Description

The CM890i is a premium 8.0” 2-way, in-ceiling, high-efficiency, high-SPL loudspeaker for distributed or 8 Ohm applications. The CM890i incorporates a dedicated 8.0” treated fiber driver and high-power compression transducer with a BroadBeamHP® waveguide to deliver a consistent dispersion pattern and superb intelligibility for the foreground music, sound reinforcement and PA markets. The CM890i also incorporates a 66 Watt trans- former with a 6-position tap switch and voice coil/8 Ohm direct position. Mount- ing hardware and tile-bridge are included and feature a fast and secure constant-ten- sion fixed wing mounting system.
