Applications


Home Theater Systems: The Monitor Audio C265 is ideal for use in home theater systems, where it can deliver high-quality sound while remaining discreetly out of sight. Its powerful bass and detailed highs ensure an immersive audio experience for movies and TV shows.

Multi-Room Audio:
The C265 is perfect for multi-room audio systems, providing consistent, high-quality sound throughout the home. Its wide frequency response and pivoting tweeter make it versatile enough to deliver great sound in any room.

High-End Audio Installations: For audiophiles and those seeking premium sound quality in a hidden format, the C265 offers the performance typically found in larger, more visible speakers. Its advanced materials and design make it suitable for high-end audio installations where aesthetics are also a priority.
6.5-Inch C-CAM Bass Driver

Advanced Material: The C265 utilises a 6.5-inch C-CAM bass driver, a technology originally developed for Monitor Audio's high-end speakers. C-CAM combines the lightweight and high rigidity of ceramic and aluminum, ensuring that the driver can move rapidly and accurately, delivering tight, punchy bass without distortion.

Deep and Controlled Bass: This driver is engineered to deliver powerful, deep bass that enhances the overall listening experience. Whether you’re watching movies or listening to music, the C265 ensures that low frequencies are rendered with precision and impact.

1-Inch C-CAM Gold Dome Tweeter


High-Frequency Clarity: The C265’s tweeter is made from the same C-CAM material as the bass driver, ensuring consistent sonic characteristics across the frequency spectrum. The gold dome enhances its performance, delivering clear, detailed highs that add sparkle to music and dialog.

Pivoting Design: The tweeter is designed to pivot, allowing you to direct the high frequencies to your preferred listening position. This feature is particularly useful in rooms where the speaker placement is not directly aligned with the seating area.

Easy Installation


Tri-Grip Fixing System:
The C265 is designed for quick and secure installation. It features Monitor Audio’s Tri-Grip fixing system, which provides a firm and stable mounting in the ceiling. This system also ensures that the speaker remains flush with the ceiling for a neat, professional finish.

Magnetic Grille: The speaker comes with a low-profile, paintable magnetic grille that blends seamlessly with the ceiling. The magnetic attachment makes it easy to remove and reattach the grille if needed.
High Overall Performance

Wide Frequency Response:
The combination of the C-CAM bass driver and tweeter allows the C265 to deliver a wide frequency response, covering the full audio spectrum with precision. This ensures that every detail of your audio is reproduced, from deep bass notes to delicate high frequencies.

High Sensitivity and Power Handling:
With a sensitivity rating of 88 dB and a power handling capacity of up to 100 watts, the C265 can deliver loud, clear sound even in larger rooms. This makes it a versatile choice for various listening environments.

Aesthetic Design

Discreet Appearance: The C265’s design is focused on blending into the room’s decor. Its flush-mount design and paintable grille make it almost invisible once installed, allowing it to deliver high-quality sound without disrupting the aesthetic of your space.

Architectural Integration:
The speaker is designed to integrate seamlessly into modern interiors, making it suitable for use in living rooms, home theaters, kitchens, and other areas where high-quality, discreet audio is desired.
