About the Atlas Sound FA116T72 6" Speaker
The FA116T72 is a compact, high-performance coaxial loudspeaker designed for both direct installation and integration into custom enclosure systems across a wide range of sound reinforcement applications. At its core is a robust 6-inch woofer with a mineral-loaded polypropylene cone and a large, treated surround, engineered to deliver solid mid-bass response and handle significant power input. Mounted concentrically at the center of the woofer is a high-frequency compression driver, utilizing a precision phenolic diaphragm and a multi-slot phase plug to ensure smooth, extended high-end reproduction. This coaxial design places the acoustic centers of the two drivers in close alignment, resulting in superior phase coherence and a consistent, point-source dispersion pattern that is ideal for achieving clear, intelligible sound coverage in installed sound, stage monitor, or mobile DJ applications.
The speaker is built into a durable, injection-molded polypropylene basket that provides a rigid mounting platform while offering resistance to environmental factors like humidity. It features a standard 4-hole bolt-on mounting pattern, allowing for direct installation into appropriately sized cutouts in speaker cabinets, walls, or ceilings. The integrated high-frequency driver is coupled to an adjustable, constant-directivity horn that provides predictable coverage angles, which can be crucial for controlling sound dispersion in acoustically challenging spaces. A built-in passive crossover network, consisting of precision inductors and capacitors, seamlessly divides the audio signal between the woofer and tweeter, ensuring optimal driver protection and sonic balance without the need for external processing.
Versatility is a key strength, with the driver capable of being used as a standalone full-range unit or as part of a bi-amplified system when paired with an external active crossover. Its power handling and sensitivity specifications make it an efficient choice that can produce high sound pressure levels with moderate amplifier power. The combination of a durable construction, cohesive coaxial sound, and flexible application potential makes the FA116T72 a reliable and widely used component for sound professionals and DIY audio enthusiasts looking to build or upgrade speaker systems where space is limited but audio fidelity and projection are critical requirements.
