The FA-907 is easily field adjustable for both mounting height and pattern width.

There are two push buttons and two rows of LEDs on the top side of the array. One sets the mounting height above the floor in one foot increments from 8 to 14 feet.

The other button controls the pattern width in seven steps from tight to a circle appropriately 10 feet in diameter.

Audio input is line level, transformer isolated, either balanced or unbalanced. A volume control and two position gain switch controls the built in amplifier which accommodates a wide range of audio input levels.



A three position switch controls a built in equalizer with three preset adjustments to the audio frequency response for the program material.

The music position provides full range sound.

The voice with music position has a slight rise in the high frequency response to enhance voice intelligibility while maintaining good music reproduction.

The voice position reduces low frequencies for maximum voice intelligibility.The array accepts any standard line level input, either balanced or unbalanced.

For installations where the audio level is set remotely, a switch disables the volume control.

The FA-907 focused sound arrays are powered by either 16 to 18 Volts AC or 24 Volts DC. A plug-in 16 VAC transformer is supplied for installations where local 120 power is available. Where the array power and signal cables share the same conduit, we suggest powering them with 24VDC.

Generally, the arrays are suspended by four thin (0.080 inch) aircraft cables with easily adjustable clips (supplied). Optionally, four threaded inserts, either 1/4 - 20 American or 6 millimeter metric, are available.

The units are constructed of aluminum, with a non-reflective black powder coat finish.
