Cornered Audio Ci4 on-Wall Loudspeaker
Description
Ci4-V is a feature-packed compact 2-way full-range speaker with medium output and full-range bass performance. The cabinet design is exceptionally discreet while offering great sound. With a wide and uniform dispersion, full coverage can be achieved by installing relatively few speakers, which makes the Ci4-V especially suited for indoor and outdoor commercial installations.
The patented triangular Cornered design ensures fast and easy installation. The integrated mounting points allow the cabinet to mount flush in corners or onto walls and ceilings without brackets. Or – for an even easier and more flexible installation – the cabinet can be mounted on two slider brackets. Cabinets can be coupled together to increase coverage to 180, 270, or 360 degrees. The cable terminal is hidden behind the grille with the cable mounted from the rear of the cabinet, making the cable connection invisible both in vertical and horizontal applications.
The tweeter features a switchable protection circuit for added safety and the Ci4-V model can be run in either 8 ohm or 70/100 volt. In high-impedance mode, tap settings for 3,5 – 7,5 or 15-watt output are conveniently located on the front baffle.
Ci4-V is the perfect elegant speaker solution for background sound in commercial installations such as cafes, hotels, and shops.

Architectural Specifications
The loudspeaker system shall consist of a 4” woofer, a 4” passive woofer for extended bass performance, and a 1” tweeter coupled to a waveguide with an even dispersion of nominal 100° by 100° degree. The tweeter shall be protected against damage from overpowering via a switchable limiting circuit that limits the power to the tweeter.
Specifications of a typical production shall be as follows: SPL at 1 m with 2.83 V input shall be at least 86 dB. The nominal impedance shall be 8 ohms, with the minimum impedance being 7 ohms @240 Hz. Rated power handling according to IEC 268-5 shall be at least 60 watt. Frequency response shall be from 60-20kHz +/ – 3 dB.
The enclosure shall be triangular in shape with no visible cable terminals and with a 90-degree angle allowing the speaker to be mounted flush in corners or onto wall and ceiling without brackets using the integrated mounting points or the integrated slider system. It shall be manufactured of ABS plastic with EN54 fireproof certification. The entire loudspeaker shall have an IP65 outdoor rating. For theft deterrence, the installation points shall be hidden behind the grille. The input shall be switchable for use either at nominal 8 ohms, or on a 70V or 100V distributed speaker line via a built-in 15W transformer. Selectable taps shall allow operation at 7.5W, 15W from a 100V distributed speaker line, plus 3.75W, from a 70V line only. Speaker cable terminals shall be push terminals placed on the front baffle.
The cabinet finish shall be white or black. Outside dimensions shall be no greater than 400mm (height) x 190mm (width) x 145mm (depth) and weight shall be 2,7 kg (Ci4-V: 3,15 kg). The loudspeaker system shall be the Cornered Audio Ci4-V (or Ci4 – without high impedance mode).

Usage Instructions
Note: Before starting the installation or usage of the Ci4 loudspeaker, always ensure the power source is disconnected to prevent any electrical mishaps.
Unboxing & Inspection:
- Carefully open the product packaging.
- Ensure all components, including the speaker, mounting hardware (if provided), and any accompanying accessories, are present.
- Visually inspect the speaker for any damages incurred during transit.
Choosing the Right Spot :
- Determine the installation spot, keeping in mind the desired audio coverage area.
- For optimal sound quality, avoid placing the speaker near corners unless it’s a corner installation.
Mounting the Speaker :
- Wall/Ceiling Flush Mounting :
- Mark the spots on the wall or ceiling where the mounting points of the speaker align.
- Securely fix the speaker on the mounting points.
- Using Slider Brackets (if opting for this installation):
- Attach the slider brackets to the wall/ceiling.
- Fix the speaker onto the brackets.
- Coupling Cabinets :
- If you want extended audio coverage, you can couple multiple Ci4 cabinets together. Ensure they’re securely connected and aligned for consistent audio delivery.
Connecting to a Power Source :
- The Ci4 is powered via a corded electric source. Connect the speaker’s power cable to an appropriate electric outlet.
- Ensure the connection is secure to avoid any accidental unplugging.
Audio Connection :
- The speaker comes with a hidden cable terminal located behind the grille.
- Connect your audio source (e.g., amplifier, receiver) to the speaker using the appropriate audio cables.
- Ensure the cable connection is firm and that the cables are routed to avoid trip hazards.
Operating the Speaker :
- Power on the connected audio source (amplifier or receiver).
- Adjust the volume, bass, treble, or other settings as per your preference.
- Always start with a low volume and gradually increase to the desired level to avoid sudden loud outputs.
Maintenance
- Periodically dust off the speaker using a soft cloth.
- In the case of outdoor installation, regularly check for any signs of wear or damage due to environmental factors.
