Overview
This medium-sized Tier 1 in-ceiling loudspeaker is designed for cost-effective installations where product simplicity and solid acoustic performance are required. It is a two-way model featuring a C-CAM mid-bass driver and a C-CAM tweeter. The performance benefit of having both within a single design means greatly improved clarity, wider dispersion into the listening environment, and clear, lifelike, high-fidelity sound—of the quality you’d expect from any Monitor Audio passive box loudspeaker. It has a cut-out dimension of 212 mm and uses the Quik-Link speaker cable connector, which revolutionises the ease and speed of speaker installation. Tri-Grip has also evolved for simple, reliable, and strong fitment.

About Monitor Audio
On one level, this is simple to answer: it’s sound that comes as close as possible to what the artist heard in the recording studio. The reality is far more complicated. For starters, anyone who has been in a recording studio will be aware that they don’t always sound fantastic. Sorry to dispel that myth, but it’s just a fact. Monitor Audio loudspeakers sound truthful and natural; they are engineered to reproduce music as the artist intended. A subtle but important difference. At its core, Monitor Audio’s mission is to develop loudspeakers that impose themselves as little as possible. Speakers that let the recording do the talking.
