British High-Fidelity Architectural Sound Redefined
This small Tier 2 in-ceiling loudspeaker is designed to deliver pristine, engaging acoustics where high-performance sound is a key requirement. It is a two-way model featuring an RST II mid-bass driver and C-CAM tweeter. The performance benefit of having both within a single design means greatly improved clarity, wider dispersion into the listening environment, and clear, lifelike, high-fidelity sound—of the quality you’d expect from any Monitor Audio passive box loudspeaker. It has a cut-out dimension of 171 mm and uses the patented Quik-Link speaker cable connector, which revolutionises the ease and speed of speaker installation. Tri-Grip has also been evolved for simple, reliable, and strong fitment.
A Choice of Grilles offering Timeless Style
All Creator Series in-ceiling speakers come, as standard, with white grilles.
For those that want to ‘hide’ or ‘blend’ their integrated speakers with darker décor, black grilles are also available as an optional accessory in round and square designs.

Creator Series - In-Ceiling models
The in-ceiling loudspeaker sits at the heart of architectural sound; its ability to fill a room with wonderful sound while remaining virtually invisible delivers on the primary dream of a custom installation audio system. The Creator Series features small, medium and large in-ceiling models, allowing you to select the perfect array of speakers for your space.
Creator Series - In-Wall models
The in-wall loudspeaker is a versatile, high-performance tool that can add localised quality to any custom installation. The Creator Series in-wall models allow you to create areas of high-performance sound, most usually in a dedicated home cinema space, that rival that of stand-alone loudspeakers, while remaining virtually invisible.
Mount Boxes
The On-Ceiling and On-Wall Creator Series Mount Boxes allow simple delivery of audio in spaces where fully integrated, built-in solutions aren’t an option—delivering high-fidelity sound without restrictions.
Quik-Link
Our new innovative Quik-Link terminal revolutionises speed of installation. With Quik-Link you can make cable connections up the ladder at pre-installation stage. Once the installation is complete, the terminal, which is now connected with the speaker cables, magnetically snaps and locks into place on the rear of the speaker as you place the speaker into ceiling or wall. It’s that easy.
Tri Grip II
Tri-Grip II is a new dog-leg mechanism that is considerably stronger and more reliable than the previous generation, meaning both speaker placement and extraction could not be simpler.
RDT III
Rigid Diaphragm Technology III (RDT III) is a composite ‘sandwich’ structure made from ultra-thin low-mass skins, bonded to a honeycomb Nomex® core material. It is very light and very strong, meaning that it can respond with great speed without bending - just like a perfect piston.
MPD II
Tier 3 In-Wall speakers feature an MPD II high-frequency transducer, developed for the THX Certified Ultra Cinergy range. The precision specification of the Micro Pleated Diaphragm technology is designed to produce accurate, lifelike sound without any distortion.
