Applications

The Monitor Audio C2L-T2X is versatile and can be used in various settings:

Home Theaters: Perfect for immersive surround sound systems, providing clear dialogue and dynamic sound effects.

Multi-Room Audio Systems: Ideal for distributing high-quality sound throughout a home or commercial space.

Commercial Spaces: Suitable for use in restaurants, retail stores, conference rooms, and other commercial environments where high-quality audio is essential.

RST II Dual-Coil Bass Driver

The C2L-T2X features a large 9" RST II (Rigid Surface Technology) dual-coil bass driver. This driver is designed with a unique cone structure that enhances rigidity while minimising resonance, leading to cleaner and more accurate bass reproduction. The dual-coil configuration allows the speaker to handle complex audio signals with ease, ensuring a rich and full sound experience.

C-CAM Tweeters

The speaker includes two 1.25" C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium) tweeters. This material is known for its lightness and strength, allowing for high-fidelity sound reproduction. The tweeters are equipped with the UD Waveguide II, an advanced technology that optimises the dispersion of high frequencies and improves off-axis performance, providing a broad and uniform sound field.

Operational Modes

The C2L-T2X supports three distinct operational modes, offering flexibility in installation and sound delivery:

Stereo Mode: In this configuration, the speaker to delivers stereo sound from a single location, which is particularly useful in areas where installing two separate speakers is impractical.

Bi-Pole Mode: In Bi-Pole mode, the tweeters and woofers operate in phase with each other, providing a more focused and directional sound. This setting is beneficial for creating a stereo effect or for specific audio applications where precise localisation of sound is important.

Di-Pole Mode: This mode is designed for surround sound environments, where a more diffuse and ambient sound field is desired. The tweeters are wired out of phase with each other, which helps create a wider soundstage and enhances the surround sound experience.

Acoustic Innovations

Rigid Surface Technology (RST): The RST cone design enhances the structural integrity of the woofer, reducing unwanted resonances and improving overall sound clarity. This technology is crucial for delivering tight, controlled bass and minimising distortion.

UD Waveguide II: This innovative waveguide ensures that high frequencies are evenly distributed, providing consistent sound quality across a wide listening area. It helps in reducing high-frequency diffraction, resulting in a more open and natural sound.

Frequency Response and Power Handling

The C2L-T2X offers an extensive frequency response range of 30Hz to 30kHz, ensuring that it can reproduce a full spectrum of audio frequencies from deep lows to crystal-clear highs. This wide range makes the speaker suitable for various audio content, from movies and music to more complex audio applications.

It is capable of handling up to 240W of power, making it robust enough for high-volume environments without compromising on sound quality. This power handling capability ensures that the speaker can deliver strong, dynamic audio without distortion.

Quik-Link Connection

The patented Quik-Link connector simplifies the installation process by providing a quick and secure way to connect the speaker to the audio system. This feature is particularly useful in professional installations where efficiency and reliability are paramount.

Tri-Grip II Mounting System

The Tri-Grip II mounting system offers a secure and stable installation. This system uses a three-point clamping mechanism that holds the speaker firmly in place, reducing unwanted vibrations and ensuring consistent audio performance. The Tri-Grip II system also makes it easy to align the speaker correctly during installation, enhancing the overall user experience.

Design and Build Quality

The C2L-T2X features a sleek, low-profile design that allows it to blend seamlessly with any ceiling. Its paintable grille can be customised to match the surrounding décor, making it an unobtrusive addition to any space.

The speaker is built with high-quality materials and components, ensuring durability and long-term reliability. Monitor Audio’s commitment to superior build quality is evident in the C2L-T2X, which is designed to deliver exceptional performance over its lifetime.
