Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. do these come as a pair or is the price per individual speaker?

A: The price is per individual speaker.

Q: 2. Can they've used as a normal 16 ohm speaker not 70v or 100v?

A: Sort of, you will get sound but it will not operate very well at increased volumes. Ultimately I would not recommend doing it. I think it would eventually damage the voice coil.

Q: 3. what type of cable is needed to connect speakers to a system?

A: I would recommend a roll of Pro Co Sound - Excellines Type 16-2 Bulk Speaker CablePro Co Sound. 16 AWG is a very popular gauge for install systems.

Q: 4. I'm looking at using these for a church system. what do you recommend the placement to be between each speaker on a 9'-12' cathedral ceiling? Do you connect to both 2,3 and 1,4 to daisy chain the speakers or just 1,4 for the loop thru to the next speaker? And finally, can you use a standard 1/4 mono plug to speaker wire to connect the speakers?

A: Unfortunately for such a large job, we would not be able to make accurate recommendations or product suggestions off site. We would highly recommend bringing in a project professional who could inspect your location and make the appropriate recommendations per your design criteria. While we cannot make a specific recommendation, one of our manufacturers does offer this type of service. TOA Electronics is a premier manufacturer of audio and security products and does offer onsite design and installation. B&H would be more than happy to bid out the products required for your project.Please contact Johnathan Allen at 845-729-3482 / jonathan_allen@a href= http://toaelectronics.com. target= _blank toaelectronics.com./a He is an install professional that will be able to handle this type of large project for you.

Q: 5. new home built with surround sound prewire 5.1, what ceiling speakers are the best purchase ?

A: Those Yamahas, or the smaller ones would be my first or second choice. For quality three way adjustable speakers, at an amazing discount, they can't be beat.

Q: 6. If I wanted in pairs I just make the quantity 2?

A: The SoundTube Entertainment RS600i ships as a single unit if you require a pair, you will need to select a quantity of 2.

Q: 7. Toa amplifier used with this speaker?

A: The Toa BG-2120 Mixer Amplifier is designed to operate as the front end to any commercial audio system in background music (BGM), foreground music, paging applications and more. The BG-2120 features 5-channels and a power rating of 120 watts, with 2-zone operation allowing for separate programming in 2 discrete zones. The front panel features an intuitive set of controls with level dials for each channel. The rear is fitted with removable euroblock connectors and DIP switches for easy programming. The rugged chassis is easily rack mounted with the optional MB-1000 rack mount brackets.

Q: 8. How are they connected to sound system?

A: Integrated 20W transformer for 25 / 70.7 / 100W applications . Use plenum rated, 2-conductor 18 AWG stranded. These connect to 70 volt type amplifiers commonly used for commercial installations. They cannot connect to home av receivers or amplifiers.

Q: 9. Will this work for a yamaha HS7?

A: Yes it will. The Yamaha HS7 is 18.1 Lbs and the K&M 24195 weight capacity is 31.6 Lbs. Keep in mind this is a wall or ceiling bracket and will require you to drill some holes in the cabinet.

Q: 10. What is the distance between centers on the bolt pattern for the speaker mount?

A: The wall plate holes are 62 x 62mm on center, and the speaker plate is 62 x 47mm on center. The pre-drilled holes are 6.5mm in diameter.

[Approved] Installed 4 pairs of this in an auditorium of 60ftx40ft. Easy to install, sound quality is great. The wattage tap settings on the front make it easily accessible and simplify refining volume levels of the system especially when mounted on ceiling Also, the System Design Software on jblpro website helped a lot in validating speaker placement. 5

[Approved] Due to the relatively low cost, I was a little concerned that these would not satisfy our requirements for the space but man do these deliver. We have 4 of these running on one Sonos Amp in a large living room paired with a Sonos Sub. The speakers are mounted approx. 11ft off the ground on a sloped ceiling. VERY impressed with how they perform! 5

[8 Ω] We used these speakers to replace our old, tired ceiling speakers. They sounded much better than expectations, and for the price, were a true value.Value and price point are always important..but even those things are worthless without customer service, during and after the sale. Special thanks to Shoshana for her help and diligence to put this order together and shipped out in a timely fashion that allowed us to finish the project in a very tight window of opportunity.Shop with confidence at B&H..A Happy and Blessed Passover my friends!!Patrick Lambert, Director of FacilitiesSt. Thomas Aquinas College 5

[Approved] This speaker produces very nice sound in medium to large bedrooms for the money! 5

[Black] I use these speakers in meeting rooms of various sizes and for several purposes such as lectures, symposia, music playback, and movies. They are installed in drop ceilings, which, of course, has its drawbacks, but the response and delivery of these speakers is outstanding. I wouldn't think of going with another choice except to upgrade to the 47c/t in rooms that can handle more bass. response. 5

[Black] Great sound, easy install, bi-way capable. Didn't try it but it's cool to have it in case you need. Loud and clear sound. Only issues was BH letting me order 4 and they only had 2 in stock. They had me wait over a month until finally I cancel the rest of the order and bought from Adorama the other 2 speakers. 5

[3 kHz] Very good quality, easy installation, just cut a hole in the drywall/sheet rock with the included template, connect the wires, push the speaker into the cut out, the three holding arms will spring into place and you are done. Very good back ground sound for a small speaker. 5
