Description
The TEXONIC CS74 is a compact 4-inch 2-way commercial wall speaker designed for spaces where clear background music and paging are required without installing a large speaker cabinet.
With 70V, 100V and 8Ω operation, the CS74 can be used with commercial distributed-audio amplifiers or compatible low-impedance systems. Its compact enclosure and adjustable mounting bracket make it especially useful for restaurants, retail stores, offices, reception areas and other customer-facing spaces.

Music & Paging
Designed for Smaller Commercial Spaces
Not every business needs a large wall speaker. The CS74 is designed for applications where the speaker should remain relatively discreet while still providing practical coverage for everyday background music and voice announcements.
Its approximately 222 × 160 × 160mm enclosure works well on walls, columns and other mounting locations where available space is limited.
Where the CS74 Works Best
Why Choose the CS74?
Two-Way Sound for Music & Paging
The CS74 combines a 4-inch main driver with a 1.5-inch high-frequency driver. This 2-way configuration makes the speaker suitable for business systems that need both regular background music and understandable voice announcements.
70V / 100V Commercial Audio Operation
For commercial installations with several speakers, the CS74 includes a built-in transformer with selectable wattage settings. This allows multiple speakers to be connected to a suitable 70V or 100V commercial amplifier.
| Mode | Power Settings | Recommended Application |
|---|---|---|
| 70V | 1.25W / 2.5W / 5W / 10W / 20W | Multi-speaker commercial systems |
| 100V | 2.5W / 5W / 10W / 20W | 100V distributed commercial systems |
| 8Ω | 30W RMS / 60W Peak | Compatible low-impedance amplifier |
Choosing a 70V / 100V Tap
Lower transformer settings are useful when more speakers are required at moderate volume. Higher settings provide more output from each speaker but consume more of the amplifier's available power.
| Tap Range | Typical Goal |
|---|---|
| 1.25W – 2.5W | Low-level music or closely spaced speakers |
| 5W – 10W | General commercial background music and paging |
| 20W | More output where the installation requires it |
Simple Amplifier Matching
For a 70V or 100V system, add the selected tap wattage of every CS74 connected to the amplifier.
6 CS74 speakers × 10W = 60W total connected speaker load. Choose a suitable commercial amplifier with additional power capacity above the calculated speaker load.
8Ω Low-Impedance Bypass
When the selector is placed in the 8Ω position, the transformer is bypassed and the CS74 operates as a conventional low-impedance loudspeaker. The published rating is 30W RMS / 60W peak.
Adjustable Wall & Surface Mounting
The supplied U-shaped bracket supports horizontal or vertical installation and allows the speaker to be aimed toward the main listening area.
This is useful for installations above seating areas, along retail walls, near reception areas or on structural surfaces where ceiling speakers are not practical.
Protected Covered-Outdoor Installation
A published IP weather rating is not specified for this model. When used outdoors, install the CS74 only in a protected location such as beneath a roof, soffit, canopy or other structure that keeps the speaker sheltered from direct weather.
