AT HOME IN HOLLYWOOD
Welcome to the world of PMC. We make the speakers that
make the movies.
The new Custom Install (ci) series from PMC brings all the magic
of the movies to the home. Since 1991, when the company was
founded, we have been the speaker brand used to create
the biggest Hollywood movie soundtracks, from Titanic to
Skyfall and Iron Man to Spiderman, and have been awarded
®
an Emmy
To recreate the awe-inspiring realism and stunning dynamics
of a blockbuster movie in the home, there is no better
choice of loudspeaker than those used to make the movies
themselves.
The ci series has been designed from the ground up,
incorporating proprietary PMC technologies from our multi-
award-winning audiophile speakers and studio monitors, to
create the ultimate in slimline, high-performance on-wall and
in-wall ci loudspeakers.
for our contribution to recording excellence.

The ci series are ideal for playback of stereo and immersive
formats, and the largest models provide the greatest
headroom, bass and dynamics. All models apart from the
ci140 and ci140sub may be mounted in- or on-wall, thanks to
™
their Qikre
ttings, bezel-less grille and stylish cabinet sleeve.
The ci30 is the smallest of the range, perfect for in-ceiling,
in-wall or on-wall mounting. It out-performs speakers
twice its size, making it ideal for surround channels,
®
Dolby Atmos
and stereo in smaller rooms.
The ci45 is suited to larger spaces; it has all the
speed and attack of the ci30, and produces greater
image depth, bass extension and dynamism.
™
With a second LT
(long-throw) bass driver, the ci65 creates
more slam and presence, with more headroom and bass
extension. It’s ideal for use as a surround speaker in medium-
to-large theatres.
The ci90slim offers the same performance as the ci30 and ci45
in a long, slim cabinet. It is the retrot option, tting between
standard studwork.
These models are simply converted from in-wall to on-wall
by adding an optional sleeve and wall-mounting bracket,
as demonstrated by the ci30 above.

The ci140 is the ultimate in on-wall home theatre loudspeaker
X™
design. With a complement of four 130mm (5.25”) LT
long-throw woofers, the Laminair-enhanced Advanced
Transmission Line, a 50mm (2”) soft-dome mid-range unit
and a 27mm (1.1”) tweeter from PMC’s professional studio
monitors, it presents an audio soundstage as big as the movie
you’re watching. Powerful bass, ultra-clear mids and exquisite
highs all combine to put you right in the heart of the action,
with all the detail and nuances the director imagined brought
to life by this sublime speaker. For added depth and power,
the identically sized ci140sub, provides high-denition low-
frequency information.
The ci140 is complemented by the dedicated and identically
sized ci140sub, for the apex in on-wall home theatre
performance. Employing the same four bass drive units used
in the ci140 and operating with the ATL , the sub reproduces
additional low-frequency energy, perfect for home theatre
installations and full-frequency music reproduction in high-
end home audio and professional studio situations.
VOCAL REALISM LIKE NO OTHER
PMC’s larger professional speakers are renowned for their
mid-range dome drivers, which deliver critical detail and
realism in the vocal and instrumental range. The three-way
ci140 is the only model in the new ci series to feature a mid-
range driver, which was custom-made for this agship. The
™
all-new 50mm (2”) dome features n-compass
new dispersion ange geometry for a at-frequency response
and phenomenal off-axis performance. This makes the driver
ideal for horizontal or vertical placement, as in a cinema LCR
system, providing an identical immersive audio experience
from all listening positions. The wide audio picture created by
the mid-range unit provides unrivalled vocal and instrumental
clarity and realism, keeping the dialogue distinct from the
score for the “real” movie experience.

HIGH-FIDELITY HIGHS
The professionally proven tweeter derives from PMC’s studio
neareld monitors. The ferrouid-cooled neodymium magnet,
with built-in heatsink, allows for reliable, consistent high-
power handling, and the 27mm soft dome is mounted within
a custom waveguide and dispersion grille that integrates
perfectly with the mid-range unit and produces a consistent
off-axis response, delivering incredibly realistic high-frequency
reproduction no matter where you are in your listening room.
The HF driver is offset to eliminate edge reections and work
optimally whether your speaker is mounted horizontally or
vertically.
UNMATCHED CLARITY AND POWER
The new LT™ and LTx™ bass drivers in the ci series have been
designed for use with the Advanced Transmission Line (ATL )
bass-loading technology found in all PMC speakers (see
overleaf). Both feature 130mm (5.25”) natural-bre dished
cones and inverted dust caps to reduce unwanted high-
frequency reections from the cone surface, and in both
drivers, the high-power voice coil, in a ferrite magnet, is
mounted in a low-prole basket to t into the shallow cabinets.

NO ESCAPE FROM PERFORMANCE
All ci series cabinets are enclosed at the rear, ensuring that sound leakage to
adjoining rooms is kept to an absolute minimum. Unlike inferior open-back speaker
designs, it is not necessary to rely on the cavity construction of the wall to enhance
the sound; the ci series cabinets, with their dened volume and robust construction,
have everything they need to deliver awesome cinematic sound at all listening
levels.

PERFECT DRIVER INTEGRATION
Advanced design ensures that the ci series listening
experience is truly immersive and all-enveloping from
every listening position, and the tweeter and mid-range
drivers are perfectly integrated at the crossover point.
The crossover is an essential precision component of any
multi-driver loudspeaker, dividing the incoming amplied
signal into the frequencies best suited to each of the
drivers. The role of the crossover is more crucial than ever
in the ci140, as the audio from the amplier has to be
correctly routed to the treble, mid-range and bass drivers.
The two- and three-way crossovers in the ci series are wholly
new designs, incorporating PMC’s custom-wound inductors
and hand-matched components for greater accuracy and
lower distortion.

dedicated home theatre.

Qikre
The speed of the Qikre™ in-wall mounting system makes the
entire range very “installer-friendly”. The ci30, ci45, ci90slim and
ci65 are tted with Qikre, a spring-loaded mounting system
which allows the loudspeaker to be xed in position with a
simple twist of a screwdriver and permits post-installation
micro-adjustment. Removal, is just as easy as installation, with
a twist.

WALL MOUNTING
On-wall mounting is just as straightforward as in-wall mounting,
using the supplied interlocking bracket, which is designed to
also offer pin-point level adjustment. An optional mounting
sleeve may be tted around the cabinets to conceal the
in-wall mounting system creating an elegant and discrete
on-wall loudspeaker. A precision-perforated, bezel-less front
grille, which is afxed magnetically, adds the nal stylish touch.
