Monitor Audio C265-IDC In-Ceiling Speaker (Single)
With the built-in flexibility to handle almost anything, the Monitor Audio C265-IDCs are the perfect choice for your home movie or music system. Don’t compromise on sound or style when planning for your room.
Inverted Dual Concentric Design
A unique, pivotable midrange and tweeter module offers up to 18 degrees of play, to allow for discreet positioning of the speakers whilst still directing sound towards the listener.
This 3-way speaker design best disperses audio evenly throughout your room to make sure you get the best audio experience wherever you’re sat.
Compensation Switches
Optimum performance can be achieved even after set-up, using the compensation switches on the C265-IDC. High-frequency level can be adjusted by +3dB/ -3dB or can be set flat.
Additionally, boundary compensation can be toggled on or off which will aid in removing any bass boom.
To access these compensation switches, you’ll just need to remove the magnetic grille and you’ll be able to adjust these settings manually.
Detailed Sound with C-CAM
Housing a 6.5” C-CAM bass driver, 4” C-CAM RST inverted midrange driver and 1” Gold Dome Tweeter, the Monitor Audio C265-IDC is well placed to offer a detailed and rich sound performance for both music and TV use.
Coupled with the C265-IDC’s true 3-way design, these powerful drivers are given the best position to offer rich midrange detail, a higher system output, greater power handling along with superior vocal intelligibility and sound localisation.
Quick and Easy Installation
The Monitor Audio C265-IDC is simple to install with built-in binding posts as part of Monitor Audio’s innovative Tri-Grip system. It also has a magnetic grille which clips on easily. The Monitor Audio C265-IDCs are designed to be used as part of a stereo pair.

Cut-out diameter - 211mm (8.31 inches)
Mounting depth - 150mm (5.91 inches)
