3 -Way CoEntrant Loudspeaker Systems
EXCLUSIVE COENTRANT DESIGN (U.S. Pat. 5,526,456)
Provides true point source performance with
outstanding resolution and tonal clarity

CONSTANT BEAMWIDTH HORN

performs as a point source from 350 Hz to 17 kHz
with flat power response, consistent tonal balance

WIDE ANGLE HORIZONTAL COVERAGE AVAILABLE

wide angle 90° and 120° horizontal coverage models are
ideal for wide, shallow rooms

ASYMETRICAL VERTICAL DISPERSION

on the CE153/12 reduces ceiling reflections and
thereby, improves intelligibility

POWERFUL LOW FREQUENCY SECTION

heavy-duty 15" woofer provides solid bass down
to 40 Hz

BUILT-IN MID/HIGH FREQUENCY CROSSOVER

eliminates the need for tri-amplification, thereby
reducing system cost
