Monitor Audio C180 In-Ceiling Speaker
Monitor Audio has incorporated an 8-inch MMP II bass driver with Monitor Audio's signature C-CAM Gold Dome Tweeter to provide a high-quality sound, ease of drive and a wide frequency response followed by dispersion. An optional square grille can be used on this speaker instead of the circle grille.
Key Features
- 2-way design with pivoting C-CAM® tweeters (15 degrees of play).
- High overall efficiency.
- High-frequency level adjustment (3dB).
- Audio matches with Climate and Bronze BR and Radius Series hi-fi speakers.
- The innovative Tri-Grip fixing system is easier to install than conventional clamping schemes but provides three times the surface area and a better surface seal, maximising bass response and mid-range clarity.
- Trimless, magnetic aluminium alloy grille for rust-free performance and longevity.
- Paintable surface to blend with the living environment. A paint mask and additional scrim material are provided for trouble-free painting.
- Fire retardant to UL-94 VO rating.
- Splash and humidity-proof for installation in shower room or pool areas.
- It features a dust protection cover that is designed to prevent the ingress of dirt or dust into the driver and crossover.
Entry-level discreet audio solutions
Combining well-established Monitor Audio acoustic technologies such as Gold-Dome tweeters and Metal Matrix Polymer II (MMP II) bass drivers, our Basics range of in-ceiling and in-wall architectural speakers provide exceptional audio performance – with little intrusion into the interior space.
Offering total placement flexibility, the C165, C165-T2 and C180 in-ceiling models, a 6” and 8” driver size respectively, provide the perfect answer to whole-house integrated audio solutions. With a shallow depth, and patented Tri-Grip fixings, the models are quick and easy to install, and with paintable grilles – they’ll blend in seamlessly. The C165-T2 also cleverly features dual, independent, pivoting 1-inch C-CAM tweeters to enable high-performance stereo sound playback from a single speaker, particularly useful for smaller spaces.
Who is Monitor Audio?
Starting in 1972 with the charismatic Mo Iqbal, Monitor Audio began loudspeaker design and production using tried and tested methods available at that time - plastic cone materials, fabric dome tweeters and reflex-loaded braced cabinets. The speakers were welcomed by enthusiasts both in the UK and throughout the World.
