GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Since the introduction of the Voice of the Theatr
system in 1945, Altec Lansing's 515 series have been the leading
low frequency loudspeakers in cinemas and auditoriums all over
the world. The 515 is truly legendary, and Altec Lansing's 515-
8HHP and 515-16HHP are the two newest models in this series.
Continuing in the tradition of the 515 series, these two new
models produce the outstanding fidelity that established Altec
Lansing as the number one choice in theater, auditorium, and
studio applications.
The 515-8HHP and 515-16HHP are constructed from one of the
industry's largest magnet structures mated to a very lightweight
cone assembly, resulting in two of the most efficient low
frequency loudspeakers that Altec Lansing has ever produced.
Both low frequency loudspeakers incorporate a high-power
handling, edge-wound aluminum, flat-wire voice-coil, which is
designed for dependability and high acoustic output level
capability. These low frequency loudspeakers also feature a
special cloth suspension, which provides extended low frequency
response and extremely high linearity. The new 515-HHP series
loudspeakers are designed to maximize the performance of bass
horn enclosures (vented or sealed).
The 515-16HHP is rated at a nominal 16 ohm impedance, making
it the first choice for dual-loudspeaker, vented bass horn
cabinets, like the Altec Lansing 210/211 and 817A enclosures.
Installation of these low frequency loudspeakers is made simple
with 0.25-inch blade type wire terminals, allowing either solder
connections or crimp type quick-connect wire terminals.
The Altec Lansing models 515-8HHP and 515-16HHP are perfect
complements to our high frequency compression drivers when
the requirements are superior efficiency, excellent low frequency
response, premium sound quality, high acoustic output level, and
absolute reliability.
