Small In-Ceiling Speaker
Monitor Audio Creator Series C1S
Monitor Audio’s entry-level range in the Creator Series, the C1, is a range of small, medium and large in-ceiling speakers which offer a solid, reliable performance at an affordable price point. The C1S offers a 5” driver with a 171mm cut-out dimension, perfect for smaller spaces.
Creator Series Tier 1 Range
Monitor Audio’s Creator Series has been designed to simplify their range with clearly defined performance levels. There are now three tiers of in-ceiling speakers in a good, better, best tiered system. The Tier 1 range speakers boast a two-way arrangement with a new C-CAM mid-bass driver and 1” C-CAM tweeter with Uniform Dispersion Waveguide I. This single design provides improved clarity, wider dispersion and clear, lifelike high-fidelity sound.
C1 S - Small in-ceiling speaker with 5” driver and 171mm cut out
C1 M - Medium in-ceiling speaker with 7” driver and 212mm cut out
C1 L - Large in-ceiling speaker with 9” driver and 248mm cut out
Tier 1 Technology Explained
The Tier 1 speakers feature C-CAM cones which are a big upgrade from the previous generation’s polypropylene cones, offering a significant audible performance increase. These strong, lightweight and extremely rigid C-CAM cones have a higher resistance to bending stress which results in a cleaner, clearer and more precise lifelike sound presentation.
All Creator Series in-ceiling tweeters use a Uniform Dispersion (UD) Waveguide. This offers reduced distortion meaning the speakers are more comfortable to listen to, go louder and have far greater sound dispersion.
A newly designed hexagonal grille offers both a unique aesthetic but also enhances performance, optimised to offer the least amount of interference.
C1S Simple Installation
Monitor Audio in-ceiling speakers have never been simpler to install. With a new Quik-link terminal, speed of installation has been revolutionised. With a magnetic, lockable connection, make cable connections pre-installation then snap everything into place once installed. The new Tri-Grip II offers a reliable, strong and secure fitment whilst a new dog-leg mechanism is considerably stronger and more reliable than the previous generation.
Monitor Audio Creator Series upgrades
The Monitor Audio Creator Series boasts three tiers, each building upon the previous with new features, technologies and increased acoustic performance.
Tier 2
Where enhanced performance is required, Tier 2 models boast the engineering qualities of the previous tier but offer an improved acoustic performance, stepping up to an RST II mid-bass driver and a C-CAM tweeter with UD Waveguide II. Tier 2 models also offer additional features to allow for more freedom in placement such as boundary compensation, high-frequency cut/boost and a dual-stereo T2X model.
Tier 3
Tier 3 offers the same engineering qualities of Tier 2 but steps up again in audio performance with models boasting a three-way speaker arrangement and stepping up to RST III bass drivers and IDC II coaxial mid/tweeter drivers with UD Waveguide II. Tier 3 speakers deliver an exceptionally loud soundstage, impressive depth, detail and bass alongside boundary correction, mid/high-frequency cut/boost and more. Tier 3 speakers are only available in Medium and Large sizes.
