Product Description
The UIW RCS II in-ceiling speaker produces phenomenally rich and immersive sound while it disappears above, virtually hidden in your ceiling. It’s technology that took decades to perfect, but will only take you milliseconds to appreciate.
The new UIW RCS II is a significant addition to Definitive’s Reference Architectural Series of loudspeakers which are designed to bring the performance of the finest free-standing speakers into custom flush mount in-wall and in-ceiling installations. The Reference Ceiling Speaker (RCS II) is intended for use as an in-ceiling front main left, center or right channel speaker, as well as a rear or side surround speaker in custom installed home theater systems of the highest quality. In addition it can be used as a superb left or right speaker in a high quality stereo music system.
Like our other Reference Architectural Series speakers (IWSub 10/10, IWSub Reference, RLS II, RLS III and RSS II), the RCS II is a totally non-resonant sealed medite enclosure, which in this case, easily and attractively installs flush into the ceiling in either new or existing construction. It features a D’Appolito driver array angled down and aimed at the listening area (two 5.25″ cast-basket bass/midrange drivers and a 1″ pure aluminum tweeter) as well as two 6.5″ pressurecoupled planar low bass radiators. The precisely configured dual angled baffles incorporate a uniquely effective acoustic treatment which combines a computer optimized ribbed surface with special dampening panels in order to achieve a linear uncolored sound
combined with boxless three-dimensional imaging in which acoustic events seem to effortlessly float in space. In fact, the overall sonic performance of the RCS II is truly remarkable, combining breathtaking dynamics, engrossing musical subtlety and amazingly spacious imaging that totally belies its in-ceiling configuration.
In addition, the RCS II, with its active driver/bass radiator combination achieves extended low frequency response, which is deep and dynamic with a smooth and controlled roll-off that allows it to seamlessly blend with a subwoofer with a quality that has never been previously achieved in an in-ceiling system. Of course, our in-wall UIW Sub 10/10 or UIW Sub Reference are a perfect complement to the RCS II for unmatched performance in a stealth home theater.
