Dual Voice Coil Fire Safety Speaker System for Large-Scale Installations
The Atlas Sound UKT70-2C-U161-8 is a high-performance 8" dual voice coil loudspeaker system engineered specifically for fire protective signaling in large-scale environments. This comprehensive package includes a sophisticated speaker with dual 70.7V-5W transformers and a U161-8 baffle, providing an advanced and efficient communication tool for emergency situations. Whether you're upgrading an existing fire safety system or equipping a new building, this UL-listed speaker ensures that critical alerts and instructions are delivered with exceptional clarity, coverage, and redundancy across expansive areas.

Superior Sound Quality with Dual Voice Coil Technology
At the heart of the UKT70-2C-U161-8 is an 8" speaker featuring dual voice coils, a dual (whizzer) cone, and a robust 10 oz. ceramic magnet. This advanced configuration delivers extended frequency response, ensuring that both alarm tones and voice instructions are reproduced with high intelligibility and minimal distortion. The dual voice coil design provides an extra layer of reliability, allowing for continued operation even if one coil fails, which is crucial in life-safety applications where system integrity is paramount.

Efficient Installation for Large-Scale Projects
Installation efficiency is a key feature of the UKT70-2C-U161-8, especially beneficial for large-scale projects. The speaker comes with two factory-mounted 70.7V-5W transformers, eliminating the need for complex on-site transformer wiring and allowing for longer cable runs typical in larger installations. The included 6" color-coded leads further simplify the connection process, reducing installation time and potential wiring errors. This pre-assembled design makes the UKT70-2C-U161-8 an ideal choice for extensive installations where time, consistency, and redundancy are critical factors.

UL-Listed for Fire-Protective Signaling Systems
Safety compliance is non-negotiable in fire protection systems, and the UKT70-2C-U161-8 meets the stringent requirements of UL Standard 1480 for speakers in fire-protective signaling systems. This certification ensures that the speaker performs reliably under emergency conditions, providing peace of mind to building owners, managers, and occupants alike. To maintain UL compliance, remember to pair this speaker with a UL-approved enclosure, ensuring a fully certified fire safety audio system.

Aesthetic Integration with U161-8 Baffle
The included U161-8 baffle is designed to seamlessly blend the speaker into various ceiling designs, even in architecturally demanding spaces. This attention to aesthetics ensures that your fire safety system maintains a professional and unobtrusive appearance while still providing critical functionality. The baffle's design complements a wide range of architectural styles, making it suitable for installations in office buildings, hotels, schools, convention centers, and other large public spaces where appearance matters as much as performance.

Advanced Features for System Integration and Reliability
The UKT70-2C-U161-8 includes DC blocking capacitors for each voice coil, making it suitable for line supervision applications in complex fire alarm systems. This feature allows the speaker to be integrated into sophisticated setups that continuously monitor the integrity of the speaker lines, ensuring that any faults in the system are quickly detected and addressed. The dual 1" voice coils provide excellent sound reproduction and redundancy, crucial for delivering clear and intelligible emergency messages even in the event of a partial failure, which is especially important in large, crowded spaces.
