Know before you buy
Yes, the P4-C80 features a three-position tweeter level switch (+3dB, 0dB, -3dB) that allows you to fine-tune the high-frequency output to better suit the acoustics of your room.
Absolutely. Because the tweeter can pivot 360 degrees, you can aim the high frequencies directly toward your primary listening area, which significantly improves imaging and clarity compared to fixed-position in-ceiling speakers.
With a shallow mounting depth of just 3-1/2 inches, these speakers are designed to fit into most standard ceiling joist configurations without requiring specialized construction.
Yes, the magnetic grilles are fully paintable. You can easily spray or roll them to match your ceiling's finish, allowing the speakers to blend in discreetly with your room's decor.
No, the P4-C80 utilizes a tool-free installation system. Once you have cut the required 10-1/4 inch hole, the mounting mechanism secures the speaker firmly into place by hand.
The 8-inch MSP woofer provides a more substantial low-end response, reaching down to 42Hz. This allows for a fuller, more authoritative sound profile that often eliminates the need for a subwoofer in smaller or secondary listening zones.
