What’s New in CS Series v.3?
Bezel free aesthetic
delivers invisibility!
Great sound, but out
of sight which is exactly
the point of custom!

CS Series’ high-quality driver components make an audible difference
Superior PTD™ Pure-Titanium Tweeter Domes. Ferro-uid damped and cooled to ensure
smooth high-frequency performance with amazing clarity across a wide listening area.
Superior Mineral-Filled Polypropylene Bass/Midrange Cones. Oversized computeroptimized ferrite magnets and high-power motor structures deliver detailed midrange
performance with clean, extended bass. Even movie dialog is incredibly clean and clear.
Deeply recessed pocketed
screw holes in the flange
help hold the drill steady.
making the installer’s job
so much easier and faster.
A slight slope in the
baffle’s flange prevents
unsightly gaps around
the install for an even
better aesthetic!
High-strength magnets
hold grilles securely
in place in the wall or
ceiling.
No masking required
—this makes the
grilles faster and
easier to paint, if
painting is desired

Now! New bezel-free aesthetic
Two unique alternatives for great sound in challenging situations
Want rich, pure fidelity sound from a single speaker? Choose the CS-60R-SM
• Two PTD™ Pure-Titanium High-Frequency Domes offset at 30° angles
• Dual Voice-Coil Mineral-Filled Polypropylene Bass/Midrange Cone
Our CS-60R-SM (stereo/mono) speaker is a solo performer. It offers rich pure-fidelity dual-channel L/R sound
from a single speaker. Its Dual-Directional Soundfield
for use in small rooms less suited to a stereo pair (Fig. 1), or where a single speaker is preferred. In larger spaces,
using multiple “SM” speakers eliminates the sound imbalances that occur with separate stereo speakers as
people move around, or are seated closer to one speaker than the other (Fig. 2). Also ideal for use as surround
and/or rear speakers (Fig. 3).
Want sound flooding into a very specific area of a room? Choose the CS-60R-30
The CS-60R-30’s Guided Soundfield™ system allows you to guide a wide arc of sound toward a very specific area
of the room, much the same way we guide a floodlight to fill an area with light. Drivers sit at a 30° angle from the
ceiling allowing you to adjust the direction of sound (Fig. 4), without compromising the crucial sound dispersion
pattern engineered between drivers, or the interaction between drivers and baffle. Sonic integrity is preserved.
Two CS-60R-30’s (or four!) are also ideal as surround/rear speakers. Guiding the sound towards the sides and/or
the rear of the room ensures an enveloping surround sound experience (Fig. 5).
™
provides wider-than-normal dispersion making it ideal

Redesigned! Easy-access binding posts.
Our latest high-quality binding posts feature a larger wire
access hole and connect via banana plug, pin or bare wire.
Same great sound. Faster, easier installation!
Our New High-Strength ABS Chassis and Clamp System addresses
the exibility problem that plagues all walls and ceilings. ABS stiness
combats unwanted resonances and vibrations and equally important,
the new clamp design makes the installer’s job easier and faster! Simply
push the speaker into the ceiling or wall and screw it in … YES! It really
is that simple (see illustrations below).
A behind-the-ceiling look at how our new ABS clamps work!
Without any unnecessary pressure or force, each turn of the screwdriver turns the clamp. We show the starting point, we show the screwdriver
working to turn the clamp, and nally, we show the speaker locked into place inside the wall or ceiling. It doesn’t get simpler or easier!
