Applications
Residential Audio Systems: The CP-CT260 is a versatile choice for residential audio installations, providing high-quality sound performance while maintaining a low-profile design. Whether you're building a new home theater or upgrading an existing multi-room audio system, the CP-CT260 delivers the performance and reliability needed for a premium listening experience.
Commercial Audio Installations: The CP-CT260 is also ideal for commercial installations, where both aesthetics and audio performance are important. Its controlled performance design ensures that it delivers consistent sound quality across different spaces, making it a perfect choice for environments like restaurants, hotels, and retail spaces.
Custom Installations: For custom audio projects, the CP-CT260 offers the flexibility and performance needed to meet the unique demands of each space. Its combination of advanced driver technology, controlled performance design, and ease of installation makes it a valuable addition to any custom audio setup.
Advanced Driver Technology
6.5-Inch MMP II Bass Driver: The CP-CT260 is equipped with a 6.5-inch MMP II (Metal Matrix Polymer) bass driver. The MMP II cone material, crafted from a polymer with a metallic coating, provides an excellent balance between rigidity and weight. This allows the driver to deliver deep, controlled bass with minimal distortion, ensuring accurate low-frequency reproduction that enhances the overall listening experience.
1-Inch C-CAM Gold Dome Tweeter: The speaker also features a 1-inch C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminum Magnesium) gold dome tweeter, which is a hallmark of Monitor Audio's high-end designs. This tweeter is engineered to produce clear, detailed high frequencies, essential for creating an immersive audio environment. The C-CAM material is both lightweight and rigid, ensuring the tweeter can handle higher frequencies without flexing, resulting in accurate and detailed sound reproduction.
Controlled Performance Design
Integrated Back Box: A key feature of the CP-CT260 is its integrated back box, designed to control the speaker's acoustic output and prevent sound leakage into adjacent spaces. The back box not only contains the sound within the intended room but also ensures that the speaker's performance is consistent, regardless of the installation environment. This sealed design also protects the internal components from dust and debris, which can be a concern in ceiling installations.
Sealed Enclosure for Enhanced Bass: The integrated back box functions as a sealed enclosure, which enhances bass response by providing a controlled environment for the bass driver. This results in tighter, more accurate low frequencies that complement the detailed highs from the tweeter, ensuring a well-balanced sound signature.
Ease of Installation
Tri-Grip Fixing System: The CP-CT260 is designed with Monitor Audio's Tri-Grip fixing system, which simplifies installation and ensures a secure fit. This three-point fixing system spreads the load evenly across the ceiling surface, reducing the risk of damage to the ceiling material. The Tri-Grip system also creates a tight seal between the speaker and the ceiling, minimising unwanted vibrations and ensuring optimal acoustic performance.
Magnetic Grille: The speaker includes a magnetic, paintable grille that can be easily removed for maintenance or customisation. The magnetic design allows for a seamless installation process, while the paintable grille ensures that the speaker can blend discreetly into any ceiling, matching the room's décor and remaining unobtrusive.
High-Quality Audio Performance
Wide Frequency Response: The CP-CT260 offers a wide frequency response of 66Hz to 25kHz, enabling it to reproduce a full range of audio frequencies with clarity and precision. This wide range ensures that both the deep bass and the high treble are accurately rendered, making the speaker suitable for a variety of audio applications, including music, movies, and voice.
High Sensitivity: With a sensitivity rating of 88 dB, the CP-CT260 is capable of delivering powerful sound output even with moderate amplifier power. This high sensitivity makes the speaker versatile enough to be used in different setups, from simple two-channel systems to complex multi-speaker arrangements.
Nominal Impedance: The speaker has a nominal impedance of 6 ohms, allowing it to work effectively with a wide range of amplifiers. This impedance level strikes a balance between performance and compatibility, ensuring that the CP-CT260 can be easily integrated into most audio systems.
Versatile Applications
Home Theater Systems: The CP-CT260 is an ideal choice for in-ceiling speakers in home theater systems. Its dynamic bass response and crisp high-frequency reproduction make it perfect for creating a cinematic audio experience. Whether used as front, rear, or overhead channels, the CP-CT260 delivers an immersive sound that brings movies and music to life.
Multi-Room Audio: For multi-room audio systems, the CP-CT260 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 without disrupting the interior design, while its consistent audio performance ensures an even sound experience across different spaces.
Commercial Installations: The CP-CT260 is also well-suited for commercial environments, such as restaurants, hotels, and retail spaces. Its controlled performance design ensures that it delivers clear, consistent audio, regardless of the installation environment, while its slim profile keeps it unobtrusive and visually appealing.
