Key Features

• Innovative Angled Baffle: Seamlessly anchors movie dialogue and sound effects directly to the screen instead of overhead, creating a remarkably coherent, lifelike front soundstage.

• Integrated Sealed Back-Box: Built-in 0.36 cubic foot acoustic enclosure ensures perfectly consistent, predictable bass performance regardless of your ceiling's internal cavity space. It also blocks unwanted sound transfer to adjacent rooms.

• Imagine Series DNA: Utilizing the exact same driver materials found in PSB’s critically acclaimed freestanding Imagine monitors, ensuring perfect timbre matching for pristine high-end audio fidelity.

• Invisible Integration: Includes a premium, ultra-low-profile magnetic frameless grille with a fabric scrim. The grille is fully paintable to flawlessly blend with any ceiling decor.

Engineered for Serious Home Theater

Borrowing premium driver designs from PSB’s audiophile tower speakers, the C-LCR features dual 5.25" clay/ceramic-reinforced polypropylene woofers flanking a centralized 1" titanium dome tweeter. This powerful configuration handles deep dynamic sweeps with speed and control, preventing the midrange bloat and harsh high-frequency refraction that plague cheaper architectural options.

Pro Installer Tip: Because the cabinet is 7.75" deep to maximize its internal air volume for deep bass extension, always double-check your ceiling joist depth before ordering. Installation is a breeze courtesy of the heavy-duty steel and ABS dogleg clamping system.
