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.
