In real-world use, the SL3 pair delivers crisp vocals and clear background music, suitable for ambient listening or announcements. While not built for bass-heavy audio, its 10 W RMS rating and 82 dB sensitivity ensure suitable coverage in small to medium spaces. The wide dispersion maintains even sound distribution, and the spring‑clip mounting makes it quick to deploy.
Q: Can these work with 100 V PA systems?
A: No, they are low-impedance only (8 Ω); not compatible with 100 V line installations.
Q: Do they include tweeters?
A: No; the SL3 is a full-range driver without a dedicated tweeter, yet still provides a smooth 200 Hz-20 kHz response.
Q: Can other Adastra speakers use the same spring clips?
A: Yes; the SL4, SL5, and SL6 all use similar spring-clip or dog-ear mounts for standard installation.
Q: How to clean and maintain them?
A: Wipe the grille gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid moisture intrusion and ensure ventilation above the ceiling void.
Q: What amplifier power is recommended?
A: A compatible amplifier between 10-20 W per speaker (at 8 Ω) is ideal; avoid overpowering to prevent damage.
