Description
The CSS230 is a brilliantly innovative back-box design with an
impressively shallow 50mm (2”) mounting depth, custom built to offer hi-fi
levels of performance in spaces where no high quality speaker has gone before.
Between
2” stud frames or where pipework or cabling reduces mounting depth,
the hybrid back-box construction and proprietary full-range driver array
combine to deliver consistent audio quality with exceptional installation
versatility.
The
hybrid back-box provides the best of all worlds for installer and
customer. Combined, the three proprietary 3” mid-bass units achieve
the bass output of a 61/2” driver, all from a super-stealthy flush-fitted
profile.
In
keeping with Monitor Audio’s renowned design rigour, the crossover
comprises high quality film capacitors and low loss inductors - selected for
signal integrity - ensuring peerless audio detail and dynamics from a speaker
of its size and application. When the CSS230 is in ‘ported’ mode, a fine gauze
protects the acoustic system from dust ingress.
