CDT-5650-C
With integrated whole-house audio systems
becoming more popular than ever, Klipsch
designed the CDT-5650-C to meet the
market’s demand for a high-performance in-
ceiling 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-5650-
C 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-5650-C features a 1-inch titanium
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.
The speaker’s 6.5-inch Cerametallic™
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. Other professional
grade features, such as a premium network
and treble and bass contour switches, help
the CDT-5650-C establish a new
benchmark in architectural audio
excellence.
