Put the finishing touches on any great commercial sound system with the new CA-SW-8T all-purpose, indoor/outdoor subwoofer. This compact and rugged passive subwoofer with an internal multi-tap transformer nicely complements the Klipsch CA-Series and other small to medium sized full-range speaker installations by adding high-impact, robust bass.
The CA-SW-8T shakes things up and delivers a deep, driving sound through an 8-inch, long excursion driver that has a high-temperature voice coil attached to an IMG (injection-molded graphite) cone that combines light weight, excellent rigidity, and water resistance. As a result, this ported subwoofer is capable of high output while remaining extremely reliable. Maximum continuous output is a remarkable 111dB SPL. And since AES rated sensitivity is 92dB, adequate levels can be achieved with modest amplifier power using the CA-SW-8T.
This durable subwoofer's paintable, weather-and UV-resistant ABS plastic enclosure and powder-coated aluminum grille facilitate easy placement in harsh, outdoor environments. For distributed sound system applications, the internal multi-tap transformer allows 70-volt, 100-volt, or pass through 6 ohm operation.
Five-way, binding-post inputs simplify connections, and there is a fixed, low-pass crossover at 150Hz. For easy wall or ceiling mounting, the CA-SW-8T comes with a C-bracket assembly that attaches to threaded studs in the cabinet with oversized knobs, ensuring positive lock. And at just 19 pounds, this subwoofer is easy to adjust for optimal coverage.
Built from the inside out for performance and durability, the CA-SW-8T adds warmth and body to commercial sound systems.
