The C8-i is the latest innovation in line array technology for permanent installations. It incorporates an advanced transducer technology for both midrange and high frequency reproduction, both of which join a common waveguide. At least two amplifier channels are required, one for low freq., one for mid/hi which is coupled via an internal passive crossover network.
The centrally located mid/high section provides 10° vertical coverage and variable horizontal coverage. The horizontal pattern may be altered to optimize coverage within the context of the application. The horizontal coverage angle may be defined symmetrically or asymmetrically by standard angles between 50° and 140° in 10° increments or may be custom configured with continuously variable Clair TrueFit custom waveguides. The horn and waveguides are constructed, as all Clair waveguides are, with CNC machined Baltic birch plywood. This is symmetrically flanked by the C8-i low frequency sections. Each 8” low frequency driver is front loaded in its own tuned reflex chamber.
The C8-i speaker cabinet is designed to provide exceptional intelligibility and is capable of a frequency response of 60Hz–20kHz.
The C8-i has one of the most versatile, quick and

Subwoofer
The CS118-M is the mobile low frequency subwoofer extension of the Clair Brothers C Series line array systems designed for mobile applications. This arrayable subwoofer is specifically designed to complement the C8-M and C12-M mobile line array systems.
The 18in. direct radiating transducer has a weather-resilient cone that produces exceptional linear excursion, and maximum peak to peak excursion of 70mm (2.75 in). The result is a high power handling, high performance subwoofer that delivers tightly controlled low-frequency response.
The CS118-M has a three-point integral bimodel rigging system for various configurations. The cabinet may be flown above the C8-M line array, providing an aesthetically pleasing alternative to ground stacked subs beneath the array. The CS118-M may also be flown alongside the C12-M array as a bass array.
For applications where flown rigging is not possible, the CS118-M can serve as a ground stacking base for the C8-M line array speakers.
As with all Clair Brothers speaker products, the CS118-M is constructed with the finest Baltic birch plywood and finished with a rugged exterior black epoxy mastic finish to withstand the most demanding conditions.

Coaxial High OutputStage Monitor
The Clair Brothers 1.5AM is a high output 15” coaxial stage monitor with incredible low frequency output. This portable, low profile, high output stage monitoring speaker delivers incredible SPL, exceptional vocal reproduction, and unprecedented low frequency reproduction from a small enclosure. Designed for bi-amplification and custom processing (utilizing Clair Brothers amplification and processing), the 1.5AM is in a class by itself. No other product can duplicate its combination of performance, size and packaging.The component at the heart of the 1.5AM is a custom coaxial assembly with the most powerful combination of woofer and compression driver on the market in this size class. The high frequency compression driver features a 2” throat diameter (4” voice coil diameter), a pure titanium 4” diaphragm with a titanium nitride coating and a neodymium magnet assembly. The driver is joined to a 40° horizontal by 60° vertical rotatable horn. A 15” carbon fiber reinforced cone transducer provides mid-bass and low frequency reproduction. The combination of our professional high-output components delivers exceptional performance.Dual rear mounted EP-4 connectors (male and
female) allow the use of multiple cabinets from a single amplifier. Low profile styling and flush mounted side handles provides great aesthetic appeal and portability. The speaker grille is constructed of aerospace grade 1/8” gauge perforated aluminum and is specially treated to create a durable exterior finish.Clair Brothers combines amplification, and proprietary DSP processing in portable racks for all monitor systems. Custom cabling for systems is available and can be pre-wired, labeled and delivered in road cases.As with all Clair Brothers products, the cabinet is constructed of the finest Baltic birch and finished with a rugged polyurea paint to withstand the most demanding conditions.

Coaxial Stage Monitor/ Point Source
The Clair Brothers 1AM is the next generation single 12” stage monitor / multipurpose loudspeaker. The engineering behind the 1AM combines the Clair tradition of great stage monitors with the successful Clair coaxial horn technology developed over the past 5 years. The result is a highly capable and compact speaker with excellent coherence between components that is simultaneously in-your-face and smooth and hi-fi sounding. The 1AM is not only a stage monitor, but also very capable of portable and installed PA functions based on its integral mounting points and pole mount. A family of optional mounting accessories is available to facilitate permanent installation configurations.1AM Transducer Components: The high frequency compression driver features a 1.5” throat diameter (3” voice coil diameter), a pure titanium diaphragm, and a neodymium magnet assembly. The driver is joined to a 40° horizontal by 60° vertical rotatable horn. A 12” cone transducer provides mid-bass and low frequency reproduction.1AM Connectors: Dual rear mounted connectors allow the use of multiple cabinets from a single amplifier. Additionally, there are three slightly more hidden connectors. Two are positioned within the left and right side handles, and the other is on the bottom. When used for drum fills or in pole-mount positions these additional connectors prove to be extremely
useful for clean cable management.1AM+ Electronics: The 1AM is also available as a ‘self-powered’ version called the 1AM+. The 1AM+ features an extremely lightweight and powerful OEM amplifier module made exclusively for Clair Brothers by Powersoft. The base configuration of the 1AM+ features a similar DSP to the successful kiTSeries with 32-bit floating point processing with crossover slopes up to 48dB/oct and FIR filtering. The 1AM+ input panel features PowerCon (In/thru) connectors and a pair of XLRs (In/thru). The 1AM is voltage agile with a PFC corrected PSU that accepts 85-240VAC 50/60Hz. 1AM/1AM+ Preset Modes: The 1AM presents interesting preset configurations for both Lake processing and native to the 1AM+ built-in DSP. The preset modes include: (1) 1AM Stage Monitor Mode (2) 12AM Emulation Mode (3) 1AM Full Range PA Mode (4) 1AM 100Hz HPF Mode (for use with complementary subwoofer)Low profile styling and ergonomic side handles along with an extended front handle provides great aesthetic appeal and portability. The speaker grille is constructed of high grade 14 gauge perforated steel and is specially treated to create a durable exterior finish.
