CS 516

The CS 516 is a highly versatile, premier flush-mount ceiling speaker designed to elevate the standard of commercial distributed audio. It is the perfect acoustic solution for dynamic environments like modern retail floors, corporate lobbies, and hospitality lounges where pristine sound and unobtrusive design are equally critical. AV consultants rely on this unit to deliver a highly immersive audio experience while blending perfectly into complex ceiling architectures.

Engineered for exceptional acoustic output, this unit easily commands large acoustic spaces. Rated for a Max/Rated power of 6W/100V and pushing an impressive sensitivity of 92 dB (1m, 1w), it translates amplifier power into commanding overall loudness. This robust efficiency guarantees that the system possesses the dynamic headroom necessary to cleanly project everything from subtle, ambient background tracks to aggressive, high-SPL emergency paging.

Housed within a compact 180 x H70 mm dimension profile, the internal driver acoustics are engineered for maximum coverage. The driver is precisely angled and mounted to ensure a wide, totally uniform dispersion pattern, projecting phase-accurate sound directly into the listening zone. This careful structural engineering ensures that audiences experience zero acoustic drop-offs, providing an incredibly smooth and cohesive soundscape across the entire venue.

Boasting a wonderfully transparent frequency response from 60 to 15KHz, the sonic character is rich in the low-mids and brilliantly crisp in the upper registers. Crucially designed for massive distributed networks, it features a 100V transformer with easily selectable taps at 6W, 3W, and 1.5W, in addition to an 8 Ohms impedance. This setup provides system integrators with total control over power distribution and zoning across sprawling commercial properties.

Constructed using a hybrid ABS / Metal Frame, the physical chassis offers an unbeatable combination of lightweight handling and heavy-duty structural rigidity. Requiring a precise Ø 15.4 mm hole for mounting and weighing a highly manageable 0.75kg, it ensures a lightning-fast, highly secure installation process. This rock-solid reliability and flawless aesthetic integration make it an indispensable tool for any professional AV installation crew.

The CS 516 is a compact ceiling speaker suited for voice and background music applications. With a sleek profile and metal frame, it’s ideal for installations where space and design are important.
