Sonance PS-S85T 8in High-Output Surface-Mount Loudspeaker (Each) - Black

About: Sonance PS-S85T 8in High-Output Surface-Mount Loudspeaker (Each) - Black

The PS-S85T is a high-output surface-mount loudspeaker built for commercial environments. Its UL94V-0 polypropylene enclosure and IPX4 ingress protection support both indoor and outdoor deployment, while the 8" aluminum woofer and neodymium compression driver deliver 93dB sensitivity and selectable dispersion patterns.

• Field-selectable 120° or 80° dispersion coverage
• Horn and collar assembly ships in-box; field-adjustable
• 1.4" compression driver engineered for high-SPL commercial environments
• Extended low-frequency response
• Integrated 70V/100V transformer, 120W max tap
• Part of a complete High Output form factor family

PROFESSIONAL SERIES High Output Family

The Professional Series High Output Loudspeakers deliver elevated SPL, controlled dispersion, and clear speech intelligibility in demanding commercial environments. Each model pairs an 8-inch low-frequency driver with a 1.4-inch coaxially mounted compression driver, enabling the series to handle foreground music and open microphone applications with extended low-frequency response down to 41 Hz — often eliminating the need for subwoofers and reducing system complexity.

The advanced Variable Dispersion technology allows installers to fine tune coverage patterns, targeting specific audience zones with precision, to address challenging acoustic spaces while maintaining consistent sound quality. Optional mounting accessories and finish options offer flexible installation and design matching.

IMMERSIVE POWER

8” woofer with 1.4” coaxially mounted compression driver handles foreground music, open microphones, and high-dynamic-range applications, delivering unmatched clarity and coverage.

VARIABLE DISPERSION

Magnetically attached horn and collar assembly provides 120° or 80° coverage options, is field-adjustable without special tools, and includes a two-position switch that optimizes the crossover for each configuration.

INSTALLATION VERSATILITY

Available in Surface, Pendant, Blind Mount In-ceiling, and Two-piece In-ceiling Pre-install System — all with identical tonal character for seamless mix-and-match deployment.
