Frequently Asked Questions - C800TT Proficient

Mount the C800TT using the included bracket. Ensure it is securely attached to a wall or eave. Run speaker wire from your amplifier to the terminals, observing polarity (red to positive, black to negative).

Is the C800TT weatherproof?

Yes, the C800TT is designed for outdoor use with UV-resistant materials and moisture protection. It can withstand rain and sun exposure, but avoid submerging or direct water spray.

What gauge speaker wire should I use?

Yes, the grille and enclosure can be painted with a high-quality exterior spray paint. Remove the grille before painting and ensure proper ventilation.

It features a 1-inch silk dome tweeter for smooth high frequencies and wide dispersion.

The Single-Point Stereo Solution

When it comes to your new whole-house sound system, you can get superior sound with a single TT speaker instead of using an ordinary pair of speakers. Here's why: you get uniform dispersion throughout each room and more bass at low listening levels. Best of all, you can have a smokin' whole-house sound system using TT ceiling speakers and it frees up more bucks for your new home theater rig.

Our flagship TT is best suited for bigger rooms. The C850TT has an 8" Kevlar woofer for high cranking power if you want to kick it up loud. The twin pivoting 1" aluminum tweeters means open and airy voice intelligibility.

Our C800TT features an 8" graphite woofer which delivers tight, punchy bass. Like the C850TT, it has twin pivoting 1" aluminum tweeters and bass & treble contour switches to shape the sound to the room.

The C600TT features a polypropylene 6½" woofer and twin ½" dome tweeters and is the answer for smaller rooms.

We offer the widest TT selection, with superb sonic performance and unbeatable features. No one can even come close to matching the Proficient TT lineup.

Quality-built, of course. Exactly what you'd expect from a premium brand like Proficient.
