The AtlasIED GD87W is an 8-inch coaxial ceiling loudspeaker designed for commercial paging, background music, educational, and installed sound applications. It combines an 8-inch low-frequency driver with a 3-inch coaxially mounted high-frequency driver and built-in crossover network for wider frequency reproduction than a conventional dual-cone ceiling speaker.

A factory-installed 8-watt 70.7V transformer provides selectable 1, 2, 4, and 8-watt taps for distributed audio systems. The GD87W is supplied with an AtlasIED 62-8 cold-rolled steel baffle, featuring concealed loudspeaker mounting studs and screw-mount installation hardware.

With 96 dB average sensitivity and 105° dispersion, the GD87W is designed to provide broad coverage for commercial ceiling speaker installations.

8-Inch Coaxial Speaker Design

The GD87W uses an 8-inch low-frequency driver together with a 3-inch coaxially mounted high-frequency driver.

An integrated crossover network divides the audio signal between the low- and high-frequency drivers, providing extended frequency reproduction for applications requiring both clear voice reproduction and background music.

The GD87W provides a specified frequency response of 50 Hz–15 kHz and average sensitivity of 96 dB.

8-Watt 70.7V Transformer

A factory-installed 70.7V line-matching transformer allows the GD87W to operate in distributed commercial audio systems.

Available transformer taps include:

• 1 watt
• 2 watts
• 4 watts
• 8 watts

These selectable taps allow installers to set individual speaker output while managing the total connected load on a 70.7V amplifier.

105° Coverage

The GD87W provides 105° dispersion at the 2 kHz octave band (-6 dB points).

Its wide coverage makes it suitable for distributed ceiling installations where multiple loudspeakers are positioned throughout classrooms, offices, retail spaces, public facilities, and other commercial environments.

Includes AtlasIED 62-8 Steel Baffle

The GD87W is factory installed on an AtlasIED 62-8 cold-rolled steel (CRS) baffle.

The baffle features concealed loudspeaker mounting studs for a clean finished appearance and includes screw-mount hardware for installation with compatible AtlasIED ceiling mounting accessories.
