Optimized for Larger Rooms and Higher Output Needs

With increased surface area and power handling, the Astronaut XL is ideal for spaces up to approximately 1500 square feet with 12' ceilings. Its omnidirectional sound field ensures consistent coverage across a wide listening area, minimizing volume drop-offs and enhancing clarity for every seat in the room. The larger panel size delivers more impactful sound while retaining the controlled dispersion and low-distortion characteristics of Cetacea's flat-panel design.

Full-Range Performance

The XL model offers an extended frequency response from 70 Hz to 15 kHz, powered by a 60W amplifier, providing ample headroom for both voice reinforcement and multimedia playback. Like the CL, the XL uses a magnetically shielded custom transducer, resulting in precise, low-distortion sound with excellent speech intelligibility and smooth tonal balance across the frequency spectrum.

Installation-Ready for Permanent Integration

Despite its enhanced output, the Astronaut XL maintains a slim, sealed enclosure designed for permanent installation in professional AV environments. It includes a rear metal mounting plate with four threaded inserts, allowing it to be mounted securely directly to ceilings. The durable ABS enclosure and enclosed design protect the transducer from dust and debris in high-traffic or equipment-dense spaces.

Reliable, Passive Operation for Demanding Applications

The Astronaut XL is an active speaker that integrates easily with projectors, whiteboards, computers, etc. With a 60W mixer/amplifier, it offers high reliability for long-term installations. Its rugged design and high-output performance make it well-suited to educational, corporate, and institutional AV systems where consistent, room-wide audio is essential.

For integrators and AV designers working with larger instructional spaces or presentation venues, the Astronaut XL delivers the same core technology as the Astronaut CL�but with greater power, coverage, and flexibility.
