C801
- 8" Graphite Woofer
- 1" Pivoting Aluminum Dome Tweeter
- 150 Watt Power Handling
- Thin-Bezel Grille
Overview
The graphite material used in the C801’s woofer cone is far stiffer than almost any other cone material you can find. That means it produces low distortion and very clear sound. To keep up with the high-powered woofer, we gave the C801 a low-distortion aluminum tweeter. The tweeter pivots so you can direct the sound wherever you want.
Boost bass and/or treble by 3 dB using the tone switches behind the grille. A high sensitivity of 92 dB lets the C801 hit 100 dB with just 8 watts of power. With 28 Hz bass extension and 150-watt power handling, this speaker cranks out more than enough oomph for any party anywhere! Includes Thin-Bezel Grilles held by Neo Magnets.
