CA-525T
The compact, full-range 70-volt CA-525T loudspeaker is designed for distributed audio applications and is equally suited to outdoor or indoor background music and paging in commercial and recreational environments. It features a 5.25" IMG cone woofer and 1" titanium dome tweeter coupled to a square-mouth 90° x 90° Tractrix Horn, which allows horizontal or vertical mounting without affecting the coverage pattern. The durable, UV-resistant all-weather enclosure includes an internal multi-tap transformer with a switchable direct 8-ohm bypass, and connections are made via four-position barrier strips that allow inputs and pass-throughs for easy daisy-chaining.
