Description
The CM690i is a premium 6.5” 2-way,
in-ceiling, high-efficiency, high-SPL
loudspeaker for distributed or 8 Ohm
applications. The CM690i incorporates
a dedicated 6.5” treated fiber driver and
high-power compression transducer with
a BroadBeamHP® waveguide to deliver a
consistent dispersion pattern and superb
intelligibility for the foreground music,
sound reinforcement and PA markets. The
CM690i incorporates a 66 Watt transformer
with a 6-position tap switch and voice
coil/8 Ohm direct position. Mounting
hardware and tile-bridge are included and
feature a fast and secure constant-tension
fixed wing mounting system.
