16C Column Loudspeaker

The 16C Column Loudspeaker is a compact 2-way passive system and the smallest model in the xC-Series, purpose-built for fixed installation applications. It incorporates four 4-inch neodymium drivers and a 0.75-inch compression driver fitted to a constant directivity (CD) horn. This high-frequency horn delivers a nominal dispersion of 90° horizontally and 40° vertically, ensuring uniform sound coverage across the target area.

The low-mid drivers are configured in a cardioid arrangement, with sound directed forward through waveguide elements and reduced at the rear via acoustically damped ports. This setup creates a stable 90° horizontal dispersion and achieves up to 18 dB attenuation behind the speaker. As a result, the 16C Column Loudspeaker minimises rear reflections and offers consistent sound pressure levels across the space, which also helps to increase gain before feedback when used with open microphones.
