LT 9402™-III Loudspeaker Product Description
The Bose
®
Panaray
®
LT 9402™-III loudspeaker is a mid/high-frequency device designed for
medium throw distances. The LT 9402-III loudspeaker offers an 95˚ horizontal by 39˚ vertical
dispersion pattern that allows you to cover a large seating area and direct energy away from
reflective surfaces such as ceilings.
When arrayed correctly, LT 9402-III loudspeakers behave sonically as a large single source of
sound energy. This Coherent Wavefront provides full fidelity and even-coverage at critical
mid- and high-frequencies throughout the coverage area of the array.
Each PANARAY LT 9402-III loudspeaker uses two V2 mid-frequency drivers and a 1.4" com-
pression driver mounted on a 90˚H x 40˚V constant directivity waveguide.
The LT 9402-III loudspeaker can be operated in passive or bi-amplified modes.
• In passive mode, the internal passive crossover network is utilized and a single amplified
signal is connected to the loudspeaker.
• In bi-amplified mode, the mid-frequency and high-frequency drivers are accessed through
separate pins on the Neutrik NL4 connectors.
Active equalization for the LT 9402 III loudspeaker an be provided by using the Panaray
LT 9402-III EQ card or the Panaray System controller with presets for each Panaray speaker
and combination of speakers. A parametric equalizer can replicate the active equalization
curve on the following page, along with a high-pass filter and low pass filter as shown.

How our loudspeakers are measured
1. Power Handling
Full bandwidth pink noise, meeting the IEC Standard #268-5, is applied to the loudspeaker and amplified to a level at the loudspeaker
terminals corresponding to the power handling of the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker must show no visible damage or measurable loss
of performance after 100 hours of continuous testing.
2. Sensitivity
Full bandwidth pink noise is applied to the loudspeaker with its active equalization curve and amplified to a level at the loudspeaker
terminals corresponding to 1 watt as referenced to the nominal impedance. The average sound pressure level (dB-SPL) is measured
at 1 meter from the speaker in an anechoic environment.
3. Maximum SPL
Full bandwidth pink noise is applied to the loudspeaker with its active equalization curve and amplified to a level at the loudspeaker
terminals corresponding to the long-term rated power handling of the speaker. The average sound pressure level (dB-SPL) is mea-
sured at 1 meter from the speaker in an anechoic environment.
4. Frequency Range
Sine waves are injected into the loudspeaker and the level is adjusted to 1 watt, as referenced to the nominal impedance, and the
level measured at 1meter. Resulting graph is smoothed by 0.05 octave-band.
