Biamp 910-01592 COLW41

Product Overview

The Biamp Desono COLW41 is a compact two-way, full-range column loudspeaker for clear speech and music in smaller commercial spaces. It uses a vertical array of four 3.3-inch drivers to produce controlled vertical directivity that projects sound to listeners while reducing floor and ceiling reflections. Its extruded-aluminum, weatherproof cabinet suits both indoor and outdoor installation, making it a practical fit for chapels, meeting rooms, and covered exterior areas. A switchable transformer supports 70 V and 100 V distributed systems with a low-impedance bypass.

Product Description

The COLW41 is the smallest model in the COLW column range, suited to rooms and zones that need column directivity in a discreet footprint. The COLW series is voiced for both speech and music, so it reproduces spoken word, background music, and program audio from a single slim enclosure while keeping sound energy on the audience rather than the room. The cabinet is sturdy extruded aluminum and weatherproof for indoor or outdoor use. A multi-tap switchable transformer allows 70 V or 100 V distributed operation, with a low-impedance bypass for direct amplifier use. For larger coverage areas, the range also includes the COLW81 and COLW101. Browse compatible amplifiers and loudspeakers in the Biamp collection at Creation Networks.
