The Klipsch Designer Series DS-180CSM In-Ceiling Speaker (Each) delivers rich, full-spectrum stereo sound from a single architectural speaker location. Designed with an expansive 8-inch dual voice coil polypropylene woofer and twin 0.75-inch silk dome tweeters, this high-output single-chassis stereo speaker provides deeper bass response and greater coverage across larger rooms—such as master suites, open kitchens, covered patios, and large hallways—while utilizing Klipsch's patent-pending SkyHook® toolless installation system.
Key Features & Innovations
Single-chassis stereo sound performance — the Klipsch Designer Series DS-180CSM In-Ceiling Speaker (Each) processes both left and right audio channels simultaneously, filling entire spaces with balanced stereo playback from a single ceiling cutout.
Large 8-inch Polypropylene Dual Voice Coil Woofer — high-excursion 8-inch woofer uses dual voice coils to sum left and right bass frequencies, producing impressive low-end extension and mid-bass punch.
Dual 0.75-inch Silk Dome Tweeters — twin high-frequency drivers mated to custom Tractrix® horns project smooth, articulate treble with wide dispersion across larger living areas.
Patent-pending SkyHook® toolless installation system — mounting legs automatically engage and cinch flush against drywall upon insertion into the cutout, cutting setup time by up to 75% without power tools.
Magnetic paintable bezel-free steel grille — sleek, ultra-thin magnetic grille completely hides the mounting frame and accepts paint effortlessly for a flush, invisible architectural look.
FAQ — DS-180CSM
How does the DS-180CSM differ from the DS-160CSM?
The Klipsch Designer Series DS-180CSM In-Ceiling Speaker (Each) features a larger 8-inch dual voice coil woofer (compared to the 6.5-inch woofer on the DS-160CSM), providing deeper low-frequency performance and higher overall output suited for larger rooms.
How do I wire a single-stereo speaker to my amplifier?
The rear terminal plate includes two separate sets of input terminals (Left + / - and Right + / -). You simply connect both Left and Right channel speaker wires coming from your receiver or multi-zone amplifier directly to the speaker.
Where is a single-chassis stereo speaker ideal?
It is perfect for medium-to-large areas where installing a pair of speakers is impractical or aesthetically undesirable, such as master bathrooms, large kitchens, corridors, or covered outdoor patios.
Can the front grille be painted?
Yes. The bezel-free magnetic steel grille is fully paintable using spray paint or a light roller to blend seamlessly into your ceiling color.
