Designed for Big Sound & Consistent Performance
Looking for a reliable in-ceiling speaker for your custom-installed home audio system? We can recommend Monitor Audio's Controlled Performance Series CP-CT380 as a safe bet. What makes it especially safe is its built-in back-box: a compact enclosure on the back side of the speaker that hides out of sight and helps it deliver consistently focused, well-balanced sound. With normal open-back in-ceiling speakers, the space that's behind them can affect their tonal characteristics, and not always in a good way. By taking the guesswork out of the equation, Monitor Audio ensures that when you install a Controlled Performance speaker in your ceiling, you'll want to keep it there.
Substantial Bass for an 8" Woofer
Solid, accurate bass comes courtesy of a sizeable 8" woofer. Its cone is made from the same carefully engineered alloy material as the tweeter. And to further improve its accuracy, Monitor Audio designed it with a dimpled surface that makes it even stronger and lighter. This driver, along with a die-cast aluminum front baffle, treats you to musical, well-defined bass.
