Bogen Communications OPS1W home audio speaker 15" 10 lb off-white

Pendant speaker for distributed audio

The Bogen OPS1W is a pendant-style loudspeaker designed for ceiling-suspended installations in commercial and residential spaces. Its coaxial driver layout combines a 6-1/2 inch metal-alloy low-frequency cone with a 20 mm polycarbonate dome tweeter. The enclosure measures 15 inches in diameter and 9-1/4 inches deep, weighing 10 pounds. An off-white textured finish can be painted to match surrounding decor.

Suits venues needing wide, even coverage

Installers covering open-plan offices, retail floors, restaurants or houses of worship will benefit from the 140 degree dispersion pattern and consistent off-axis response. The selectable front-mounted power taps and 16-ohm input simplify multi-speaker runs without transformers. Buyers who need a flush-mount ceiling speaker, a weather-rated outdoor model or a self-powered wireless unit should consider other product types.

140 degree coaxial dispersion decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 140 degree coverage angle produced by the wide-dispersion coaxial driver. This angle governs how many units are required to fill a given floor area with uniform sound pressure. If the space demands narrower directivity for long-throw applications or wider omnidirectional radiation for ambient fill, a different speaker geometry will be required.
