Column 16 is a full range, passive column loudspeaker designed for larger and more acoustically demanding commercial installations. Sixteen 2.2" full-range drivers in a single 1.1m cabinet deliver high sensitivity, long throw and the tight vertical pattern required for reverberant architecture. 

Every Column 16 ships with the complete installation kit as standard — pan-and-tilt wall bracket, metal safety strap, IP54 weatherisation kit and spare grille cloth. No separate accessory order required. Available in black or white, and paintable to match the architecture. 

The sixteen-driver column produces a wide 150° horizontal pattern with a narrow 5° vertical pattern, directing sound at the listening area across long throws while rejecting the ceiling reflections that compromise intelligibility in large rooms. 

As part of the Optimal Audio ecosystem, when paired with SmartAmp and Zone, Column 16 can be installed with factory-tuned Speech and Music DSP presets accessible and controlled through WebApp, providing integrators with a ready to go system ideal for the demands of worship, conference and transport applications.
