Electro-Voice 1828C Specifications

General Product Description
The 1828T and 1828C are heavy-duty convertible drivers
for use in medium power public address installations.
The drivers have rugged phenolic diaphragms, 1.5 inch
diameter voice coils, and "rim centered" ferrite magnet
structures for long life and reliability under extreme operating
conditions.
The transformer model (1828T) includes connections for
70V/25V distributed systems and a power tap select panel.
The exterior is finished in durable waterproof paint, and all
metal parts have been treated for resistance to high humidity
and fungus.
Ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, these drivers
are well suited for any installation requiring rugged and
reliable performance.
Architects' and Engineers' Specifications
The loudspeaker(s) shall be of the compression-driver type
having a rugged phenolic diaphragm and a high-temperature
rated one and one-half inch voice coil.
The loudspeaker(s) shall exhibit essentially flat power
response from 400 to 3,000 Hz with a smoothly rolled-off
response beyond. Their sensitivity, when mounted on a

Hz pink noise signal applied.
The loudspeaker(s) will be capable of handling a 30 watt,
500 to 5,000 Hz pink noise signal with a 6 dB crest factor for
a period of eight hours.
