Exceptional Full-Range Audio Performance
The PM8FA utilizes the same AtlasIED FA138 Strategy Series driver found in the company's highly regarded FAP82T ceiling speaker systems. This high-performance 8-inch coaxial driver delivers natural sound reproduction with excellent clarity for both background music and paging applications.
Its impressive frequency response of 65Hz to 20kHz ensures balanced low-frequency performance, smooth midrange detail, and crisp high-frequency reproduction for a wide variety of commercial audio environments.
Wide Coverage for Open Ceiling Spaces
Engineered specifically for pendant-mount installations, the PM8FA provides broad and consistent coverage throughout open ceiling environments. The integrated 8-inch FA138 driver delivers a 100-degree coverage pattern (50 degrees off-axis) within the critical 2kHz octave band, helping reduce the number of speakers required while maintaining consistent sound distribution.
The wide dispersion characteristics make the speaker ideal for areas requiring even audio coverage, including retail floors, restaurants, hospitality venues, office spaces, and educational facilities.
Integrated 70.7V Transformer
The built-in 70.7V transformer allows the PM8FA to integrate seamlessly into distributed commercial audio systems. Multiple tap settings provide system designers with the flexibility to balance coverage and power requirements across a variety of installation sizes.
- 1.9 Watt tap
- 3.8 Watt tap
- 7.5 Watt tap
- 15 Watt tap
- 30 Watt tap
- 60 Watt tap
- 8-ohm direct input operation
All connections are made through a concealed terminal block, providing a clean and professional appearance after installation.
Designed for Open Architecture Installations
Modern commercial spaces increasingly utilize exposed ceilings as part of their architectural design. The PM8FA's attractive pendant enclosure allows it to blend naturally into open ceiling environments while delivering superior acoustic performance.
The down-firing design projects sound directly into the listening area, ensuring consistent dispersion and excellent intelligibility throughout the space.
Simple and Flexible Installation
Installation is streamlined through the inclusion of a 3-meter suspension cable kit featuring a self-gripping ferrule suspension system. This design significantly simplifies mounting and reduces installation time compared to traditional pendant speaker systems.
For installations involving hard ceiling structures, the PM8FA is compatible with standard 3/4-inch ceiling fan mounting hardware, providing additional flexibility for contractors and system integrators.
Ideal for Music and Paging Applications
The combination of wide coverage, high intelligibility, and full-range frequency response makes the PM8FA particularly effective for both background music systems and voice paging applications. Whether deployed in retail stores, hospitality environments, schools, transportation facilities, or office buildings, the speaker delivers clear and natural sound reproduction throughout the listening area.
