Klipsch CA-5-TQXD Brochure

Architectural Specifications

The CA-5T all-purpose two-way compact loudspeaker
system shall include a 5.25" (13.34cm) K-1109-A woofer and
a 1" (2.54cm) K-117-A polymer diaphragm compression
driver mounted on a Tractrix Horn. Signal shall be provided
to the transducers via a passive internal frequency dividing
network, with a 2.7kHz crossover frequency. The enclosure
tuning shall be dual port bass reflex.

Frequency response shall be 70Hz to 20kHz, ±4dB, with
the -10dB down point at 60Hz, measured at one meter,
half space anechoic. The dispersion angle shall be 90º by
60º nominal (refer to graph). Sensitivity shall be 94dB SPL,
measured at one meter, half space anechoic, with a 2.83V
input. Power handling shall be 75 watts (17volts), to AES
standards, continuous pink noise, 50Hz to 10kHz, 6dB peaks.
Calculated maximum continuous output at one meter shall
be 109dB SPL. Nominal impedance shall be 8 ohms, with a

3.8 ohm minimum at 260Hz. Full-range connections shall be
made via 5-way binding posts.

A removable powder-coated aluminum grille shall be
provided for protection of the transducers from tampering
or damage. The enclosure shall be UV- and weather-resist­ant ABS plastic, available in black or white, with dimensions
of 8.625" (21.9cm) high by 12" (30.48cm) wide, by 8.875"
(22.54cm) deep. Net weight shall be 10 lbs. (4.54kg).

Mounting shall be via protruding stainless steel threaded
studs on the side enclosure panels, mating to large exter­nal knobs for positive attachment to the C-shaped mount­ing bracket (included).

The system shall be a Klipsch CA-5T loudspeaker.

The little speaker with the big sound! Ideal
for applications where tight space, under­eave, wall or ceiling mounting is required.
The CA-5T full range loudspeaker includes
everything you need for fast and easy
installation. The durable UV-resistant all­weather enclosure includes an internal
multi-tap transformer to simplify hookup
to any system. The C-bracket assembly
attaches to the enclosure’s integral
center-of-gravity balanced, threaded
studs and oversized knobs, ensuring a
positive position-lock. A security retainer
allows for wiring to a second mounting
point, guarding against dislodging
or tampering.

Designed for distributed audio applica­tions, the compact high-fidelity system is
equally at home in outdoor or indoor
background music and paging applica­tions, in both commercial and recre­ational environments. For application
flexibility, the internal multi-tap transformer
includes an easily adjusted bypass switch,
allowing direct full-range connection for 8
ohm operation. Enclosure signal connec­tions are accomplished through a 5-way
binding post.

For efficiency and reliability, the CA-5T
consists of a high power 5.25" weather­resistant woofer and a 1" polymer­diaphragm compression driver on a
molded Tractrix Horn. A unique feature of
the 90º x 60º horn assembly is its ability to
be repositioned 90º, providing selectable
pattern control.

Power handling and performance effi­ciency are superb at 75 watts continuous
and 94dB sensitivity, with a maximum
output of 109dB.

The paintable ABS enclosure is available in
a black or white finish, and features all
stainless steel hardware and a removable
aluminum powder coated grille for years
of maintenance-free duty, no matter the
climate or environment.
