AtlasIED PM8CX 8" 2-Way High Output Pendant Speaker With 70V Transformer | Black

The AtlasIED PM8CX series is designed for audio integrators and systems engineers tackling high-ceiling installed sound environments where conventional pendant speakers fall short. Built around the 8CXT60 compression driver coaxial transducer, this speaker achieves efficiency levels that reduce amplifier headroom demands while maintaining consistent coverage across wide listening areas. The tighter 90-degree conical dispersion pattern in the 2kHz octave band is a deliberate engineering choice for installations in atriums, lobbies, houses of worship, and large retail spaces where mounting heights push beyond what standard pendant speakers can serve effectively.

The integrated 70.7V transformer with four wattage taps provides the flexibility installers need to precisely tune distributed audio system loads without external components. The concealed terminal block keeps wiring clean and professional, while compatibility with standard three-quarter-inch ceiling fan hardware means integrators can work with readily available mounting infrastructure rather than proprietary hardware. The included cable and mounting hardware reduce sourcing steps during installation.

For AV integrators specifying distributed audio in facilities with mounting heights approaching or exceeding 25 to 30 feet, the PM8CX directly addresses the coverage gap left by lower-sensitivity and wider-dispersion alternatives. The five-year warranty further supports specification in long-term installation contracts.
