OVERVIEW
The C5 is an ultra-compact, high performance, multipurpose loudspeaker designed for short throw applications. Part of the C Series from RMS-Acoustics, the C5 delivers exceptional output, and wide bandwidth for its size, yielding highly capable sound reinforcement from a compact and versatile package. Its impressive fidelity makes it perfectly compatible with the larger RMS-Acoustics loudspeaker systems. The C5 is ideal for integrating into retail or business environments, studios, or homes, and complementing larger systems in theaters, performance venues, or houses of worship.
The combination of versatile mounting options, weatherization, and virtually any RAL color makes the C5 a no compromise, yet easy integration to a wide variety of applications. Supplemented with an SB series subwoofer from RMS-Acoustics, the C5 makes an ideal distributed background music system for restaurants, bars, museums, conference rooms, hotels, or hospitality venues, or even your home listening environment.
The centerpiece of the C5 system features a premium 5.5” coaxial device with a 1.4” compression driver. High efficiency, and high-power handling in such a small package, combined with an optimized RMS-Acoustics crossover, yield astonishing output for a loudspeaker system this compact.
The C5 cabinet features an impact resistant, textured polyurethane paint finish. The loudspeaker system is available in two weatherization grades, (-X1, -X2), optional in white (-W) or custom colors (-C). White, and some custom color options are available also in the X1 weatherization configuration. The C5 delivers a standard enclosure protection rating of IP54 when mounted at a downward facing angle of 20° and the extreme weatherized option achieves an IP55 rating.
The optimum processed amplification and control solution for the RMS-Acoustics C5 is the RMS-46K amplified controller. Linea Research 44M06 series and 44C06 series amplifiers, with propriety presets provided by RMS-Acoustics are also recommended.
