ECLER DROP6i

Product overview

The ECLER DROP6i is a two-way, full-range 6.5 inch pendant loudspeaker delivering 75 W at 8 Ω, with a sleek and discreet design and a 70/100 V line transformer with selectable 60, 30, 15 and 7.5 W taps.

Hung from the ceiling on two height-adjustable 5 m steel cords, the DROP6i brings even, full-range sound to shops, restaurants, hotels, offices and leisure venues. A 6.5 inch woofer and a 1 inch silk dome tweeter cover 70 Hz to 20 kHz (-10 dB) with 135° conical coverage, and the IP53-rated enclosure in ABS reinforced with fibreglass carries a borderless, rust-proof aluminium grille. It works on 70 V or 100 V distributed lines or directly on an 8 Ω amplifier output, and comes in white (RAL9003) or black (RAL9005).

Built for distributed sound

The rotary tap selector under the top cover sets the DROP6i to 60, 30, 15 or 7.5 W on a 100 V or 70 V line, or to the 8 Ω position for low-impedance amplifiers. Many speakers can share one line, and the double INPUT/LINK Euroblock connector loops the line on to the next loudspeaker. The speaker leaves the factory set to 60 W; on 70 V lines the powers of the 100 V positions are reduced to half. ECLER recommends an amplifier of 150 W RMS.

Design that fits the interior

The conical enclosure and borderless aluminium grille give the DROP6i a clean look that suits shops, cafés and offices. The white version can be painted to match the room, water drain openings and the IP53 rating protect it in humid spaces, and the speaker works from -20 °C to 70 °C.

Simple suspension

Two steel cords with clutch adjusters hang the speaker at the height you choose. Remove the top of the enclosure, fix the cords to the bracket, wire the Euroblock connectors, set the power selector and lock the conical back cover until the marks match. For large audiences, hanging the speakers higher gives better long-distance coverage.

Can it be used in humid areas?

The DROP6i is IP53 rated and has water drain openings, and it operates from -20 °C to 70 °C with humidity below 85 %.

How is it mounted?

It hangs from the ceiling on the two height-adjustable 5 m steel cords supplied with each speaker.

Which colours are available?

White (RAL9003) and black (RAL9005). The grille and the speaker of the white version can be painted.

Workflow 1: Retail background music

Even music and announcements over a shop floor with an open ceiling.

Connections

Setup

1. Hang the speakers on the steel cords at an even height over the sales area.
2. Set each power selector to the tap that suits its zone (for example 15 W).
3. Wire the line from INPUT to LINK, speaker to speaker, respecting polarity.
4. Add up the taps on the line and make sure the amplifier can supply them.

Tip: Lower taps near the counter and higher taps over large open areas keep the level even.

Workflow 2: Restaurant and café

Discreet pendant sound that matches the lighting design.

Connections

Setup

1. Choose white or black to match the interior; the white version can be painted.
2. Hang the speakers at the height of the pendant lights.
3. Set the taps (7.5 or 15 W) for comfortable background levels.
4. Loop the line through all speakers and test each area.

Tip: Keep the speakers clear of obstacles: high frequencies are much more directional than low ones.

Workflow 3: Hotel lobby

Full-range music in high lobbies and atriums.

Connections

Setup

1. Hang the speakers higher for better long-distance coverage in large spaces.
2. Use the 30 or 60 W tap where the ceiling is high.
3. Wire the line and set the amplifier level.
4. Walk the space and adjust taps where the level differs.

Tip: On 70 V lines the powers of the 100 V tap positions are halved: plan the amplifier accordingly.

Workflow 4: Open-plan office

Paging and background music in offices with open ceilings.

Connections

Setup

1. Space the speakers evenly over the work areas.
2. Set low taps (7.5 or 15 W) for speech and soft music.
3. Wire the line from speaker to speaker.
4. Check speech intelligibility at the desks.

Tip: The 135° conical coverage spreads sound widely below each speaker.

Workflow 5: Low-impedance stereo pair

A bar or showroom driven from a standard 8 Ω amplifier.

Connections

Setup

1. Turn the power selector of both speakers to the 8 Ω position before connecting.
2. Wire each speaker to its own amplifier channel, respecting polarity.
3. Use an amplifier of about 150 W RMS per channel, as ECLER recommends.
4. Raise the level gradually and listen.

Tip: Never connect a 100 V or 70 V line to a speaker set to the 8 Ω position.

Workflow 6: Gym and leisure venue

Music for training areas and public spaces with humidity.

Connections

Setup

1. Hang the speakers over the training floor on the steel cords.
2. Choose 30 or 60 W taps for higher music levels.
3. Wire and loop the line, then lock each conical cover.
4. Set the amplifier for the highest level needed.

Tip: The IP53 rating and water drain openings suit humid spaces.
