AtlasIED PM8SUB 8" Pendant Subwoofer with 70.7V Transformer

The AtlasIED PM8SUB is a professional 8-inch pendant subwoofer designed to deliver extended low-frequency performance in commercial audio installations with high or exposed ceilings. Featuring the AtlasIED Strategy II Series FAP8SUB driver, this down-firing subwoofer provides the bass reinforcement needed to complement full-range pendant and ceiling loudspeakers in restaurants, retail stores, hospitality venues, offices, and other commercial environments.

With a specified 46 Hz–160 Hz frequency response, 150-watt RMS power handling at 8 ohms, and an integrated 70.7V transformer, the PM8SUB offers flexible integration into both distributed audio systems and low-impedance amplifier configurations.

Its suspended enclosure provides an attractive alternative to traditional floor-mounted subwoofers, allowing installers to add low-frequency reinforcement without occupying valuable floor space.

Features and Benefits

8-Inch Strategy II Series Subwoofer Driver

The PM8SUB incorporates the AtlasIED FAP8SUB 8-inch driver, engineered to reproduce the lower frequencies that conventional full-range commercial speakers may not adequately deliver.

By adding dedicated bass reinforcement, the PM8SUB helps create a fuller, more balanced listening experience for background and foreground music systems.

This makes it particularly useful in hospitality, retail, and entertainment environments where music quality contributes to the overall customer experience.

Extended Low-Frequency Performance

With a frequency response of 46 Hz to 160 Hz, the PM8SUB is designed to reproduce low-frequency audio content while complementing compatible full-range loudspeakers.

Its specified 92 dB average sensitivity supports efficient bass reproduction in commercial sound systems.

When properly integrated with full-range speakers, the PM8SUB helps improve perceived warmth and depth without requiring larger, more visible floor-standing loudspeakers.

Flexible 70.7V and 8-Ohm Operation

The PM8SUB includes an integrated transformer with selectable power taps for distributed audio applications.

Available operating options include:

• 7.5W, 15W, 30W, and 60W transformer taps for 70.7V systems
• 8-ohm bypass for compatible low-impedance amplifiers
• 150W RMS power handling in 8-ohm operation

These configurations allow installers to integrate the subwoofer into a variety of commercial audio systems.

Integrated Low-Pass Crossover

The PM8SUB features a three-pole low-pass crossover with an 18 dB-per-octave slope at 120 Hz.

This crossover helps limit higher-frequency content reaching the subwoofer, allowing it to focus on bass reproduction.

Proper system design and level adjustment are important when integrating the PM8SUB with full-range pendant or ceiling speakers.

Omnidirectional Low-Frequency Coverage

The PM8SUB provides omnidirectional bass dispersion, allowing low-frequency energy to spread throughout the surrounding listening area.

This characteristic gives system designers flexibility when positioning the subwoofer within commercial spaces.

Room acoustics, ceiling height, and placement should still be considered to achieve balanced bass coverage.

Pendant Mounting for Open-Ceiling Environments

The PM8SUB features a suspended, down-firing enclosure designed for installations where traditional in-ceiling or floor-mounted subwoofers may be impractical.

Its pendant configuration is particularly useful in facilities with exposed ceilings, open architectural designs, or limited floor space.

Convenient Installation Hardware

The PM8SUB includes a 3-meter suspension cable kit with a self-gripping ferrule system.

It is also designed for use with appropriate 3/4-inch ceiling fan mounting hardware, including compatible FANTEC mounting arrangements for angled or hard ceilings up to 45°.

Installers should verify mounting hardware compatibility and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions, particularly given the subwoofer's weight.
