Contour CT212

Horn-Loaded Point Source Speaker Enclosure

Figure  1. Contour CT212

The Contour CT212 is a horn-loaded 3-way passive loudspeaker capable 
of  delivering  a  maximum  SPL  of  145  dB.  This  is  a  powerful  speaker 
that  sounds  full  and  present  while  still  sounding  intimate  at  lower 
volumes.  This  horn-loaded  point-source  enclosure  combines  two  12" 
low-frequency  drivers  with  a  coaxial  mid-high  compression  driver,  the 
latter using a 4" plus a 2.5" voice coil. The CT212 delivers a controlled 
100° x 50° dispersion pattern, maintaining constant directivity down to 
200 Hz, as well as a bass response down to 55 Hz. It is a long-throw 
point-source that maintains its directivity in the far field.

This  loudspeaker  is  useful  for  medium  to  large  scale  installations  and 
live production audio. Various rigging options are available, including the 
Contour Rigging System, which is applicable to both the CT212 and the 
CT28. The CT212 is IP55 rated and salt water resistant, and stainless 
steel 316 accessories are also available.
