Klipsch PIC-800-T BW

The Klipsch PIC-800-T BW in-ceiling speaker is a professional audio solution designed to deliver optimal sound quality in a variety of environments. Whether for a high-end residential installation or a large-scale commercial project, this model combines acoustic performance, installation versatility, and durability.

Advanced Audio Technology

The PIC-800-T BW speaker incorporates Klipsch’s latest technological innovations to ensure faithful and immersive sound reproduction. At the heart of this system is a 20.3 cm mid/bass driver capable of delivering deep, impactful bass. It is paired with a 2.5 cm titanium compression tweeter mounted on an exclusive Tractrix horn. This configuration ensures wide and even sound dispersion, with exceptional clarity in high frequencies.

One of the standout features of this speaker is its Tractrix Hyperfold Port. This patented Klipsch technology optimizes airflow within the speaker, resulting in more powerful and precise bass while significantly reducing distortion. The result is rich, detailed sound, even at high volumes, that fills the space evenly.

Versatility and Easy Installation

The PIC-800-T BW is designed to adapt to a wide range of configurations. It can operate on both a 100V line and a standard 8-ohm setup, offering great flexibility. In 100V mode, its power is adjustable between 25W and 100W, allowing precise sound level adjustment based on the space to be covered. In 8-ohm configuration, it can deliver up to 400W peak power, ensuring ample headroom for the most dynamic moments.

Installing this speaker has been made as simple as possible thanks to the Sky Hook Pro system. This patented mechanism allows for quick and secure ceiling mounting without the need for specific tools. The mounting jaws automatically adjust to the ceiling’s thickness, ensuring optimal hold in just seconds. This ease of installation saves professionals considerable time while ensuring a perfect and discreet integration.

Durability and Adaptability

The Klipsch PIC-800-T BW not only excels in audio performance but is also built to withstand the most demanding environments. Certified IPX5, it offers effective protection against water splashes and humidity. This feature makes it particularly suitable for use in spaces such as bathrooms, spas, or even covered outdoor areas.

The speaker’s enclosure is made from high-quality materials resistant to UV rays and temperature variations. This robustness ensures exceptional durability, even under intensive use conditions. For seamless integration into any decor, Klipsch provides two magnetic grilles with each speaker: one black and one white. These grilles can be painted to perfectly match the ceiling, making the installation virtually invisible.

A Complete Audio Solution

The PIC-800-T BW is part of Klipsch’s professional range, offering a complete solution for high-end audio installations. It can be used alone for monophonic sound distribution or combined with other speakers in the same series to create sophisticated stereo or multi-channel systems. Its compatibility with 100V lines allows it to cover large spaces without quality loss, making it ideal for large stores, hotels, or office spaces.

For home theater installations, this speaker can serve as a central element in a Dolby Atmos system, adding a vertical dimension to the sound and creating a truly immersive audio experience. Its ability to faithfully reproduce a wide range of frequencies also makes it a smart choice for high-quality music playback in demanding residential or commercial spaces.
