Mach says the new range has improved sound quality, as well as other improvements such as reduced speaker size, improved functionality, ease of installation, reduced service time, increased flexibility, and improved speaker strength. Advances have also been made in range and distortion levels, say Mach, and overall speaker design has been updated, while the cabinets are available in a wide range of colours.
The CN-7 and CN-8 have been specifically developed for natural sound reproduction in near field applications. The CN-7 is a unique, full-range, near-field speaker combining hi-fi properties with intermediate SPL levels in a compact design. The 2-way speaker houses an 8" woofer with an extended frequency response and a 1" soft dome tweeter. Designed as a compact cabinet with a wide dispersion pattern, it is aimed at applications in which clarity and speech intelligibility are needed.
The CN-8 is has similar properties, but features two 8" woofers with an extended frequency response and a 1" compression driver with a constant coverage horn. It is designed as a compact cabinet with a highly controlled dispersion pattern and, like the CN-7, excels in applications in which clarity and speech intelligibility are needed.
Ideal for small or medium size venues, or suitable for in-fill in seating areas, the CN-7 and CN-8 can operate either as stand-alone or together with a subwoofer. Acoustically, the products are suitable for clubs, bars, cafes, lounges, restaurants, churches, hotels, fitness studios, conference rooms, shopping malls, etc, while the CN-7 and CN-8's versatile mounting system allows for full flexibility and easy installation using u-bracket, multi-bracket, eyebolts or cluster bracket. The new design features 18 flying points - four of which are fully adjustable - allowing for complete versatility when setting dispersion angles. The innovative "spider mount system" allows for innovative solutions for wall and ceiling mounting.
Connections are made in seconds with recessed speak on and barrier strip terminals. A scratchproof Safe Coat surface and extruded aluminium profiles give an exceptionally strong and robust cabinet with fast and easy access to all serviceable parts.
