Product Description

The desono™ C-IC6 is a low-profile, two-way passive coaxial loudspeaker
optimized for speech and music reproduction in conferencing applications.
The C-IC6 may be used with traditional amplifiers, and also directly integrates
with the Tesira AMP-450BP: a four-channel "backpack" PoE+ amplifier that
®
attaches directly to the C-IC6.
Setup and Use
The Tesira software provides an intuitive interface for setup and programming
of the AMP-450BP. The information supplied by this manual relates to physical
connections and device setup. For more details on software setup, please

The C-IC6 conferencing loudspeaker is equipped with a bridge-mounted
165mm, treated paper low-frequency woofer, a separate 25mm soft-dome
high-frequency tweeter and a passive crossover/protection circuit network. The
coverage angle is 130° and includes a four-position, 5.08 pluggable Euroblock

The C-IC6 speaker supports audio connections via either standard category
cable or traditional speaker cable. The loudspeaker includes a tile bridge kit
for secure installation in a ceiling. It also features a magnetic grill for tool-less
installation and removal. The grille plate is available in white, black or red, and
can be painted to match the room decor.
The optionally-available AMP-450BP includes an audio locate feature on the
front face that allows installers to validate cabling and connections before the
audio system is fully commissioned.
Installation
Install away from heat sources, such as vents, radiators, heat registers
and stoves. Also avoid installing near water or steam. The conferencing
loudspeaker has a secondary support point via chain or wire for connecting
to the building structure. Do not exceed the maximum ambient operating
temperature of 32° - 95° F (0° - 35° C).
Per UL 1480A Section 6.1.6 - Use watertight cable, conduit, or EMT fittings for
