High-Performance Audio

A Full Loudspeaker In Your Ceiling

UIW RCS III in-ceiling speakers reach new heights of sound reproduction, with deep, dynamic low-frequency response and smooth, controlled rolloff for seamless blending with subwoofers.

Wave Launch™ Technology for a theater-like presentation

UIW Reference Series loudspeakers are fully enclosed and sealed with dense, acoustically inert, anti-resonant, anti-vibration Medite® wood. With the RCS III, you’ll hear loud, accurate, uncolored midrange and tight, powerful bass with no buzzing or sound leakage into walls and ceilings.

Reference-quality Drivers & Radiators Flagship Loudspeaker Performance

Ultimate In-Wall series speakers are designed with the same driver technologies as our flagship floorstanding speakers, enabling freestanding speaker-level performance from within your ceiling and walls.

The RCS III aluminum dome tweeter delivers a clear, precise high frequency response. Their ultralight, rigid construction enables them to play significantly higher frequencies than we can hear, providing effortless, distortion-free highs within and beyond the audible range.

Most in-wall speakers lack the larger driver area of floor standing speakers. The RCS III's two 4.5" midrange/woofer drivers match butyl rubber surrounds with rigid polypropylene cones in cast baskets to provide a much greater cone excursion than other comparably-sized drivers. The result is superior midrange and bass performance, wrapped in a compact, stealthy package.

Each RCS III includes twin 5.25" passive bass radiators. Passive radiators create more bass than comparably sized sealed or ported designs. The extra surface area moves more air, resulting in bigger and deeper low end that works beautifully on its own or mates seamlessly with subwoofers at a variety of crossover points.

Installation Flexibility

Ready for Any Room

Whether new or existing construction, walls or ceilings, residential or commercial, UIW Reference Series loudspeakers feature simple, secure installations. From metal pivoting lock arms to paintable grilles and frames to fully sealed enclosures, Definitive Technology engineers designed speakers that put installation simplicity on equal footing with sound quality.
