Choosing Pendant Speaker Power and Amplifier Type
Pendant speakers are often used in open-ceiling commercial spaces where several speakers need to share one amplifier. Selecting the correct system and power tap helps provide consistent coverage throughout the room.
70V / 100V Distributed Audio
Best for multiple pendant speakers and longer cable runs. Several speakers can share one commercial amplifier line, making 70V/100V systems practical for restaurants, retail stores, offices, showrooms and other open-ceiling spaces.
Each speaker is connected using the appropriate transformer tap. Add the selected wattage of every speaker to calculate the total load connected to the amplifier.
8Ω Low-Impedance Audio
Available on PX50. The PX50 can also operate with a compatible 8Ω low-impedance amplifier when a conventional low-impedance speaker system is preferred.
PZ50 is intended for 70V/100V distributed systems and should not be presented as an 8Ω speaker.
On a 70V system, PZ50 provides 1.25W / 2.5W / 5W settings. On a 100V system, PZ50 provides 2.5W / 5W / 10W settings.
For example, six PZ50 speakers set to 5W each create a total connected speaker load of: 6 × 5W = 30W
