Product Overview
The Biamp Desono COLS81 is a column loudspeaker whose acoustic response is tailored specifically for speech, built for high intelligibility in reverberant commercial spaces. It uses a vertical array of eight drivers to produce controlled vertical directivity that projects voice to the audience while reducing floor and ceiling reflections. Its extruded-aluminum, weatherproof cabinet suits both indoor and outdoor installation in houses of worship, transport hubs, and multi-purpose rooms. A switchable transformer supports 70 V and 100 V distributed systems with a low-impedance bypass.
Product Description
The COLS81 is a mid-size speech column for paging and announcement systems that need clear voice reproduction in hard, reverberant rooms. Its eight-driver column keeps speech energy on listeners and off reflective surfaces, which is what makes column loudspeakers effective in churches, railway stations, and sports facilities. The COLS voicing is tuned for speech, distinguishing it from the speech-and-music COLW series. The cabinet is sturdy extruded aluminum and weatherproof for indoor or outdoor use, and a multi-tap switchable transformer allows 70 V or 100 V distributed operation with a low-impedance bypass. For different coverage areas, the range also includes the COLS101 and COLS41. Browse compatible amplifiers and loudspeakers in the Biamp collection at Creation Networks.
