Monitor Audio AWC280 - All-Weather In-Ceiling Speaker - Piece
Developed using all C-CAM driver systems derived from their critically acclaimed hi-fi speakers, the AWC280 comprises a stylish two-way 8” C-CAM bass driver.
Excellent sound with all-weather capability
Planning a new in-ceiling audio system in non-traditional rooms of your home? Then consider Monitor Audio's AWC280 in-ceiling speaker — part of the company's all-weather "AW" series that lets you enjoy clear, full-range sound in areas that are exposed to the elements. Use this speaker for a neat-looking (and great-sounding) custom installation in your bathroom, on your porch, or in other areas where "regular" speakers aren't suitable.
High-tech drivers for better sound
One of Monitor Audio's hallmark technologies is their "C-CAM" driver material. It's a ceramic-coated aluminum/magnesium alloy originally developed by the aerospace industry for jet engine components. It's super lightweight and strong, which allows the drivers to respond very quickly and precisely for accurate sound.
The AWC280's 8" woofer and 1" dome tweeter are both made from this material. The tweeter is even treated with an anodized layer of gold for smooth, extended high-frequency response.
Tailor the sound to your space
The AWC280 features a rear-panel, three-position output level switch which lets you cut or boost high frequencies — a valuable adjustment if you have reflective surfaces like hardwood floors or windows, or absorptive surfaces like thick carpets or upholstered furniture.
