Elegant & Natural

The APart CMRQ108C is an elegant and very natural sounding in-wall/in-ceiling speaker,

predestined to be used as a home theatre center speaker, but also usefull as hifi speaker in other

applications. Easy to integrate in high-end audio chains, cinema surround systems or even high
quality BGM systems, this speaker offers a soundstage, unheard in this price range.

Due to the narrow visible mounting fl ange and paintable detachable steel grilles, the speakers

can be integrated very discretely in even the most demanding environments, in your living room,

connected to your multiroom system, hifi or cinema surround audio system….

Turn your living room walls into a wall of sound, at the highest possible hifi standards, exactly

there where you feel at home.

CMRQ108C has two 5.3’ bass-mid speaker units with a DuPont® Kevlar cone and a low loss

rubber surround. This guarantees highest possible defi nition and lowest sound coloration. High

frequencies are covered by a 1 inch silk dome tweeter, carefully matched and tuned to deliver an
amazing and detailed sound, without the harshness commonly found in cheap metal alloy domes.
The treble contour can be adjusted in 3 steps to suit your personal preferences.

CMRQ108C impedance is 8 ohms. Mounting is easy and straightforward. The speaker clamps
accept wall thickness of 0 to 28 mm. By using our optional in-wall mounting frame, you can install
the speaker even in solid brick walls. Speaker cables are securely clamped in the gold plated
cable connectors, accepting thick speaker cables up to 6 mm².

The CMRQ speakers are not magnetically shielded, this is not necessary unless you install them
close to a CRT screen. Flatscreens, the ideal partners for the CMRQ speakers, are insensitive

to magnetic fi elds. Instead we have invested in solid gold plated speaker wire terminals, a

carefully tuned crossover with high quality components, solid steel speaker grille and of course
top notch quality drivers. You will hear the difference ! Ideally, you should position the speaker(s)

Recommended applications

Recommended minimum installation volume: 7 liters. By using our optional in wall speaker
frame/cabinet, the optimum cabinet volume is guaranteed, however, there is no upper volume
limit. When the speaker is installed in a space with hard materials, such as bricks or concrete,
additional cavity damping may be required. Suitable materials are mineral insulation materials,

such as rockwool, or BAF (bonded acetate fi bre). Hard foam materials such as polystyrene and
other polyfoams are not suitable. Make sure the damping materials used meet all fi re and building

regulations and requirements. Check that there are no obstacles such as electrical tubes, wires or
other pipes behind the speaker. Make sure the area behind the speaker is free of dust and small
particles, such as small stones. In cases of doubt, protect the rear of the speaker with a small
amount of BAF wadding.

To make grille removal easier, a special grille removal tool is supplied with the speakers. Insert the
tool end in a grille hole located at the corner of the speaker and gently pull the grille out. Repeat
this step on all corners until the grille is entirely free. Do not attemt to pull out the grille by pulling
one side of the grille only, this may cause damage to the grille or the frame. Keep the tool at hand
in case you need to remove the grille.

Speaker positioning

Mounting instructions

horizontally, on ear level or above, with the tweeter on top. When you need to position the
speakers below the listening position, mount the speaker with the tweeter positioned in the lower

position. Avoid the presence of wall corners, because these will augment refl ections and low

frequencies, causing an unstable stereo image and boomy bass.

If possible, mount the speaker(s) in the middle of your fl atscreen TV. For hifi setups, mount the

speakers between ½ and 2/3 of total wall height, for walls up to 3 meters height, and stay at least
50 cm clear of adjacent walls and the ceiling.

The treble contour can be adjusted in 3 steps to suit your personal
preferences.
