The Klipsch CDT-5650-C II is a high-performance 2-way in-ceiling speaker featuring a 1" titanium diaphragm compression driver mated to a swiveling 100° round Tractrix Horn and a 6.5" pivoting Cerametallic cone woofer. It employs Klipsch Controlled Dispersion Technology (CDT) to allow precise aiming of both the tweeter and woofer, helping overcome fixed in-ceiling placement and delivering lifelike impact, vocal clarity, and detailed sound in whole-house audio systems. The CDT-5650-C II includes treble and midbass attenuation switches for fine-tuning to room acoustics, and a low-profile SlimTrim magnetic, paintable grille that provides a sleek, edge-to-edge appearance blending seamlessly with the ceiling while sure-grip mounting dogs ensure secure, reliable installation.
