V and 100V line installations. An easily accessible rotary selector allows you to choose between different power outputs (5W, 10W, 20W, 40W at 100V), facilitating integration into large distributed sound systems and volume balancing between different zones.
