Extron announced the immediate availability of the CA 163, an easy-to-install column array speaker, designed to combine excellent speech intelligibility, a contemporary aesthetic, and integration-friendly mounting options. Per the company, two mounting systems are also available to accommodate different room layouts and sizes. Ideal for acoustically challenging environments, it features a focused vertical dispersion that efficiently directs sound to listeners instead of reflective ceilings or floors. Available in paintable black or white, the CA 163 is an integration-friendly solution for ambient environments, says Extron.
“One of the most frequent requests we’ve received has been for an Extron column array speaker,” remarks Casey Hall, chief marketing officer for Extron. “Our engineers set out to design a new solution that not only looks as great as it sounds, it’s also extremely easy to install. We are very excited to expand Extron speaker offerings into the larger applications served by the CA 163.”
The wall mounting system enables one person to mount the CA 163 to the wall securely, says Extron. Additionally, it features a wall-mounting template that makes it quick and easy to accurately position the speaker mounts. After installing the mount, a slot on the rear of the speaker allows it to slide up and down to the desired height.
The CA 163 PT includes a pan-and-tilt mount for maximum speaker aiming flexibility; while the CA 163 LP includes a low‑profile mount for minimal protrusion from the wall.
