Full Description

Compared with most ceiling speakers the Monitor Audio CP-CT260 offers the benefit of it’s own enclosure, which not only protects the speaker but also serves to enhance the acoustics. High grade ceramic coated aluminium drivers provide a clear and detailed presentation, making it suited to stereo and cinema installations where performance really counts.

Of course there is a gold dome tweeter which pivots to aid steering the sound towards the listener, this is accompanied by a HF level adjust switch and boundary compensation control to help get the best from your speaker once installed.

Pivoting C-CAM gold dome tweeter and MMPII bass driver.
High overall efficiency.
High frequency level adjustment (+/-3dB).
Boundary compensation controls.
Innovative Tri-Grip fixing system is easier to install than conventional clamping schemes.
Magnetic and easily removable steel grille.
Paint-able surface to blend with the living environment.
Additional scrim material is provided for trouble free painting.
Airtight enclosure design, which protects each precision-engineered driver system against the damaging ingress of dust and dirt.

Gold Dome C-CAM

The gold dome tweeter is formed from a ceramic-coated aluminium/magnesium alloy, gold anodised to a specific thickness for ideal stiffness and damping characteristics. Its new profile and surround geometry have been developed using advanced modelling tools, to provide the optimum qualities for accurate sound reproduction. The new design moves the first order of breakup to beyond 35kHz, producing a linear response way beyond audibility, which matches the wide frequency bandwidth available from HD music and cinema sound formats.

C-CAM Bass Drivers

Refined over many years by Monitor Audio, Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium is used as a driver cone material for all our speaker designs from the mid-market models up. Originally developed by the aerospace industry for jet engine components, C-CAM’s properties are ideal for loudspeaker cones being extremely rigid, yet light enough to yield high overall efficiency. C-CAM bass drivers are able to resist the bending distortion imposed by sudden and extreme bass excursions to reproduce very clean, deep and dynamic bass frequencies. Conventional cone materials are more likely to flex in operation, producing a significant level of audible distortion.

Tri-Grip Dog Fixings

All controlled performance models feature a unique Tri-Grip fixing design. This 3-position ‘dog’ style fixing provides a greater contact surface area than other types, whilst saving installation time. The Tri-Grip fixings are made from a tough re-enforced polymer, giving a secure fixing without the risk of over-tightening.

Magnetic Grille Fixing

Ultra-powerful Neodymium magnets hold the speaker grilles in place, allowing for easier installation and access. In-ceiling models offer the opportunity to use square and circular grilles for the ideal aesthetic result.
