8" Two-Way Pivoting In-Ceiling Loudspeaker
With integrated whole-house audio systems
becoming more popular than ever, Klipsch
designed the CDT-5800-C to meet the
market's demand for a high-performance in-
ceiling loudspeaker that easily challenges the
inherent limitations of fixed locations.
Thanks to a new patent-pending gimbal
mechanism,
known
as
Dispersion Technology™ (CDT), both the
high and low frequencies of the CDT-5800-
C can be directed towards the listening area.
Because the tweeter is independently
adjustable from the woofer, this speaker
offers even more precise localization.
The CDT-5800-C features a 1-inch titanium
tweeter mated to a swiveling 100-degree
Tractrix® Horn. This swiveling horn design
dramatically increases efficiency by enabling
the speaker to produce more output using
less energy. Additionally, a horn-loaded
tweeter works well in instances where you
want to point the sound to a specific location
because it has more controlled directivity
than a conventional dome tweeter.
The speaker's 8-inch Cerametallic™ woofer
also has great positioning capabilities. It can
rotate a full 360 degrees and then shift 15
degrees in any direction. This flexibility
combined with the swiveling tweeter puts
you in complete control of where the sound
will go. Other professional grade features,
such as a premium network and treble and
bass contour switches, help the CDT-5800-
C establish a new benchmark in
architectural audio excellence.
CDT-5800-C
Available in a white finish, the paintable CDT-5800-C can be paired with
a Klipsch IK-800-C installation kit (sold separately). This revolutionary
kit design incorporates a mud ring, breakaway wire tie and color-
coded brackets for easy speaker size identification. It also includes
perforated metal wings that easily fasten to the studs via screws, staples
or nails. Painted white for easy marking and placement, these metal
wings can be folded around the edge of the studs if necessary.
