Overview
15-inch Horn-Loaded Full-Range Loudspeaker with 60° x 60° Horn
PD566 is a Precision Directivity™ loudspeaker designed for applications requiring high output capability with excellent pattern control. PD566 can be utilized in music or speech systems where frequency extension to 80 Hz is adequate or combined with subwoofers to create extended bandwidth fullrange systems.
