Detailed Description Column 16
Column 16 uses sixteen 2.2-inch full-range drivers in a single column enclosure. The array provides 150° horizontal coverage with a 5° vertical pattern. This narrow vertical dispersion helps direct sound towards listeners and limit energy reaching ceilings and reflective surfaces.
The loudspeaker handles 240 W AES and supports an 8 Ω connection or selectable 70 V and 100 V transformer taps. Speech and Music presets configure the speaker for the corresponding programme material. The specified high-pass filter is 80 Hz at 24 dB per octave.
Black and white ABS cabinets include fixing points for wall mounting and a safety strap. IP54 protection requires the appropriate terminal cover. The technical table lists the compatible amplifier and Sub choices, along with the dimensions and installation details for the complete loudspeaker.
