Product Overview
The C2G CG40533 45-Watt Stereo Audio Amplifier — Plenum-Rated is a compact commercial audio amplifier designed for direct installation in plenum air-handling spaces, eliminating the need for a separate fire-rated enclosure. Laboratory tested and verified for plenum installation, it delivers 45 Watts RMS at 4 Ohms stereo output for sound reinforcement in classrooms, conference rooms, training centers, offices, and restaurants. Dual inputs accept a variety of audio sources, making it a flexible amplification solution for commercial AV audio systems.
Product Description

The CG40533 plenum amplifier is built to simplify commercial audio installation in regulated environments. Where non-plenum amplifiers require an additional fire-rated metal enclosure to comply with building codes in air-handling spaces, the CG40533 can be mounted directly above the ceiling without one — saving installation time and reducing hardware cost. Its minimal size and weight support easy mounting in virtually any above-ceiling location.
Dual inputs accommodate connections from multiple audio sources including microphone/line inputs. The 45W RMS stereo output at 4 Ohms drives ceiling speaker pairs in small to medium commercial spaces. This amplifier-only model (no mixer) is the lower-cost option when audio mixing at the amplifier is not required; for built-in mixing capability, see the CG40573 stereo mixer/amplifier.
Key Features
- Plenum-Rated for Direct Above-Ceiling Installation — Lab-tested for installation in plenum air-handling spaces without a separate fire-rated enclosure.
- 45W RMS Stereo at 4 Ohms — Adequate output for ceiling speaker coverage in small to medium commercial rooms.
- Dual Inputs — Accepts multiple audio sources for flexible commercial AV system integration.
- Compact and Lightweight — Easy to mount above ceilings and in space-constrained plenum areas.
- Amplifier Only (No Mixer) — Straightforward amplification without mixing circuitry; lower cost than the CG40573 mixer/amplifier.
Typical Applications
- Conference room ceiling speaker audio amplification in plenum spaces
- Classroom and training room sound reinforcement above the ceiling
- Restaurant and commercial space background audio in plenum installation
- Office paging and announcement system amplification
- Commercial AV audio channel amplification where mixing is handled upstream

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between CG40533 and CG40573?
The CG40533 is an amplifier only at 45W with dual inputs. The CG40573 is a stereo mixer/amplifier at 45W with built-in audio mixing capability. Choose CG40573 when you need to mix multiple sources before amplification; use CG40533 when mixing is handled upstream by a separate mixer or DSP.
- Does this need a plenum enclosure box?
No. The CG40533 is laboratory tested and verified for direct installation in plenum air-handling spaces without an additional fire-rated enclosure.
- What is the output impedance?
45W RMS at 4 Ohms stereo. Verify speaker impedance compatibility before installation.
- What warranty does C2G provide?
Standard commercial warranty. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.
