2 Featuring a single rippled dome tweeter that produces a consistent, uniform high frequency performance, the Diablo Target is capable of extended frequency response of up to 40kHz at 92dB (1w +/-2dB) as well as high sound pressure levels, even from modestly sized amplifiers. The Target features one 5-1/2 mid / bass unit and can also be used in conjunction with an Artcoustic subwoofer, such as the Diablo Sub Panel, for even better low-frequency performance. For ease of installation, the Diablo Target includes one easy to mount in-ceiling kit and the revolutionary Artcoustic Target Lens, which makes it possible to direct the high frequency response in a desired direction, allowing the sound to be focused on a specific listening area. The only visible part of the Diablo Target is the face of its square shaped grille, measuring 7-7/8 H x 7-7/8 W x 2-3/4 inches. This conceals a 2-way multi-purpose loudspeaker; 1 x 5.5 inch LF-MF unit, 1 x 1.5 inch 90-degree X2 HF unit. The Page 2 of 5
