8" Two-Way Pivoting In-Ceiling Loudspeaker

CDT-2800-C

With integrated whole-house audio systems
becoming more popular than ever, Klipsch
designed the CDT-2800-C to meet the
market’s demand for a high-performance in­ceiling loudspeaker that easily challenges the
inherent limitations of fixed locations.

Thanks to a new patent-pending gimbal
mechanism, known as Controlled
Dispersion Technology™ (CDT), both the
high and low frequencies of the CDT-2800­C 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.

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.

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.
