COMPACT, HIGH PERFORMANCE
INDOOR/OUTDOOR LOUDSPEAKER
The Klipsch Compact Performance CP-6 mountable cabinet speaker,
with its weather-resistant design, is as much at home on the patio as
it is placed on a shelf or mounted on the wall indoors. The proprietary
90° x 90° Tractrix® Horn provides for unmatched low-distortion clarity
and detail while the long-throw woofer combines with front-firing
ports for amazingly powerful low frequency response wherever they
are located. Traditional Klipsch efficiency provides maximum output
with minimum wattage.
QUICK, EASY INSTALLATION
The CP-6 makes a highly aesthetic statement with its smaller size
and ability to mount closer to a wall or even be tucked into a
corner with its V-shaped rear profile. Tool-free angle adjustment
makes positioning a breeze. The unique, solid mounting bracket
assures a fast, easy, one-screwdriver installation. Front speaker wire
terminals combined with a pull-through wire channel provide a quick
connection with an uncluttered look. The CP-6 will also look great
placed on a shelf or stand without using the supplied bracket.
MULTIPURPOSE DESIGN
The Klipsch CP-6 can function as stereo mains or surrounds or be
mounted outdoors for warmer weather enjoyment with its solid,
mineral-filled cabinet and stainless steel hardware. Sold in pairs and
offered in Black or White with the ability to custom paint, the CP-6
complements any indoor or outdoor décor.

If your amp/receiver has separate connections for two
speaker pairs, connect the two pairs of CP-6’s to the two
speaker terminal sets. Depending on your amp/receiver,
either both pairs, or just one pair, will play at the same time.
