COMPACT C 45
TWO-WAY PROFESSIONAL SPEAKER

DESCRIPTION
COMPACT C 45 is a multipurpose two-way
point source speaker, suitable for a wide
range of near and mid-distance applications.
The combination of a 4" neodymium
compression driver, a 15" neodymium woofer,
and a constant directivity rotatable
waveguide produces coherent 100° x 50°
coverage for the listening area with high SPL,
and distortion-free sound. The sleek and
lightweight wood cabinet uses a special
polyurea coating and a robust powder-coated
grille with protective foam. Optional
mounting accessories allow for wall or ceiling
installation.
