Compact and Versatile

With a compact design and shallow mounting depth, the C1S is versatile enough for a variety of installation scenarios, including spaces with limited ceiling clearance.

Its unobtrusive form factor does not compromise sound quality, making it a practical choice for both high-end residential applications and commercial environments like offices, restaurants, and retail spaces.

C-CAM Drivers

The C1S features Monitor Audio's proprietary C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminum/Magnesium) technology in both its mid-bass driver and tweeter, delivering high-fidelity audio with minimal distortion.

5" C-CAM Mid-Bass Driver: This driver is crafted to offer exceptional rigidity and lightness, allowing for a precise reproduction of mid and low frequencies.

The result is a clear, detailed bass response that does not overpower the midrange, making it perfect for music and dialogue clarity in multi-room systems or home theaters.

1" C-CAM Tweeter: The tweeter provides a smooth and extended high-frequency response. It features a pivoting design, enabling fine-tuning of the sound direction towards the listening area, which is particularly beneficial in setups where precise audio imaging is crucial.

Quik-Link Connector

One of the standout features of the C1S is the Quik-Link connector. This innovative design element simplifies the wiring process significantly, allowing for a quicker and more secure connection during installation.

The Quik-Link system is especially useful for large projects or when multiple speakers are being installed, as it reduces installation time and minimises potential errors.

Tri-Grip II Mounting System

The Tri-Grip II mounting system is a robust and user-friendly feature that ensures secure speaker placement with minimal effort. This system provides a more secure hold than traditional clamping methods, minimising vibrations that can negatively impact sound quality.

The Tri-Grip II's three-point fixing mechanism offers three times the surface area contact compared to standard mounting brackets, enhancing stability and acoustic performance.

Aesthetic Design and Customisation

The C1S is designed to be discreet, with a low-profile, paintable grille that allows it to blend seamlessly into any ceiling. This makes the speaker ideal for settings where aesthetics are as important as audio quality.

For additional customisation, the C1S offers optional square grilles, enabling users to choose a design that best fits their interior décor.
