1 INNOVATIVE TRI-CONE LOUDSPEAKER EXCELLENT SPEECH AND MUSIC REPRODUCTION NO COMPROMISE BETWEEN ACOUSTICS AND AESTHETICS CONSTANT DIRECTIVITY WITH WAVE GUIDE GRILLE PREDICTABLE SOUND QUALITY WITH (OPTIONAL) BACK BOX CHOICE OF METAL OR PLASTIC CIRCULAR GRILLES METAL FIRE DOME (DIN 4102 CERTIFIED) CEILING LOUDSPEAKERS INSTALLATION FRIENDLY Philips loudspeakers offer a combination of quality, performance and innovation in public address. They are the result of over half a century s experience in professional audio, and meet virtually all sound reinforcement system requirements. Modular Ceiling Loudspeakers The Modular Ceiling Loudspeaker System removes the need to compromise between acoustic performance and aesthetic appeal. Three high-quality loudspeaker units can be fitted with metal or plastic circular grilles finished in a neutral RAL white colour. There is a a standard 6 W model (LBC 3510/00), a highperformance 12 W model (LBC 3520/00) and a powerful 24 W model (LBC 3530/00). They are suitable for excellent speech and music in indoor public address applications.the range also includes a metal fire dome, and surface- and flush-mounting boxes. The loudspeaker units and back box include provision for mounting the optional Loudspeaker Surveillance Board (LSB). Innovative tri-cone loudspeakers The loudspeaker units are equipped with dynamic tri-cone loudspeakers with exceptional audio performance in prestigeous Prosound applications. Rigid transducer frame The transducer frame is made from high-impact glassreinforced thermosetting polyester material for maximum rigidity and excellent sound quality free from unwanted vibrations. The frame includes a bass reflex port for improved low frequency response. Unique wave guide technology The optional LBC 3603/01 wave guide grille is a breakthrough in ceiling loudspeaker technology. It ensures a wide and equal spread of the important frequency octaves for speech intelligibility and music clarity, giving the constant directivity. Fewer loudspeakers are needed to cover a given area, and the noticeable fading that can occur as a listener walks from one loudspeaker to another area is eliminated.the wave guide grille can be applied on all loudspeaker units, although it is acoustical optimised for the LBC 3530/00. Choice of grilles Three bayonet-fitting circular grilles are also available.the LBC 3601/01 is a metal grille with a perforated pattern, and the LBC 3602/01 is made from self-extinguishing ABS material with an attractive perforation pattern. The LBC 3603/01 wave guide grille is supplied with the wave guide.all grilles feature quick bayonet fittings for securing them to the loudspeaker frame. The smooth organic curves of the grilles have been designed to enhance both modern and traditional interiors. Philips Communication, Security & Imaging 223

2 Back box The LBC 3665/00 back box can be secured onto the back of the loudspeaker frame (fitted as standard on the 24 W LBC 3530/00). This results in a bass reflex enclosure for very predictable sound quality. The better controlled cone excursion gives less distortion of low frequencies at higher power. It also prevents sound traveling via the ceiling cavity to adjacent areas, fully protects the loudspeaker from dust and makes the unit vermin proof. Fire dome The LBC 3650/00 metal fire dome fits over the back of the loudspeaker unit, but is secured to the ceiling panel for a better seal around the cut-out made for the loudspeaker. The fire dome combined with the highly fire-resistant thermosetting material used for the loudspeaker frame means the MCS 3500 system is certified as F30 according to DIN Installation friendly The series is very installation friendly. A cutting template is supplied with each unit, and the loudspeaker frame is secured in ceilings up to 50 mm (2 inch) thick using three integral screw clamps. A safety cord allows the installer to temporarily hang the loudspeaker unit on the ceiling support frame during installation.this third hand is particularly useful when working on ladders or in confined areas. It also provides extra reassurance after installation. Simple power setting Connections are made using a push-button terminal block on the frame.this block has double terminal for simple loop-through wiring. Cables are fed through a channel in the loudspeaker frame, enabling wiring to be carried out from the front once the loudspeaker assembly has been mounted. Power tapping on the 100 V matching transformer allows selection of full-power, half-power or quarter-power radiation. A switch at the front of the frame simplifies selection of power setting. Mounting boxes For securing the loudspeakers to walls or hard ceilings, two mounting boxes are available. The LBC 3655/00 is a flush-mounting box for building into a wall or built into concrete ceilings, and the LBC 3660/01 is a surface mounting box in the same white colour as the grilles. Quality Assurance All Philips loudspeakers are designed to withstand operating at their rated power for 100 hours in accordance with IEC Power Handling Capacity (PHC) standards. Philips has also developed the Simulated Acoustical Feedback Exposure (SAFE) test to demonstrate that they can withstand two times their rated power for short durations. This ensures extra reliability under extreme conditions, leading to higher customer satisfaction, longer operating life, and much less chance of failure or performance deterioration. Safety aspects In common with all Philips products, care is taken to meet high safety standards.the loudspeakers comply with the relevant safety and installation regulations of EN All plastic parts are self-extinguishing according to UL94V0.
