RCF PL 68EN - 6W 6-inch Passive 100V Ceiling Loudspeaker with 126-Degree Coverage and EN54-24 Certification in White Finish

The RCF PL 68EN is a high-performance ceiling speaker designed for recessed installation in ceilings or panels, with a primary focus on providing clear and intelligible sound reproduction, particularly for applications requiring alarm message broadcasting. It is specially built to meet stringent safety requirements and is EN54-24 certified, making it an ideal solution for environments that demand reliable, fire-resistant equipment, such as public address (PA) systems in buildings with high fire safety standards. This speaker ensures consistent performance even in high-temperature conditions, offering protection from potential fire hazards while maintaining sound clarity.

Equipped with a 6" full-range transducer, the PL 68EN delivers a frequency response of 230 Hz to 20,000 Hz, ensuring it effectively covers the critical frequency range for voice and alarm message clarity. Its wide 126° coverage angle ensures even sound distribution across large areas, making it suitable for spaces that require broad coverage, such as corridors, open areas, and hallways. The speaker offers a maximum SPL of 102 dB at 1 meter and 90 dB at 4 meters, ensuring it delivers sufficient volume levels for clear intelligible sound, even in larger rooms or areas with background noise.

To ensure durability and safety in challenging environments, the PL 68EN features a flameproof steel back can, which is resistant to high temperatures encountered in fires. This construction helps prevent the speaker from being compromised during emergencies. Additionally, the speaker includes flameproof ceramic terminal blocks for both input and output connections, ensuring the speaker remains operational and safe in critical conditions. The thermal fuse within the speaker protects the internal circuitry in the event of extreme temperatures, making the speaker highly reliable in fire alarm applications.

The speaker's power selection options (6W, 3W, and 1.5W) can be easily adjusted via a rotary switch, giving users flexibility to match the speaker to different system requirements. This versatility allows the speaker to be used in both low-power and high-power configurations within a 100V constant voltage system. The PL 68EN is compatible with a variety of amplifiers, such as the DXT 3000, DXT 4000, and DXT 7000, to ensure optimal performance in any setup.

With its white finish (RAL 9003), the PL 68EN blends seamlessly into most ceiling installations, providing a clean, professional look. The compact design, with a diameter of 8.66 inches and a height of just 3.54 inches, makes the PL 68EN an ideal choice for discreet and efficient ceiling-mounted installations. The sturdy steel frame, grille, and back cover provide long-lasting durability, and the speaker's lightweight construction (weighing just 2.47 lbs) ensures easy handling and installation.

In conclusion, the RCF PL 68EN is a robust and reliable ceiling speaker that combines exceptional sound quality with fire safety features, making it the ideal choice for PA systems and alarm message broadcasting in environments with stringent fire safety regulations. Its wide coverage, high intelligibility, and compact design ensure it performs effectively in various installation scenarios, while its fire-resistant properties make it a trusted choice for critical applications.
