Product Overview
The Renkus-Heinz CA81-RD is a self-powered 8-inch two-way point-source loudspeaker with Dante digital audio and network redundancy, part of the in-stock C Series for permanent install applications. It combines an 8-inch heavy-duty woofer and a 1-inch titanium HF driver on a rotatable Complex Conic waveguide with an integrated SA625-RD amplifier module, RHAON II control, and onboard DSP. As a networked install loudspeaker, it suits fills, delays, and distributed systems in conference rooms, boardrooms, and house-of-worship spaces.
Product Description

The C Series delivers premium point-source performance for installation at a competitive price, kept in stock for immediate shipment in black or white. The CA81 features an 8-inch heavy-duty woofer and a 1-inch Extended Range titanium HF driver, with a 120° x 60° Complex Conic horn that rotates 90° for wide or deep rooms. The integrated SA625 amplifier supplies 250 watts to the low-frequency section and 125 watts to the high-frequency section at 16 ohms, with factory-optimized multi-band peak and thermal limiting. Controlled through RHAON II, the onboard DSP provides eight fully parametric filters, high and low shelf and pass filters, and up to 340 ms of delay. The RD model adds Dante digital signal distribution with AES67 compatibility and primary/secondary network redundancy. Twelve-point Universal Mounting Hardware supports flown, bracket, and discreet wall mounting.
