The AtlasIED DD87W-HC is an 8-inch coaxial ceiling speaker package designed for paging, background music, and voice reinforcement systems. It combines an 8-inch treated-paper loudspeaker, 3-inch high-frequency cone, 8-watt 70.7V transformer, and factory-mounted white baffle in a complete assembly for commercial sound installations.
The DD87W-HC is designed to provide acoustic performance consistent with the AtlasIED C803A, making it useful for expanding or updating installations where compatible sound characteristics are required.
A factory-applied Hyfidrophobic treatment provides additional moisture resistance for installations exposed to high humidity.
8" Coaxial Design for Music and Paging
The DD87W-HC uses an 8-inch coaxial loudspeaker with a 3-inch high-frequency cone to reproduce both speech and music from a single ceiling speaker assembly.
With a specified 96 dB sensitivity and 105° dispersion at the 2 kHz octave band, the speaker is designed to provide broad coverage for commercial distributed audio applications.
70.7V Transformer with Multiple Power Taps
An integrated 8-watt 70.7V transformer allows the DD87W-HC to connect directly to compatible commercial distributed audio systems.
Selectable transformer taps include:
-
1 watt
-
2 watts
-
4 watts
-
8 watts
The transformer has a specified 0.6 dB insertion loss, allowing installers to select the appropriate power level for the coverage and output requirements of each speaker location.
Factory-Mounted White Baffle
The DD87W-HC comes factory assembled with a 62-8 style CRS baffle, eliminating the need to separately mount the loudspeaker to the baffle.
The baffle features concealed mounting studs and a white powder-coat epoxy finish for a clean appearance in commercial ceiling installations.
Hyfidrophobic Treatment for High-Humidity Locations
The speaker assembly incorporates AtlasIED's Hyfidrophobic moisture-resistant treatment, making the DD87W-HC suitable for applications where elevated humidity may be present.
This makes it particularly useful for locations such as:
-
Restrooms
-
Locker rooms
-
Fitness facilities
-
Indoor pool areas
-
High-humidity commercial spaces
I would be a little careful with your original phrase “covered outdoor areas.” Moisture resistance doesn't automatically mean the complete assembly is outdoor-rated. Unless AtlasIED specifically lists this model for outdoor use, I would leave that application off the page.
