Developed primarily to complement the Monitor Audio CF230 speaker system, it fits into ceiling and wall cavities, or under floors, and is suited to basements, new-build projects and any space with sufficient joist depth and spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20cm long-throw driver with C-CAM cone technology delivers punchy, tuneful bass from 40Hz to 120Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngled driver within a rigid MDF enclosure reduces overall box height without sacrificing output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivers the performance of a 20cm subwoofer from a compact 10cm grille opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound and square flush-fit grille options match the visual style of the CF230 for a coordinated system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaintable white grille allows the finish to blend seamlessly with the ceiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ICS-8 is a pre-construction install, fitted using a CFB3-R (round) or CFB3-SQ (square) pre-construction bracket, sold separately. The bracket is mounted first to allow the 120mm cut-out hole to be cut; once the plasterboard is fitted, the tube is secured to the d-ring, with the integral 'mud bank' and plastering shield allowing skimming up to the bracket edge for a precise, clean finish once sanded back. Box dimensions are 396 x 280 x 235mm, with vent dimensions of 427mm (long) x 75mm (diameter), so adequate void depth and joist spacing are essential. As a passive subwoofer with an 8 ohm nominal impedance, the ICS-8 requires its own amplifier channel (such as an IA-series installation amplifier) fed via a low-pass filter set at 120Hz, 12-24dB\/octave. It can be paired with up to eight CF230 speakers on a single mono subwoofer channel to create a complete, unobtrusive system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response (-6dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40Hz - 120Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensitivity (1W@1m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum SPL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e107dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Handling (RMS)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150W (full range - IEC268-5 rating)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossover Recommendation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow pass filter at 120Hz, 12-24dB\/Octave\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Amplifier Requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrive Unit Complement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm long throw bass driver, C-CAM cone technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCut-Out Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBox Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e396 x 280 x 235mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVent Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e427mm (long) x 75mm (diameter)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSprung push type terminals - gold plated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCabinet Construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15mm MDF construction, vinyl laminate surface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\/Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack cabinet, white paintable grille\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.2kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-Construction Bracket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCFB3-R (round) or CFB3-SQ (square), sold separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Monitor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Single","offer_id":55494590660947,"sku":"ICS8","price":725.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1115\/1323\/9891\/files\/monitor-audio-ics-8-8-inch-in-ceiling-subwoofer-1-subwoofer.jpg?v=1792328918","url":"https:\/\/www.ceiling-speakers.co\/products\/monitor-audio-ics-8-8-inch-in-ceiling-subwoofer","provider":"Ceiling Speaker Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
