Thanks to a new patent-pending
gimbal mechanism, known as Controlled Dispersion Technology™ (CDT), both the
high and low frequencies of the CDT-2800-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-2800-C features a 1-inch
silk 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 polymer 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.
Available in a white finish, the
paintable CDT-2800-C can be paired with the 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.
