The Klipsch CDT-5800-C II maintains the core technology use of a premium 1” Titanium compression driver (tweeter) mated to an exclusive Tractrix® Horn combined with a large 8” Cerametallic™ woofer in a 2-way design. Now with a new low-profile, more elegant grille and refinements to both high frequency and low frequency reproduction, it continues as a high-performance choice for everything from 2-channel music playback to full, large room surround sound use.
- THE UPDATE FOR YOUR EYES: THE NEW SLIMTRIM™ GRILLE: With an all new grille, the visible frame size is reduced by 90% and grille depth is reduced by 80% over the previous design, for a more edge-to-edge consistent look that blends in with the wall more attractively. The new aluminum, paintable, magnetic grille attaches tightly and securely with ease to virtually eliminate resonant distortion.
- KLIPSCH EXCLUSIVE CONTROLLED DISPERSION TECHNOLOGY: Klipsch horn-loaded technology increases acoustic output while significantly reducing distortion. Proprietary Controlled Dispersion Technology allows for both the symmetrical, 100° Tractrix Horn compression driver (tweeter) and woofer to be independently aimed toward the main listening area. The tweeter swivels while the woofer rotates 360° and pivots 15° in any direction.
- TITANIUM DIAPHRAGM COMPRESSION DRIVER (TWEETER) WITH LINEAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION (LTS): Combined with the Tractrix Horn, the one-inch, solid-formed, very lightweight metallic diaphragm works in conjunction with a precise phasing plug at the horn throat to create a highly efficient driver with excellent transient response and lack of distortion. The new Linear Travel Suspension assures the most precise diaphragm excursion, increasing high-frequency detail and smoothness.
- MACHINE-SPUN CERAMETALLIC™ WOOFER: The solid Aluminum diaphragm, anodized to add stiffness and provide perfect damping, has a new hi-tech look that also delivers increased rigidity for even tighter, more defined bass. The new integrated dust cap further strengthens the cone and helps ventilate the voice coil for increased driver durability.
- PREMIUM, HIGH DEFINITION NETWORK: The perfect blending between drivers for full bandwidth balanced response.

Product Manuals
A: I have these for my in ceiling rear speakers for a 5.1 setup and they sound great. I think they would also work well in a 7.1 setup.
Q: Would this speaker perform good as a center channel speaker in the 5 channel setup?
A: I did not use the speaker as a center channel but. Here is a couple of things to think about with using it at a center channel speaker: 1. Direction, it may not project the speech as well as a speaker facing you. Wall mounted may work better than ceiling mounted. 2. Compare the frequency response with this speaker and their center channel speaker to see if they are similar. You would want one that promotes speech over other parts of the sound track.
