The AtlasIED WD417-72V is an 8-inch commercial wall-mount loudspeaker package combining dependable audio performance with an attractive walnut-grain enclosure and black fabric grille. Designed for 25V and 70.7V distributed audio systems, it provides a practical solution for background music, paging, and voice announcements in offices, classrooms, retail stores, conference facilities, and other commercial environments.
Unlike conventional flat-front wall speakers, the WD417-72V features a 9.5° sloped baffle that directs sound outward at an angle. This design helps installers position audio coverage toward the intended listening area while maintaining a clean, furniture-style appearance.
Each speaker package includes an 8-inch loudspeaker with a 5-ounce ceramic magnet, a factory-installed dual-voltage transformer, and an integrated 50-ohm volume control. The volume can be adjusted using the removable knob or a screwdriver, allowing convenient individual speaker adjustment while helping discourage unauthorized changes.
With selectable 0.5W, 1W, 2W, and 4W transformer taps, the WD417-72V offers flexibility for distributed audio installations requiring different output levels throughout a building.
Features and Benefits
9.5° Sloped Baffle for Directional Sound Projection
The WD417-72V features a specially designed wall enclosure with a 9.5-degree slope that offsets sound projection toward the listening area.
This angled design is useful for wall-mounted installations where speaker placement and coverage direction are important, including hallways, offices, reception areas, and classrooms.
8-Inch Loudspeaker for Commercial Audio
The integrated 8-inch cone loudspeaker features a 5-ounce ceramic magnet and is designed for clear reproduction of speech and background music.
With a published frequency response of 50Hz–15kHz and sensitivity of 96dB at 1 watt/1 meter, it provides practical performance for everyday commercial sound applications.
Dual-Voltage 25V / 70.7V Transformer
A factory-assembled transformer allows the WD417-72V to operate with compatible 25V or 70.7V distributed speaker systems.
Selectable power taps of 0.5W, 1W, 2W, and 4W give installers control over individual speaker power requirements.
This flexibility helps balance audio coverage across rooms and zones while managing the total connected amplifier load.
Built-In Individual Speaker Volume Control
An integrated 50-ohm volume control allows adjustment of the individual speaker without changing the main amplifier's volume setting.
This is particularly useful in installations where different rooms require different listening levels.
Removable Knob for Added Security
The volume control can be adjusted using its knob or a screwdriver.
Removing the knob after setup helps reduce unwanted adjustments in schools, offices, and other shared environments.
Walnut-Grain Enclosure with Black Fabric Grille
The WD417-72V features a walnut-grain vinyl-covered enclosure with a black fabric grille.
Its furniture-style appearance makes it well suited for professional interiors where the visual appearance of installed audio equipment matters.
Factory-Assembled Speaker Package
The loudspeaker, transformer, enclosure, and volume control are supplied as an integrated package.
This reduces the need to select and assemble separate speaker components, helping simplify installation and product selection.
Designed for Surface-Mount Installations
The enclosure is designed for wall-mounted commercial audio applications.
Its compact footprint and angled front provide an alternative to ceiling-mounted loudspeakers in spaces where ceiling installation is impractical or a decorative wall speaker is preferred.
