Description

Ceiling Subwoofer

Model CSUB

The Bogen CSUB Ceiling Subwoofer delivers superior bass reproduction in both suspended ceiling and drywall
installations. The CSUB can provide deep, rich bass response to any speaker system. Perfect companions to the
CSUB are Bogenʼs HFSF1 and HFCS1/LP ceiling speakers.

The CSUB offers several levels of power output controlled via a front-mounted rotary tap selector switch (under
grille). The low-distortion speaker design, coupled with a computer-matched venting system, delivers exceptional
low-frequency response for music. The CSUB design also features four integral swing-out mounting clamps that
function as a tile bridge in suspended ceiling applications.

The subwoofer shall be a Bogen Model CSUB or
approved equivalent, consisting of one low frequency
transducer in a band-pass alignment enclosure
design.

The front baffle shall be injection-molded ABS
material and the back can (enclosure) shall be heavy­gauge steel. All components shall be mounted inside
the enclosure.

The baffle shall be supplied in off-white with a mild tex­ture finish to promote paint adhesion, if desired. A per­forated steel speaker grille shall be provided, color­matched to the baffle.

The driver shall utilize a compounded pulp diaphragm
(cone). A compounded rubber cone surround shall be
formulated to withstand environmental conditions with
high or low heat, high or low humidity, and ultra-violet
light.

Integral swing-out clamps shall provide a secure
installation in the ceiling surface without need for a
separate tile bridge. The clamps shall be operated
from either the front or the back of the speaker.

A safety cable attachment point shall be provided in
the top of the enclosure for adding a 1/4-20 threaded
forged eye bolt. An optional 10-foot long cable kit shall
be available to serve as a backup safety cable (Model
CK10). Use of the CK10 cable kit shall increase the
depth of the speaker, and the minimum vertical clear­ance required, by 1-1/4".

The input connector shall be a 4-screw pluggable
input connector, providing loop-through terminals for
additional speakers.

Power input selection shall be via a front-mounted
rotary switch, located under the removable grille. High
impedance tap selections shall be 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and
64 watts. A low impedance 8-ohm selection shall also
be provided.

Dimensions of the speaker shall not exceed 15-1/2"
diameter x 12-1/2" D. The speaker shall require a min­imum vertical clearance of 11" (from front of mounting
surface). Weight shall be 20 lb.
