Preliminary Technical Information

The information in this document reflects

preliminary data. Items including polar

plots, frequency, phase and impedance

response graphs will be added when final

data are available.

Key Features

• BroadBeamHP® waveguide technology

delivers a consistent dispersion pattern

for maximum coverage area per speaker

(up to 10 kHz, EASE™ documented).

• 66 Watt transformer and high output

(113 dB) for the sound reinforcement

and PA markets.

• One 165 mm (6.5 in) treated fiber driver and

one compression driver with a 25.4 mm

(1 in) exit mounted to a proprietary cast-

aluminum M6™ baffle and heat sink.

• 93 dB Average sensitivity offers high-

output capabilities and reduced amplifi-

cation costs.

• Separate tool-free magnetic grille &

bezel assembly for ease of install and

in-field painting.

• Iridite-plated, steel grille with protec-

tive powder-coated finish for lasting

durability.

• Rapid-installation blind mount fixed

wing mounting mechanism with con-

stant tension design affixes to ceiling

thickness tolerances ranging from 6.4

mm (0.25 in) to 42.9 mm (1.69 in).

• UL 2043 pending.
• Included accessories: Tile bridge, Euroblock

connector & paint mask/installation aid.

• Optional accessories: Pre-Construction

Bracket & Junction Box.

• High quality black or white paint finish.

Description

The CM690i is a premium 6.5” 2-way,

in-ceiling, high-efficiency, high-SPL

loudspeaker for distributed or 8 Ohm

applications. The CM690i incorporates

a dedicated 6.5” 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

CM690i incorporates a 66 Watt transformer

with a 6-position tap switch and voice

coil/8 Ohm direct position. Mounting

hardware and tile-bridge are included and

feature a fast and secure constant-tension

fixed wing mounting system.
