Overview
This medium-sized Tier 2 in-ceiling loudspeaker is designed to deliver pristine, engaging acoustics where high-performance sound is a key requirement. It is a two-way model featuring an RST II mid-bass driver and 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.
As a Controlled Performance (CP) model, it is fitted with a fully sealed back box that provides an ideal air load for the drivers, optimising mid-range and bass performance while maintaining sonic consistency regardless of interior wall construction. These rigid, mineral-filled enclosures reduce the sound from the back of the cabinet by around 30 dB. This range guarantees excellent audio quality and versatility and offers superior sound isolation between rooms and floors.
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.
