CS-C3 3” In-Ceiling Loudspeaker

General Description

Optional square or hexagonal grilles (black and white available)

The Cloud CS-C3 is a 3 inch full range in-ceiling loudspeaker featuring
exceptional intelligibility and musical performance. Using a premium
driver and electronics, the CS-C3 offers clear intelligibility, smooth
frequency response, and excellent off axis performance. The 3.0 inch
driver incorporates a large magnet structure, a polypropylene cone,
and a butyl rubber surround for lasting, low distortion performance,
and exceptional weather resistance. The included 16 W transformer
provides plenty of power for background music and voice messaging
applications. The 16 ohm impedance allows for easy low impedance
daisy chaining.

The CS-C3 incorporates several innovative features that make it a
truly remarkable speaker. The ZeroEdge™ grilles are magnetically
attached for easy installation, and feature a completely seamless
transition from grille to ceiling. Round grilles are supplied as
standard: square or hexagonal grilles may be ordered as an option if

preferred. All grille styles are available in black or white nish. The
97 mm back can offers premium acoustics in a shallow mount prole,

and the sealed enclosure keeps water and moisture from entering

Architect’s and Engineer’s Specication

The loudspeaker shall consist of one powder coated steel enclosure containing one transducers, a frequency shaping network, a transformer, and

acoustic damping material. It shall incorporate an integrated clamping system including 3 dog ears. It shall include one removable circular prole
steel grille afxed to the bafe via integrated magnets. The grille shall include a removable logo tab. Both square prole and hexagonal prole grilles

shall be available as optional accessories.

The loudspeaker shall include one 76.2 mm (3.0 in) low-frequency transducer with a frequency shaping crossover network installed in a sealed
enclosure. The low frequency voice coil diameter shall be 19.1 mm (0.75 in). The low frequency transducer shall have a polypropylene cone material
with a rubber surround.

The loudspeaker shall include a 16 W transformer with taps at 16 W, 8 W, 4 W, 2 W, and 1 W. Said taps shall be selected via an included tap switch

located on the front bafe, under the magnetically removable grille. The transformer shall accept 25 V, 70.7 V, or 100 V. The tap switch shall also

include a transformer bypass position, allowing for direction connection to the 16 ohm low impedance circuit.

Nominal performance specications shall be as follows: The loudspeaker shall have a usable frequency range extending from 90 Hz - 20 kHz
(-10 dB). The nominal impedance shall be 16 ohms, and the maximum continuous RMS power handling shall be at least 16 W according to the
EIA-426-B standard. Sensitivity measured at 2.83 V / 1 m shall be 79 dB. The maximum output at 1 m shall be 94 dB.

Installation for the speaker shall be by 3 blind-mount constant-tension dog ear clips and shall attach to ceiling thicknesses ranging from 0.125 inches
to 2 inches. The external wiring shall be via 4-position 5.08 mm Euroblock connector, accepting up to 10 gauge wire. The maximum overall
height shall be no more than 103 mm (4.06 in) and the maximum diameter shall be no more than 153.5 mm (6.04 in). The maximum visible
dimensions shall be no more than 3.9 mm (0.15 in) in height by 153.5 mm (6.04 in) in diameter. The back can shall have a maximum diameter of

130 mm (5.12 in), and shall t within a cutout diameter of 140 mm (5.5 in). The unit is factory preset to the16-watt setting in the 100-volt operating
mode, with a tap switch located on the front bafe.

The system shall be the Cloud CS-C3 for both low- and high- impedance applications. The optional square grilles shall be the Cloud CS-

3SQGRILLW (white nish) and CS-3SQGRILLB (black nish); the optional hexagonal grilles shall be the Cloud CS-3HEXGRILLW (white nish)
