A typical CMS 4.1 consists of four low-profile satellites, four satellite mounts, one network and either an in-ceiling or surface mount subwoofer. Because these components are sold separately, you can easily add to the system and bring just the right amount of sound to any size installation.
Available in black or white, the satellite is a marvel of miniature technology that maximizes output and dynamics. Klipsch's exclusive MicroTractrix™ Horn, the working element of this 7.5-inch tall loudspeaker is formed right into the cabinet baffle, a design that offers the lowest diffraction and maximum release of energy into the listening areas. The ported, bass-reflex enclosure maximizes bass response for a dynamic sound.
Also available in black or white, the mounting kit features a metal wall plate and a metal arm with a tip that offers both tilt and swivel features. Once properly positioned, the tip can easily be locked into place with the provided adjustment tool. Because of its hollowness, the arm also conceals the satellite's color-matched wire for a clean, professional appearance.
As one of the subwoofer options, the compact CA-800-TSW is an all-purpose, indoor/outdoor passive model with an internal multi-tap transformer. This product delivers deep, driving sound through an 8-inch, long excursion driver that has a high-temperature voice coil attached to an IMG (injection-molded graphite) cone that combines light weight, excellent rigidity, and water resistance. For easy wall or ceiling mounting, the CA-800-TSW comes with a heavy gauge zinc C-bracket assembly that attaches to threaded studs in the cabinet with oversized knobs, ensuring positive lock. An optional safety retainer allows for connection to a second mounting point, guarding against dislodging or tampering.
Also compact, the IC-8T-SW in-ceiling subwoofer option features a transformer-less design that delivers high-impact, robust bass. This model adds more dimension to any in-ceiling configuration by using an 8-inch woofer, 8-inch drone, polypropylene cones and high-temperature voice coils in the woofer. While most subwoofers use a port to increase output, the IC-8T-SW employs a bandpass design that utilizes a passive radiator. This eliminates a lot of the distortion and minimizes turbulence that is often present in ported designs. The IC-8T-SW is shipped complete with a tilebridge for installation in a suspended ceiling or wherever additional reinforcement of the ceiling material is required.
Specifically designed for this system, the UL-approved metal box outboard network features 70V/100V tap-settings and serves as a hub for up to four satellites and the chosen subwoofer.
