Lavoce Italiana has announced the new ICF061.00, an IP65-rated waterproof in-ceiling coaxial installation loudspeaker.
Accessible to OEM manufacturers only, ICF061.00 is a 6.5-inch 6Ω coaxial unit offering 86dB sensitivity, 100W programme power handling, and a 70Hz-22kHz frequency range with constant directivity. It is intended for stealth in-wall or in-ceiling installations that may be exposed to high levels of water, salt water or humidity.
In effect, ICF061.00 is totally sealed and uses a ferrite motor structure for the 6.5-inch driver and a neodymium motor structure for its marine certified 24mm soft dome tweeter, both being optimised using FEM techniques to maximise projection.
To support the IP65 rating, the Lavoce R&D team engineered a basket made from ABS material and have used a marine grade coated PCB for the built-in sealed crossover to prevent corrosion, together with a Polypropylene cone with UV inhibitors and NBR rubber surround for the woofer. The addition of silicone insulated lead wires further enhances its durability for outdoor applications.
The mounting depth of ICF061.00 is 81mm, and for a quick and easy installation it incorporates a simple and robust hooking system so there is no need to access above a ceiling or behind a wall and an edgeless mesh grille with a magnetic locking system for a near stealth installation.
MOQ dependent, ICF061.00 is available to purchase unbranded or with a customer branded rear label, and later this year it will also be available with a 70V/100V line transformer, named ICF061.00X.
‘ICF061.00 bridges our long heritage of premium performance coaxial speaker design and the innovative approach of our Italian R&D team, which has produced a product that will enable many of our OEM customers to offer a really impressive and stealth solution for install projects in high water environments,’ says Lavoce Pro Audio Division Manager, Pierpaolo DeMinicis.
