SPECIFICATIONS
SR102 Speaker
Column
The Speaker Column shall be a portable speaker
column designed for sound reinforcement applications.
The Column shall utilize two 10-inch and four 8-inch
cone-type speakers with a total speaker cone area of
1419
cm? (220 in2), and two high-frequency horn-type
speakers. Pressure sensitivity of the Column shall be
an EIA rating of 53 dB at
9.2m (30 feet) from 1 milli-
watt (equivalent to 101 dB at 1.2111-4 feet-with a
I-watt input).
The sound power distribution shall be nominally
uniform over a 1400 angle in the horizontal plane and
a
65O angle in the vertical plane. The Column enclo-
sure shall be acoustically rear-ported to provide a
feedback-minimizing, horizontal polarization pattern.
The usable frequency response of the Column shall
be uniform and peak-free from 100 Hz to 15,000 Hz
when driven by a constant-voltage amplifier.
The continuous power rating of the Column shall
be 100 watts maximum and the nominal impedance
shall be 16 ohms when driven from a 40-volt source.
When driven from a constant-voltage 70.7-volt line,
the continuous power rating shall be 100 watts maxi-
mum and the nominal impedance shall be 64 ohms.
All eight speakers shall be mounted against the
front baffle of the Column. The top four speakers (one
10-inch, two
&inch and one high-frequency) shall be
wired with a 5 kHz crossover network in a series-
parallel configuration and connected to a six-terminal
barrier terminal strip and two phone jacks. The bottom
four speakers shall be wired in a similar manner. By
appropriate strapping on the terminal strip, the two
speaker networks shall be connected in parallel for a
25-volt line with a nominal impedance of 16 ohms,
or in series for a 70-volt line with a nominal impedance
of 64 ohms.
The speaker enclosure shall be 19 mm
(3h in.) wood
construction covered with black, scuff-resistant vinyl
and have edge-protecting, anodized, solid aluminum
front and side rails. The enclosure shall have a re-
tractile handle for portability and a cable storage com-
partment at the bottom. A plug-in 50-foot speaker cable
shall be supplied. The Column shall measure 1522 mm
in height (including feet), 354
mm in width, and 241 mm
in depth (59-15116 in.xl3-15/16 in. X9Vz in.) The
weight, including the supplied cable, shall be 32.62 kg
(72 Ib).
The operating temperature range of the Column
shall be
-6.7"C to 43°C (20°F to 110°F). The storage
temperature range shall be -29°C to 71°C (-20°F to
160°F). The Column shall meet all specifications when
operated within the operating temperature limits.
Any Speaker Column not meeting all of the above
specifications, or having a sealed cabinet which pre-
vents internal inspection and servicing, shall be
deemed unacceptable under this specification. The
Speaker Column shall be a Shure Model
SR102.
SR103 Speaker
Column
The Speaker Column shall be a speaker column
designed for indoor or outdoor use in sound reinforce-
ment applications. The Column shall utilize two 10-inch
and four 8-inch cone-type speakers with a total speak-
er cone area of 1419
cm"220 in2), and two high-fre-
quency horn-type speakers. Pressure sensitivity of the
Column shall be an EIA rating of 53 dB at
9.2m (30
feet) from
1 milliwatt (equivalent to 101 dB at 1.2m-
4 feet-with a 1-watt input).
The sound power distribution shall be nominally
uniform over a 140" angle in the horizontal plane and
a
65" angle in the vertical plane. The Column en-
closure shall be acoustically rear-ported to provide a
feedback-minimizing, horizontal polarization pattern.
The usable frequency response of the Column
shall be uniform and peak-free from 100 Hz to 15,000
Hz when driven by a constant-voltage amplifier.
The continuous power rating of the Column shall
be 100 watts maximum and the nominal impedance
shall be 16 ohms when driven from a 40-volt source.
When driven from a constant-voltage 70.7-volt line,
the continuous power rating shall be 100 watts maxi-
mum and
the nominal impedance shall be 64 ohms.
All eight speakers shall be mounted against the
front baffle of the Column. The top four speakers (one
10-inch, two 8-inch and one high-frequency) shall be

of the terminal strip, the two speaker networks shall
be connected in parallel for a 25-volt line with a
nominal impedance of 16 ohms, or in series for a
70-volt line with a nominal impedance of 64 ohms.
The speaker enclosure shall be 19 mm
(3h in.) wood
construction covered with black, scuff-resistant vinyl
and have anodized, solid aluminum front rails. All sur-
faces (internal and external) and all components shall
be treated for weather resistance. The Column shall
measure 1513 mm in height, 352 mm in width, and
240 mm in depth (59-9116 in.
X
13% in.

9-7/16 in.).
The weight shall be 31.8 kg (70 Ib).
The operating temperature range of the Column
shall be
-6.7"C to 43°C (20°F to 110°F). The storage
temperature range shall be -29°C to 71°C (-20°F to
160°F). The Column shall meet all specifications when
operating within the operating temperature limits.
Any Speaker Column not meeting all of the above
