Information Sheet

When partnering with others in the range try the Ci130DS as the perfect companion for creating a high performance built-in home theatre.

A2-way, 3 driver, flush-mount dipole loudspeaker, it can be mounted in the walls or ceiling allowing far greater flexibility in positioning than any of the competition. Housed in the enclosure to ensure optimum performance regardless of the volume of cavity placement, the pair of

mid/HF units are angled 80° apart - to obtain a dipolar radiation pattern - with the bass unit firing on-axis to the listening position. The driver configuration is set into a moulded baffle with smooth contours to improve dispersion. With its unique properties such as switchable bipole/dipole radiation pattern the Ci130DS makes a versatile partner with others in the range such as the Ci200.2QT.

Features and Benefits:

Ci130DS combines 60W power handling and 88dB sensitivity for a maximum output of 106dB.

The 3-driver configuration has a mounting depth of just 88mm (31⁄2”).

Best suited to high quality Music Surround and Home Theatre applications, for all the usual surround sound (including digital) formats.

The stainless steel bezel and grille can be painted or covered by fabric to match the interior décor.
