Details
Extron CA 163 PT (part number 42-338-02) — the black, 8 ohm version of Extron's long throw column array loudspeaker, supplied with the SMK PT CA pan and tilt wall mount.
Hard-surfaced rooms punish ordinary loudspeakers: energy that should land on listeners instead reflects off ceilings and floors and returns as reverberation. The CA 163 PT stacks sixteen 3 in. (76 mm) paper cone drivers into a single 51.9 in. aluminum column, so vertical coverage tightens to roughly 20° at 1 kHz while horizontal coverage stays near 180°. The beam is aimed along the seating plane instead of at reflective boundaries. This part number is the single-speaker, low impedance configuration in a black powder coat finish.
Key Capabilities
- Sixteen 3 in. (76 mm) paper cone drivers in one extruded aluminum column
- 240 W rms continuous pink noise and 480 W rms continuous program handling
- 118 dB maximum SPL at 1 m, full space, in this low impedance version
- 6.5 ohm nominal impedance with 93 dB SPL sensitivity at 1 W and 1 m
- 105 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range, -10 dB, full space, per IEC 60268-5
- SMK PT CA mount allows 130° of pan and 15° of tilt
Where It Is Used
Extron built this loudspeaker for acoustically difficult rooms, and integrators put it to work in auditoriums, houses of worship, lecture halls, atria and multipurpose spaces where announcements and spoken program have to stay intelligible. The pan and tilt mount suits venues with level floor seating, where the array must be aimed outward and downward toward the audience.
