‘A’ model

The C3L-A is a new and invaluable addition to the Creator Series. ‘A’ stands for ‘Angle’, and the speaker features a fixed-angle IDC II for focused sound, ideal for in-ceiling LCR placement. The fixed-positioned 25 degrees of angle ensures that the linearity of the speaker isn’t compromised and provides impressively wide dispersion into the listening area. Boundary EQ

All the Creator Series in-ceiling models perform exceptionally well in a variety of locations, including when close to secondary walls. However, as you move up through the tiers, the models feature enhanced technologies such as boundary correction and high and mid-frequency cut/boost that allows them to be placed in trickier locations such as corners. Because sound performance shouldn’t be compromised by placement.

Tri-Grip II

Tri-Grip II is a new dog-leg mechanism that is considerably stronger and more reliable than the previous generation, meaning both speaker placement and extraction could not be simpler.

Quik-Link

Our new innovative Quik-Link terminal revolutionises speed of installation. With Quik-Link you can make cable connections up the ladder at pre-installation stage. Once the installation is complete, the terminal, which is now connected with the speaker cables, magnetically snaps and locks into place on the rear of the speaker as you place the speaker into ceiling or wall. It’s that easy.
