DESONO™ C-IC6
CONFERENCING LOUDSPEAKER
The desono™ C-IC6 is a low-profile, two-way passive coaxial loudspeaker optimized for speech reproduction in
conferencing applications. Designed with the installer in mind, the C-IC6 loudspeaker supports audio connections
via either standard category cable or traditional speaker cable. They can be blind-mounted from below the ceiling,
and feature a magnetic grill for easy toolless installation and removal. The grill plates are available in white, black, or
red, or can be painted to match the room decor. The C-IC6 also directly integrates with the Tesira® AMP-450BP—a
four-channel “backpack” PoE+ amplifier—which reduces wiring requirements and installation time. The desono C-IC6
loudspeakers are an ideal choice for any conferencing space that demands superior speech reproduction.

ARCHITECTS & ENGINEERS SPECIFICATIONS
The loudspeaker shall be a two-way, passive coaxial design intended for in-ceiling mounting. The loudspeaker shall be equipped
with a 6.5 inch (165mm) treated paper low frequency transducer (“woofer”), a 1 inch (25mm) soft dome high frequency transducer
(“tweeter”), and a passive crossover/protection circuit network. The high frequency transducer shall be physically separate from the
low frequency transducer and shall be bridge-mounted above the low frequency transducer. The loudspeaker shall have a ported
architecture and a nominal impedance of 8 ohms. The loudspeaker shall have a coverage angle of 130° from 1kHz to 6kHz. The
loudspeaker enclosure shall be constructed of formed steel and UL94V-0 fire rated plastic. The loudspeaker shall include a terminal
box that shall interface with conduit having an inside diameter of either 0.5 inches (13mm) or 0.875 inches (22mm). The loudspeaker
shall be equipped with a four-position, 0.2 inch (5.08mm) pluggable Euroblock connector and two RJ-45 connectors for audio signal
connections. The loudspeaker shall be suitable for blind-mounting from below the ceiling and shall support a magnetically-attached
grill. The loudspeaker shall have an attachment point for connection via chain or wire to building structure as a secondary support
point. The loudspeaker shall include mounting points for direct attachment of a Tesira® AMP-450BP amplifier. The loudspeaker shall
comply with the requirements of UL Standard 1480a and UL Standard 2043. The loudspeaker shall be UL listed, CE marked, and shall
be compliant with the RoHS directive. Warranty shall be seven years. The loudspeaker shall be desono™ C-IC6.
