The Sonance PS-C85RT High Output In-Ceiling Loudspeaker redefines performance in architectural audio for commercial environments. Designed for spaces that demand clarity, power, and flexible sound coverage, it features an 8" aluminum woofer and a 1.4" compression driver in a coaxial design-delivering exceptional detail across a wide frequency range. Its magnetically interchangeable horn/collar system enables quick configuration between 120° wide or 80° narrow dispersion, allowing precision sound targeting in high-ceiling or acoustically challenging areas. With 70V/100V taps and 8-ohm bypass, it's ideal for scalable sound systems in event venues, retail spaces, and hospitality environments. Certified to UL 1480A and UL 2043 standards, it installs securely in air-handling spaces with included tile bridges and C-rings. This is not a standalone speaker-requires an amplifier and speaker wire (sold separately). Engineered for intelligibility, impact, and seamless aesthetics, the PS-C85RT delivers premium performance wherever architectural sound matters most.
