Know before you buy
The AL-MAC tweeter uses a specialized aluminum-magnesium-ceramic composite for rigidity, paired with a Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA) lens. This combination blocks out-of-phase frequencies to ensure the high-end audio remains accurate and realistic rather than harsh.
Yes, the CI Pro P80 V2 features a shallow enclosure design specifically engineered for easy installation in standard wall depths, making it a versatile choice for most residential wall constructions.
The shock-mount system physically isolates the speaker driver from the wall structure. By minimizing vibrations and resonance that would otherwise travel through the drywall, it ensures the sound remains clean and unaltered.
Active Ridge Technology (ART) allows the woofer cone to move further than traditional surrounds. This increased excursion results in higher output and deeper bass without the distortion typically associated with pushing a speaker to its limits.
Absolutely. With their CARBON-X cones for smooth frequency response and high-excursion capabilities, these speakers are designed to handle the dynamic range and clarity required for demanding home theater applications.
