Lubell Labs LL916H &
LL916C Pistonic Piezoelectric Underwater Speakers
The portable
Lubell Labs LL916C and LL916H are efficient full-range
pistonic piezoelectric underwater loudspeakers developed and
manufactured by Lubell Labs of Columbus, Ohio USA, the inventor of the underwater speaker. Their
unique design (Patent # 3391385) provides the highest
output levels and widest frequency response of
any commercial underwater speaker on the market, making
product suitable for synchronized swimming, lap swimming,
diver recall, and dozens of other applications in the pool,
river, and ocean. And unlike some competitors who cut
corners and run over a thousand volts thru their
underwater speaker cables, Lubell Labs follows safe
engineering practices by operating at voltages of 20 volts
or less on the underwater speaker cable.
No other brand compares!
The
LL916C is our cage mounted underwater speaker, which
allows placement on bottom of swimming pools or lakes, or
for mounting to piers, etc. in the lake or ocean. The cage
also provides added protection to the sensitive internal
electronics against breakage due to accidental drops. The LL916C is available with
choice of 25' (7.62m), 50' (15.24m), 100' (30.48m), 150'
(45.72m), or 200' (60.96m) cable lengths; Simply add
cable length to part number (ie. LL916C-050'). The LL916C includes a
transferable 5 year limited warranty.
The
warranty does
not cover
failure of cable
due to abuse, so
please coil
cable properly (video)
after
each use to
avoid kinks,
handle with
care, and follow
instructions.
The LL916H is our harness mounted underwater speaker,
which offers lower profile and lower cost, but offers no
protection against damage from accidental drops or blows. The LL916H is available with
choice of 25' (7.62m), 50' (15.24m), 100' (30.48m),
150' (45.72m), or 200' (60.96m) cable length; Simply
add cable length to part number (ie. LL916H-025'). The LL916H includes a
transferable 2 year limited warranty.
The warranty does not cover failure of cable
due to abuse, so

Because the Lubell LL916C and
LL916H underwater speakers have special safety
requirements and present a capacitive load, they are
always sold/used with Lubell
Labs AC series transformer boxes. These custom
transformer boxes incorporate a tuned RLC circuit with
isolated winding transformer and 50 watt series resistor
in order to provide broadband performance, impedance
matching, current limiting, and electrical isolation for
safety. Some of the more popular boxes are the AC202C for
use with the Chiayo Stageman (CAWSS)
system for synchronized swimming, and the AC205C or AC203E
(same with air speaker jack and control) for use with the
Phonic Powerpod 410 or 415 series powered mixers. Also
available is the AC102C and AC211C (same with air speaker
jack and control) for connection to amplifiers between 150
watts to 200 watts @ 8 ohms. Always match the wattage
rating of the Lubell transformer box with the speaker
output wattage rating of the amplifier that it will be
used with.
NOTE: Lubell underwater speakers are incompatible with
MiPro sound systems!
