Monitor Audio Creator CSS230 – Ultra-Compact Slim Ceiling Speaker for Discreet Integration
The Monitor Audio Creator CSS230 is a particularly flat in-ceiling speaker, specially developed for installations with limited mounting depth.

Designed for challenging installation situations
The CSS230 enables high-quality audio installations even where conventional in-ceiling speakers cannot be accommodated.
Typical applications include:
- suspended ceilings with shallow depth
- hallways and small rooms
- multi-room systems
- discreet background music
Compact driver architecture
Despite its very flat design, the speaker uses high-quality Monitor Audio driver technology, ensuring clear and balanced reproduction.
