Klipsch Audio Technologies is introducing a new all-purpose passive subwoofer with an internal multi-tap transformer at InfoComm 2004.
From Klipsch’s press release:
The compact and rugged CA-SW-8T 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 subwoofer delivers deep, driving bass using 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 output 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 an internal 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.
