ALTEC DTS-640 Duplex® Loudspeaker System ‘© High output capability © Excellent directivity control ‘* Enclosure allows refinishing © Three-way all-horn-loaded system © Full triamp or biamp with internal passive crossover Description ‘The Altec Lansing DTS-640 isa three-way, all-horn-loaded, factory-assembled system With a coaxial mid/high section. The sys- ‘tem can be configured as atriamp system or as a biamp system using the internal mid! high passive crossover. This compact system features high sensitivity, high output capabil- ity and point-source alignment, together with ‘excellent directivity control down to 800 Hz. ‘The coverage at 1,000 Hz is 80° horizontal by 75° vertical, and the system's nominal coverage is 60° horizontal by 40° vertical ‘The hoen-loaded bass section extends the low- frequency response to below 60 Hz, or lower iff multiple units are used. The DTS-640 con- sists of ewo 381-mm (15-inch) high-power, low-frequency drivers with a coaxial mid-/ high-frequency section consisting of ahigh- efficiency 254-mm (10-inch) midrange driver together with a25 4mm (-in.) neody- ‘mum compression driver. Both drivers wti- lize 60° x 40° constant-directivity horns. Electrical connection to each driver is made by large screw terminals able to accept up to 10-gauge wire, or two parallel, 8-pin female [Neutrik Speakon® connectors. The system should be used with the Altec Lansing 2400 digital loudspeaker processor. The recom- mended crossover frequencies are 210 Hz from 19-mm (0.75-in.) thick thoroughly braced 14-ply birch plywood lined with sound-absorbent glass wool. A complete four-point hanging system is provided for safe suspension of the DTS-640. The sys- tem may then be hung as a single unit or as part ofa cluster. The finish ofthe enclosure {s textured black paint which can be painted tocomplement any interior. The grille is con- structed from 16-gauge black, powder- coated steel and is backed with a weather- resistant foam, ‘The DTS-640 can be used individually or in arrays to create compact, high-output and di- rectivity-controlled systems for use in churches, auditoriums, hotels and civic cen- ters.
