Know before you buy
Yes, the PRO-180RPC includes both round and square magnetic grilles. This allows you to choose the shape that best matches your room's aesthetic or existing architectural elements.
Yes, these are passive speakers and do not have a built-in amplifier. You will need to connect them to an external receiver or power amplifier to drive the audio.
The Tractrix horn-loaded design helps control sound dispersion, which minimizes reflections off your walls and ceiling. This results in a more direct, clear, and detailed sound, especially in the high frequencies.
Absolutely. With an 8-inch Cerametallic woofer and high sensitivity, these speakers are designed to deliver dynamic, powerful audio that holds up well in home theater setups, even during demanding action sequences.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the integrated locking mechanisms. Once you have cut the appropriate hole in your ceiling and run your speaker wire, the locks secure the unit firmly in place without requiring complex tools.
The speaker has a frequency response of 52Hz to 23kHz. While it provides solid bass performance for music, you may still want to add a dedicated subwoofer if you want to experience the deep, low-frequency impact required for a full-scale cinematic home theater experience.
