About the Monitor Audio CP-CT150
High-performance sound for your custom-installed system
High-performance sound for your custom-installed system
Monitor Audio's Controlled Performance in-ceiling lineup starts with the compact CP-CT150. One of our favorite features of this series is the back-box that's built onto each model: a carefully designed enclosure on the back that helps it deliver consistently focused, well-balanced sound. This 5" 2-way speaker is sized to fit in smaller rooms, and you can count on it to give you good results no matter what kind of space is behind it in your ceiling.
Aim the tweeter toward your favorite listening spot
The CP-CT150's tweeter is made of a high-tech ceramic-coated aluminum/magnesium alloy — a fantastic material for speakers, because it's so lightweight and rigid. The tweeter is further treated with an anodized layer of gold for ideal stiffness and damping characteristics. Plus, it pivots, so you can aim it toward your preferred listening spot for more direct sound. Solid, accurate mids and bass come courtesy of a 5" polymer woofer.

Features
Two-Way Speaker Design: The Monitor Audio Controlled Performance series CP-CT150 in-ceiling speaker features a two-way driver design with a 1" C-CAM gold dome pivoting tweeter and a 4" MMP II midrange/midbass woofer.
- C-CAM Gold-Dome Tweeter: The gold dome tweeter is formed from a ceramic-coated aluminum/magnesium alloy, gold anodized to a specific thickness for ideal stiffness and damping characteristics. Its new profile and surround geometry have been developed using advanced modeling tools, to provide the optimum qualities for accurate sound reproduction. The new design moves the first order of breakup to beyond 35kHz, producing a linear response way beyond audibility, which matches the wide frequency bandwidth available from HD music and cinema sound formats. The gold dome is thinner, lighter, more rigid and therefore more efficient than domes made from other materials which are prone to distortion in the audio band.
- MMP II Midrange/Midbass Woofer: The Metal Matrix Polymer (MMP II) driver cone has a polypropylene base loaded with metallic particles to offer a rigid and responsive structure. They are manufactured using a sophisticated high-pressure injection process, which modulates cone thickness at critical points to optimise stiffness and consistency, resulting in a superior sonic performance.
Tweeter Control: The 1" C-CAM tweeter is able to pivot (+/-15°) to direct the sound to your desired listening area. A tweeter level adjustment (+3/0/-3 dB) also aids in high frequency performance.
Sealed Design: The Monitor Audio CP-CT150's airtight enclosure design protects each precision-engineered driver system against the accumulation of damaging dirt and dust.
Trimless Grille: The CP-CT150 in-ceiling speaker features a "Trimless" steel-mesh grille that is held in place by high strength Neodymium magnets covering the entire speaker for a true trimless, stealth look. The grille is paintable to blend with the living environment; additional scrim material is provided for trouble free painting.
Tri-Grip Fixing System: Monitor Audio's innovative Tri-Grip fixing system is easier to install than conventional clamping schemes but provides three times the surface area and a better surface seal, maximizing bass response and midrange clarity. The Tri-Grip fixings are made from a tough re-enforced polymer, giving a secure installation.
Spring-Post Terminals: The Monitor Audio CP-CT150 is fitted with two spring-post terminals to connect your speaker wire. The spring-post terminals which accept bare wire (up to 10AWG) and angled pin-connectors.
