The AtlasIED C10AT72 is a professional 8-inch dual-cone loudspeaker with a factory-installed 4-watt transformer, designed for commercial paging, background music, and distributed audio systems. Combining the proven AtlasIED C10A speaker with an LT-72 line-matching transformer, this assembly provides a practical solution for commercial, industrial, and institutional sound installations.
Featuring a treated-paper cone, 10-ounce ceramic magnet, and 1-inch copper voice coil, the C10AT72 is engineered to deliver clear speech reproduction and reliable background music performance.
With a 100Hz–10kHz frequency response, 94dB average sensitivity, and 105° dispersion, this speaker is well suited for installations requiring dependable audio coverage across offices, retail stores, schools, warehouses, and other commercial environments.
The factory-installed transformer supports both 25V and 70.7V distributed audio systems, while the speaker's compatibility with a wide selection of AtlasIED baffles and enclosures provides installation flexibility.
8-Inch Dual-Cone Speaker for Commercial Audio
The AtlasIED C10AT72 incorporates the C10A dual-cone loudspeaker, designed for general-purpose commercial sound reinforcement.
Its 8-inch treated-paper cone provides audio reproduction suitable for both paging announcements and background music.
The speaker features a curvilinear cone design intended to reduce harmonic distortion and provide smooth sound reproduction.
A 10-ounce ceramic magnet and 1-inch copper voice coil contribute to the speaker's performance and durability.
The voice coil incorporates a black-anodized aluminum former designed to help dissipate heat during operation.
These features make the C10AT72 a practical choice for commercial distributed audio systems requiring dependable, general-purpose loudspeakers.
Factory-Installed LT-72 Transformer
The C10AT72 includes the AtlasIED LT-72 line-matching transformer, factory-mounted to the speaker assembly.
This transformer allows the loudspeaker to operate in compatible 25V or 70.7V constant-voltage audio systems.
Available transformer power taps include:
- 0.25 watts
- 0.5 watts
- 1 watt
- 2 watts
- 4 watts
These selectable settings allow installers to adjust speaker output levels according to the requirements of each listening area.
Lower tap settings may be suitable for quiet background music applications, while higher settings can provide additional output where needed.
The C10A loudspeaker has a 25-watt speaker power rating, while the included LT-72 transformer provides a maximum selectable tap of 4 watts.
This distinction is important when designing and configuring the audio system.
Clear Voice Reproduction and Wide Sound Coverage
The AtlasIED C10AT72 offers a 100Hz–10kHz frequency response and sensitivity ratings of 97dB peak and 94dB average.
These characteristics make it suitable for speech-focused distributed audio systems and general background music applications.
The speaker also provides a 105° dispersion angle, helping distribute sound throughout the listening area.
This coverage pattern is useful in commercial environments where multiple loudspeakers are installed to provide consistent paging and music levels.
Actual speaker spacing should be determined according to ceiling height, room acoustics, and the required sound pressure level.
Compatible with AtlasIED Baffles and Enclosures
The C10AT72 is designed for use with a variety of compatible AtlasIED round and square speaker baffles and enclosures.
This flexibility allows installers to select mounting components based on the installation's functional and appearance requirements.
Unlike a complete ceiling speaker package, the C10AT72 is a speaker and transformer assembly. The appropriate baffle, enclosure, and mounting accessories must be selected separately unless specifically included in the product offering.
This makes the C10AT72 suitable for new installations as well as replacement applications where compatible mounting hardware is already available.

- Commercial paging systems
- Office background music
- Retail store sound systems
