against either surface of its mounting flange
and requires a 229 mm (9.0 in.) diameter cutout
and a 244 mm (9.62 in.) bolt circle. Normal
fasteners up to 6 mm (1/4 in.) will fit through the
eight holes in the frame. Front mounting is
simplest using the optional SMH-1 speaker
mounting kit.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The DL10X is fitted with a pair of plated, frame-
mounted connectors with color-coded ends.
Electrical connection is made by pushing down,
inserting wire completely through the rectangu-
lar slot and releasing pressure. One conductor
of #9 stranded, #8 AWG solid, a pair of twisted
#15 AWG stranded or a pair of #14 AWG solid
conductors will fit.
AES RECOMMENDED PRACTICE
The DL10X’s specifications conform to the “AES
Recommended Practice for Specification of
Components Used in Professional Audio and
Sound Reinforcement” (AES2-1984/ANSI
S4.26-1984). This recommended practice was
developed over a number of years by consult-
ants, manufacturers and government agencies
from around the world, so that the detailed
performance information required in profes-
sional applications could be provided in a uni-
fied format. The recommended practice has
been published in the October, 1984, issue of
the
Journal of the Audio Engineering Society
(vol. 26, pp. 771-780). Individual copies of the
recommended practice are available from the
Audio Engineering Society, 60 East 42nd Street,
New York, New York 10165, USA. Also ap-
pearing in this issue is an article which com-
ments on the recommended practice from an
engineering point of view (C.A. Henricksen,
“Engineering Justifications for Selected Por-
tions of the AES Recommended Practice for
Specification of Loudspeaker Components,”
pp. 763-769). The comments in this article will
be particularly of interest to those not involved
in the day-to-day design and testing of loud-
speakers.
ARCHITECTS’ AND ENGINEERS’
SPECIFICATIONS
The low/mid-frequency woofer shall have a
nominal diameter of 25.4 mm (10 in.), an overall
depth of 120 mm (4.7 in.) and weigh less than
8.6 kg (19.0 lb). The frame shall be constructed
of strong, deformation-resistant die-cast alumi-
num. The magnet assembly shall incorporate
PROTEF
TM
protection, a TIR
TM
(Thermo Induc-
tive Ring) and FDD
TM
(Flux Demodulation De-
vice) to reduce inductive coupling and increase
power handling. The cone and dust dome should
withstand use in damp and humid conditions.
The voice coil shall have a diameter of 63.5 mm
(2.5 in.), a winding depth of 15.2 mm (0.6 in.)
and be made of edge-wound aluminum ribbon.
The voice-coil former shall be made of aero-
space-grade polyimide laminate and bonded
with high-temperature epoxy adhesives. The
performance specification of a representative
production unit shall be as follows: measured
sensitivity (SPL at 1 m (3.3 ft) with 1 watt input,
100- to 800-Hz pink noise) shall be in excess of
98 dB. The reference efficiency shall be at least
5.92%. The usable response shall be 100 to
5,000 Hz, and the nominal impedance shall be
8 ohms. The EIA rated power shall be 300
watts. The low/mid-frequency transducer shall
be the Electro-Voice DL10X.
