ICS 1030

A HI PERFORMANCE LCR THAT CAN STAND WITH THE BEST

TWO CHANNEL MONITORS

The left and right speaker in an audiophile two-channel system can uncannily recreate all the complexity, detail and space of a live performance, while the center channel speaker is regarded as the most important speaker in any multi-channel, surround system. LCR’s, are a multipurpose design for both of these critical applications. The ICS 1030 is a D’Appolito Array, designed by Snell chief engineer, Joe D’Appolito. As an Left & Right it can haunt you with preci- sion and soundstage, while as a Center it captures every whisper, every nuance. Together they set the tonal balance, called timbre, for the rest of the system. The ICS 1030 takes its drivers and crossover design of the acclaimed Snell LCR7 and integrates them into a utility, in-cabinet LCR. As such, it is designed to fit into furniture or millwork, and is tuned to compensate for the sonic problems that these cabinet bound- aries cause. The result is a speaker that perfectly matches the LCR7, and its two cousins the AMC 830 In-Wall and AMC 6030 In-Ceiling Monitor. Any combination of these four models can be mixed and matched to make a fully integrated

system that will work with any room décor.
