Product Overview

The CVS 401-BK features a 4-inch mid-bass driver coaxially mounted with a 0.75-inch high-frequency tweeter, ensuring full-range audio performance with clear highs and well-defined mids and lows. Its coaxial design provides uniform sound dispersion across the listening area, delivering consistent audio quality throughout commercial spaces.

Its compact size allows installation in areas with limited ceiling space without compromising sound quality. The speaker covers a wide frequency range, making it suitable for background music, paging, and voice reinforcement in retail stores, restaurants, corporate offices, and other commercial environments.

Designed for efficiency, the CVS 401-BK delivers strong output levels with relatively low power input, making it an excellent choice for distributed audio systems. Installation is simplified with a zinc-plated steel back can, recessed termination box, removable locking connector with screw terminals, and security toggle clamps. Two tile support rails and one C-ring are included, with an optional plaster (mud) ring available.
