Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing this high performance Monitor Audio CP Series loudspeaker.
This is no ordinary architectural speaker. Monitor Audio has taken great care to apply its award-winning
loudspeaker technologies to create a hi -fidelity design, which promises exceptional sound quality and reliability.
CP stands for ‘Controlled Performance’. Each CP In-Ceiling or In-Wall product is fitted with its own rigid
enclosure to make sure the sound is always the same, wherever it is fitted.
For all In-Ceiling and In-Wall applications, you can rely on the elevated standards of build quality and
performance that have earned Monitor Audio’s Bronze, Silver and Gold loudspeaker ranges acclaim from
professionals around the world.
In designing the Bronze, Silver and Gold CP In-Ceiling and In-Wall speakers, Monitor Audio offers three levels of
performance for a wide range of applications and budgets, but promises market-leading reliability and value in
each case.
Speaker Location
We strongly recommend that these speakers be installed professionally so that positioning and fine -tuning can be
successfully undertaken using sound measuring equipment, cou pled with room layout experience and technical
knowledge.
Your CP series In-Ceiling and In-Wall loudspeakers installed in your home theatre can be used as surround
speakers in conjunction with freestanding speakers. If you are unsure about where to locate your surround
speakers for optimum performance, please contact your Monitor Audio Dealer for advice.
When mounting your speakers in the ceiling, locate the speakers 0.6-2m (2 to 6 feet) behind your listening
position. The speakers should be installed 2 to 3m (6 to 10 feet) apart centre to centre.

Gold CP Features
this manual are in
Gold CP In-Ceiling speakers utilise our C-CAM® (Ceramic Coated Aluminium Magnesium alloy) cone, featuring
Rigid Surface Technology (RST®). Impressions on the cone’s surface are designed to eliminate bending,
increase stiffness and lower mass when compared with conventional cone driver designs. The result is a much
faster response, offering music reproduction that is closer to the original performance. A rigid die-cast metal
chassis design features a vented rear section and provides extremely low distortion with typically higher output
levels.
Additional high frequency and mid-range frequency controls allow the user to set-up the system precisely to
obtain optimum performance within the listening environment. This inherent flexibility makes the Gold CP In-
Ceiling speaker suitable for a wider range of demanding applications than that offered by its competitors. It
promises a truly ‘high-end’ performance from a custom fit, discreetly installed speaker system.
Silver CP Features
Our C-CAM® (Ceramic Coated Aluminium Magnesium alloy) cone profiles and rubber surrounds maximise the
potential of the driver mechanism. The new surrounds allow greater cone excursions with lower distortion and
improved frequency response linearity. The flush cone edge provides a very smooth response and a natural,
accurate sound. The Silver CP pivoting (In-Ceiling only) tweeter is based on Monitor Audio’s famous 25mm gold
C-CAM® dome. Improvements to the surround and motor system have extended the frequency response to
30kHz, so that it is ready to exploit new wide bandwidth digital audio formats such as SACD and DVD-A.
An additional high frequency cont rol offers a fine-tuning option to allow the user to set -up the system precisely
and obtain optimum performance within the listening environment. This additional flexibility makes the Silver CP
In-Ceiling and In-Wall speakers suitable for a wider range of demanding residential and commercial applications.
Bronze CP Features
The Bronze drive unit, (MMP® Mk2) offers an advanced driver technology developed from Monitor Audio’s
original Metal Matrix Polymer cone material and uses a high-pressure injection moulding process to achieve
different thickness at critical points in the cone geometry. MMP® Mk2 provides better stiffness and consistency
and tighter production tolerances resulting in superior sonic performance. The new bass-mid chassis design has
a vented rear section that reduces thermal power compression to deliver increased dynamic range and higher
sound pressure levels. This venting also lowers distortion by balancing the pressure within the voice-coil motor
system. It means clean, crisp bass and an even clearer mid-range performance.
High frequency performance has been improved by the evolution of the C-CAM® tweeter. The new tweeter
utilises a pivoting action (In-Ceiling only) to provide optimum imaging and flexible set -up options. The bespoke
crossover uses high-grade polypropylene film capacitors, and low distortion inductors

WARNINGS:
• A minimum depth of 190mm (7½ Inches) is required for the back box to fit into recess.
• The fixing clamps require a minimum of 25mm (1 Inch) of surface area around the cutout hole to ensure
a secure fixing!
• The fixing clamps will operate on ceilings with a minimum thickness of 9mm (3/8 Inches) to a maximum
depth of 32mm (1¼ Inches).
• Do not attempt to fix these speakers to your ceiling if you are unsure of your ability to provide a secure

Procedure
1. Use template to locate position of cut out. Fig 1. The adhesive backing allows for repositioning a number
of times.
2. Draw round diameter to define the perimeter of the cut out - 250mm ( 9 7/8 inches )
3. Remove template and cut hole.
4. Locate speaker cable and connect by pushing the terminals in and releasing to clamp the cables as
shown below Fig 2.
5. Fit back box into prepared hole and tighten fixing clamps. These will move outwards on tightening! DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN! Once contact is made 2-3 turns are all that is required.
6. Fit front Baffle if previously removed and check for sound quality before fitting the grille.
