Klipsch CA-5T User manual

ALL-PURPOSE 5.25"
TWO-WAY COMPACT
LOUDSPEAKER
SYSTEM
The little speaker with the big sound!
Ideal for applications where "tight
space" under-eave, wall or ceiling
mounting is required. The CA-5T full
range loudspeaker includes every-
thing you need for fast and easy
installation. The durable UV-resistant
all-weather 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 over-
sized knobs, ensuring a positive posi-
tion-lock. Asecurity retainer allows
for wiring to a second mounting
point, guarding against
dislodging or tampering.
Designed for distributed audio appli-
cations, the compact high-fidelity sys-
tem is equally at home in outdoor or
indoor background music and paging
applications, in both commercial and
recreational environments. For appli-
cation flexibility, the internal multi-tap
transformer includes an easily adjust-
ed 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 consist of a high power 5.25"
weather-resistant woofer and a 1"
polymer diaphragm compression
driver on a molded Tractrix Horn. A
unique feature of the 90º x 60º horn
assembly is its ability to be reposi-
tioned 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 avail-
able in black or white finishes, and fea-
tures all stainless steel hardware and
a removable aluminum powder-
coated grille for years of maintenance-
free duty, no matter the climate
or environment.

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 com-
pression driver mounted on a Tractrix Horn. Signal
shall be provided to the transducers via a passive inter-
nal 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 con-
tinuous 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 tamper-
ing 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 thread-
ed studs on the side enclosure panels, mating to large
external knobs for positive attachment to the C-shaped
mounting bracket (included).
