Description
Download Manual The CI-SURRX is a 6.5in 2-way in-wall surround speaker designed to deliver immersive surround imaging in residential theater systems. It features a dual voice coil woofer and two pivoting tweeters for flexible dispersion control. The unit is engineered to operate in multiple surround modes to match room acoustics and listener position.
Key features include switchable Bipole/Dipole and Mono/Stereo operation, a dual voice coil 6.5in woven glass fiber woofer with NBR surround, and two 1in pivoting woven synthetic soft dome tweeters. The speaker includes a paintable white powder-coated galvanized steel micro-flange grille that minimizes visible flange while allowing aesthetic finishing. The design is weather resistant to permit installation in bathrooms and outdoor covered areas.
Performance specifications provide a frequency response of 45 Hz – 20 kHz and a sensitivity of 90 dB measured at 1W/1M. Nominal impedance is 8 Ohm and the 2-way Absolute Phase crossover ensures coherent phase response across the band. Recommended amplifier power range is 10 – 150 W to accommodate a variety of system designs.
The CI-SURRX supports combining its dual inputs for stereo operation or using the switch to set Bipole/Dipole dispersion for surround effects. The speaker’s weather resistant enclosure and grille make it suitable for humid environments such as bathrooms and poolside covered areas. A pre-construction bracket (RB-23) is available to simplify new construction installations.
This in-wall speaker is well suited for home theater surround channels where controlled dispersion and switchable polar patterns are required. It is also appropriate for multiroom or secondary listening areas where compact in-wall solutions are preferred. Outdoor covered or high-humidity locations can benefit from the weather resistant construction and corrosion-resistant grille.
Installation is straightforward with a mounting depth of 3.5in and a cutout dimension of 11.375in H x 7.375in W. External cabinet dimensions are 12.57in H x 8.63in W x 3.75in D and the unit ships at 6 lbs. The paintable micro-flange grille provides a low-profile aesthetic and can be color-matched on-site.
Overall, the CI-SURRX combines selectable radiation patterns, robust driver materials, and weather resistance in a compact in-wall format. Its wide frequency response and 90 dB sensitivity make it an effective option for surrounds driven by typical AV receivers. The switchable modes and optional pre-construction bracket add installation flexibility and system integration advantages.
