Controlled Performance (CP)

Controlled Performance (CP) models are fitted with a fully sealed back box that provides an ideal air load for the drivers, optimising mid-range and bass performance while maintaining sonic consistency regardless of interior wall construction. These rigid, mineral filled enclosures reduce the sound from the back of the cabinet by around 30dB. This range guarantees excellent audio quality and versatility, and offers superior sound isolation between rooms and floors.

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."
