Applications

The versatility of the C2M-T2X makes it suitable for a wide range of applications:

Home Theaters: Its tri-mode configuration makes it ideal for creating immersive surround sound experiences.

Multi-Room Audio Systems: The ability to deliver high-quality stereo sound from a single speaker makes it perfect for multi-room setups.

Commercial Spaces: Its robust power handling and wide frequency response make it suitable for use in commercial environments such as conference rooms, restaurants, and retail spaces.

RST II Dual-Coil Bass Driver

The C2M-T2X features a 7" RST II (Rigid Surface Technology) dual-coil bass driver. This driver utilises a unique cone surface with dimpled design, providing greater rigidity and reduced distortion. The dual-coil setup allows for enhanced bass performance, delivering deep, controlled low frequencies that are crucial for a full-range audio experience.

C-CAM Tweeters

The speaker includes two 1" C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminium/Magnesium) tweeters. C-CAM is a proprietary material used by Monitor Audio for its lightness and rigidity, which helps in producing clear and detailed high frequencies. The tweeters are equipped with the UD Waveguide II, which optimises their dispersion and phase alignment, ensuring smooth and accurate high-frequency performance.

Tri-Mode Configuration

The C2M-T2X supports three operational modes:

Di-Pole Mode: This mode is ideal for creating a diffuse sound field, making it perfect for use in surround sound systems where enveloping audio is desired.

Bi-Pole Mode: In this mode, the speaker drivers work in phase, providing a more direct sound. This is useful in situations where precise sound localisation is important, such as in stereo music systems.

Single Stereo Mode: This mode allows the speaker to deliver stereo sound from a single location, which is particularly useful in areas where installing two separate speakers is impractical.

Frequency Response and Power Handling

The speaker offers an impressive frequency response range of 35Hz to 30kHz, ensuring it can reproduce a wide spectrum of sound from deep bass to the highest treble. This broad frequency range allows the C2M-T2X to deliver a full and rich audio experience.

It is capable of handling up to 150W of power, making it suitable for both residential and commercial installations where high power levels are required.

Quik-Link Connection

The patented Quik-Link connector simplifies the installation process by providing a secure and easy way to connect the speaker to the audio system. This feature is particularly useful for custom installations and professional setups where quick and reliable connections are crucial.

Tri-Grip II Mounting System

The Tri-Grip II mounting system ensures a secure and stable installation. It uses a three-point clamping mechanism that provides a firm grip on the ceiling material, reducing vibrations and potential audio distortions. This system also allows for easier alignment and positioning during installation.

Design and Build Quality

The C2M-T2X features a low-profile, paintable grille that blends seamlessly with the ceiling, making it virtually invisible once installed. This design aspect is crucial for maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the interior space.

Monitor Audio is known for its high build quality, and the C2M-T2X is no exception. The use of high-quality materials and precision engineering ensures long-term reliability and performance.

Acoustic Innovations

Rigid Surface Technology (RST): The RST cone design enhances the structural integrity of the driver diaphragm, reducing breakup and distortion. This technology allows the speaker to deliver cleaner and more accurate sound.

UD Waveguide II: This advanced waveguide improves the dispersion characteristics of the tweeters, ensuring consistent sound quality across a wide listening area. It helps in minimising high-frequency diffraction, resulting in a more open and spacious sound.

Tri-Grip II

Tri-Grip II is an advanced mounting system used in Monitor Audio's Creator Series speakers. It features a three-point fixing mechanism that provides a secure and stable attachment to ceilings or walls. This system minimises vibrations and ensures optimal sound quality. The Tri-Grip II also allows for quick and easy installation, making it user-friendly for both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts. It's designed to accommodate various architectural settings and ensure a flush, aesthetically pleasing finish.

Quick-Link

Quick-Link is an innovative feature designed for easy and efficient speaker installation. This connector system simplifies the wiring process, allowing for quick and secure connections between the speaker and the amplifier or receiver. It is particularly beneficial in multi-speaker setups, where it significantly reduces the time and effort required for installation. The Quick-Link system is a standard feature in Monitor Audio's Creator Series, ensuring reliable and hassle-free installations across various environments.
