Details
Extron CA 163 PT (part number 42-338-12) — the 70/100 volt, black-finish build of Extron's long throw column array loudspeaker, packaged with the SMK PT CA pan and tilt wall mount.
Distributed audio systems need speakers that tap onto a constant voltage line without losing tonal character. Extron makes the high impedance CA 163 transformerless, so no high pass filtering is required and a 70/100 V unit on a side wall matches the voice of an 8 ohm unit on the front wall. Sixteen 3 in. (76 mm) drivers in a 51.9 in. aluminum column hold vertical coverage near 20° at 1 kHz while spreading roughly 180° horizontally. Part 42-338-12 is the single-speaker black version.
Key Capabilities
- 70/100 V high impedance operation with a 50 ohm nominal impedance
- Transformerless design removes the need for high pass filtering
- 94 dB maximum SPL on a 100 V line, 91 dB on a 70 V line, 1 m full space
- 83 dB SPL nominal sensitivity, 1 W at 1 m, 50 ohms direct
- 480 W rms continuous program from sixteen 3 in. (76 mm) drivers
- SMK PT CA mount allows 130° of pan and 15° of tilt
Where It Is Used
Constant voltage lines are the norm in large distributed systems, so this version lands in convention centers, houses of worship, sports facilities, campus auditoriums and transport terminals. It is also the natural choice for side and rear fill positions in a room whose front wall already carries low impedance CA 163 speakers.
