GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The 4156-8A is the latest in a 60 year Altec Lansing tradition of
quality loudspeaker components. High power, high efficiency
and linear response make this 15" (381 mm) transducer a very
capable low frequency component for conventional cluster
designs or subwoofers.
Possibly the most celebrated legacy of Altec Lansing is
dependability. The 4156-8A loudspeaker is constructed from a
reinforced corrosion-resistant die-cast frame, a rugged ferrite
magnet structure, and a weather-resistant cone.
The 4156-8A loudspeaker is designed for direct radiator vented
enclosures. An internal enclosure volume of just under 4 cubic
feet (113 liters) is all that is required for the 4156-8A loudspeaker
to provide 3 dB down frequency response to 50 Hz. Installation
of this low frequency loudspeaker is made simple with 0.25 inch
(6 mm) blade type wire terminals on a two position barrier strip,
allowing bare wire leads, solder connections or crimp type quick-
connect wire terminals.
The Altec Lansing model 4156-8A is an excellent component for
custom subwoofers and a perfect complement to our high
frequency compression drivers when the requirements are high
power capability, linear low frequency response, high acoustic
output level, and absolute reliability.
