PD-8Ci
The largest, most powerful In-Ceiling model in the PD Series of
custom loudspeakers, the PD-8Ci is capable of filling large spaces with richly detailed, natural
sound. Each PD-8Ci contains BG’s proprietary Neo3PDR planar ribbon tweeter that delivers an
extremely broad, well defined soundstage over the entire listening area.
To add to the tweeter’s stunning dispersion and resolution, the PD-8Ci features an innovative
woofer with high excursion capabilities and very low distortion. This high tech woofer design
makes use of compact Neodymium magnets to provide an acoustically transparent woofer
chassis which dramatically improves midrange clarity by eliminating sound reflections directly
behind the woofer. The superior Kevlar™ cone woofers used in the PD Series not only provide
lifelike two-channel clarity but are also capable of achieving the extreme dynamics associated
with high performance home theater applications.

As with the entire PD Series, the PD-8Ci is crafted from high impact, poly-composite frames that
are well suited for the entire home. Rugged, paintable surfaces are the perfect complement for
custom installations where there is zero tolerance for error and a maximum need for discrete
high fidelity.
Clean and clear with smooth, lifelike imaging. The PD-8Ci makes it not only possible, but
remarkably simple, to design and install these systems in viturally any high performance
In-Ceiling application.
