Onyx 204 CTW
4" Expandable Column Speaker - IP67


Product at a Glance
The British Acoustics Onyx 204 CTW is a 4" expandable column speaker designed for IP67-rated outdoor and indoor use, delivering 60W continuous (240W peak) power with a 150 Hz–18 kHz response. Its 120° x 30° coverage and 111 dB max SPL ensure focused, intelligible sound in challenging environments. Built with a die-cast aluminium shell and Onyx Terra-Coating, it resists dust, water, and corrosion. Beamforming technology minimises lobing, while V8 extenders allow scalable deployment. Featuring a 100V/70V tap, screw-free terminals, and included wall brackets, the Onyx 204 CTW offers durable, clean, and high-performance sound reinforcement for demanding architectural installations.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Painstakingly Perfect Production

Over the years, craftsmanship has been closely linked with small scale individualistic production. Back in 1972, we started the same way. As we grew in scale & size, it was difficult to build each speaker individually, but quality control was of utmost importance as so switching to a general assembly line was simply not an option. So we wrote up a code, one quite like enigma, to ensure quality control. We selected the right partners, got the right tools, and in cases where those weren't available, we invented them. We grew slower than most as our aim was to last longer than most.
