Its high-quality components and controlled performance design ensure that it delivers the best possible sound, no matter where it’s installed.
Commercial Audio Installations: For commercial spaces that require high-quality, unobtrusive audio solutions, the CP-CT150 is a perfect fit. Its slim profile, paintable grille, and integrated back box make it a versatile and reliable choice for a wide range of commercial environments.
Custom Installations: The CP-CT150 is also suitable for custom installations, offering the flexibility and performance needed to meet the demands of unique spaces. Its combination of advanced driver technology, controlled performance design, and easy installation make it a valuable addition to any custom audio project.
Advanced Driver Technology
5-Inch MMP II Bass Driver: The CP-CT150 is equipped with a 5-inch MMP II (Metal Matrix Polymer) bass driver. This driver features a lightweight yet rigid construction, allowing it to deliver powerful and accurate bass frequencies. The MMP II cone is crafted from a polymer material with a metal coating, which enhances its strength and damping properties, ensuring minimal distortion and smooth frequency response.
1-Inch C-CAM Gold Dome Tweeter: The CP-CT150 also includes a 1-inch C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminum Magnesium) gold dome tweeter. This tweeter is known for its ability to produce clear, detailed high frequencies, which are critical for creating an immersive audio experience. The C-CAM material is not only lightweight but also extremely rigid, allowing the tweeter to deliver precise sound with a wide dispersion pattern, ensuring consistent audio coverage throughout the room.
Controlled Performance Design
Integrated Back Box: One of the standout features of the CP-CT150 is its integrated back box. This feature is designed to control the speaker's sound output and prevent audio leakage into adjacent rooms or spaces. The back box also ensures consistent performance by maintaining an optimal acoustic environment for the drivers, regardless of the ceiling cavity’s size or shape.
Sealed Enclosure for Enhanced Bass: The sealed enclosure provided by the back box allows for better control of the bass response, resulting in tighter, more accurate low-frequency reproduction. This design also helps to protect the internal components from dust and debris, which can be an issue in ceiling installations.
Ease of Installation
Tri-Grip Fixing System: The CP-CT150 is designed with Monitor Audio's proprietary Tri-Grip fixing system, which simplifies the installation process. This three-point fixing system securely holds the speaker in place, distributing the load evenly across the ceiling material to minimise the risk of damage. The Tri-Grip system also ensures a tight seal between the speaker and the ceiling, enhancing the speaker’s overall performance by reducing unwanted vibrations.
Magnetic Grille: The speaker comes with a magnetic, paintable grille, which can be easily removed for maintenance or customisation. The magnetic design allows for a seamless, tool-free installation and ensures that the speaker blends discreetly into any décor. The grille is also paintable, allowing it to be color-matched to the ceiling for an even more unobtrusive appearance.
High-Quality Audio Performance
Wide Frequency Response: The CP-CT150 offers a wide frequency response, ranging from 75Hz to 25kHz, ensuring that it can reproduce both deep bass and crisp high frequencies with clarity and precision. This wide frequency range makes it suitable for a variety of audio applications, from background music to detailed home theater soundtracks.
High Sensitivity: With a sensitivity rating of 85 dB, the CP-CT150 is capable of delivering high output levels even with modest amplifier power. This makes it a versatile speaker that can be used in a range of setups, from simple two-channel systems to more complex multi-speaker installations.
Nominal Impedance: The speaker has a nominal impedance of 6 ohms, which allows it to work effectively with a wide range of amplifiers. This impedance level strikes a balance between performance and compatibility, ensuring that the CP-CT150 can be easily integrated into most audio systems.
Versatile Applications
Home Theater Systems: The CP-CT150 is an excellent choice for in-ceiling speakers in home theater systems. Its ability to deliver detailed and immersive sound makes it perfect for both front, rear, and overhead channels, providing a complete surround sound experience. Its integrated back box ensures that it performs consistently across different room sizes and shapes.
Multi-Room Audio: For multi-room audio systems, the CP-CT150 offers the flexibility and performance needed to deliver high-quality sound throughout the home. Its discreet design allows it to be installed in any room, from kitchens and bathrooms to living rooms and bedrooms, without disrupting the interior design.
Commercial Installations: The CP-CT150 is also well-suited for commercial applications, such as in restaurants, hotels, and retail spaces. Its controlled performance design ensures that it delivers clear, consistent audio in any environment, while its discreet appearance keeps it from detracting from the space’s aesthetics.
