MCS - Metal Columnar Speaker Systems
MCS20T / MCS40T / MCS80T Description
Penton Audio’s high-performance MCS Series Columnar Speaker Systems have robust, weather-resistant construction, yet are surprisingly stylish.
Each model uses 3.5″ full-range speakers (2, 4 and 8 respectively), crossing over to a horn tweeter. Connection is via a 7″ cable. The opposite end offers a low-profile screwdriver tap selector that allows 70.7-volt constant-voltage use. Weather resistance is provided by coated paper cones, aluminum housings, mesh screens and a cable gland nut.
Finished in white (MCS40T-B in black), they may be mounted using the matching angle bracket provided.
MCS20T / MCS40T / MCS80T Features
- Architecturally Pleasing Style Sturdy Weather-Resistant Construction
- Choose 1, 2 or 3′ Length w/Slim 4″ by 4″ Depth/Width
- Horizontal or Vertical Mount 70.7-volt Xfrmr Output

MCS20T / MCS40T / MCS80T Applications
Columns blend well with angular architecture. Similar to all well designed columns, the MCS Series controls dispersion over the long axis, reducing feedback and dramatically increasing output levels in the same axis when compared to a single speaker. Vertical dispersion remains unaffected.
The durability, weather-resistance and performance of the stylish MCS units make them an intelligent choice for countless applications. Used in concert with other speaker systems, voice announce and background music, in transportation and educational facilities. They are also used on atriums, factories, churches, show arenas and sports venues. The length of the flat black MCS40T-B and slim design makes it an excellent choice for use with flat LCD projector screens.
