The PMC ci45 is part of the PMC Custom Install (ci) series, designed for in-wall, in-ceiling, or on-wall mounting in larger spaces. It delivers the speed and attack of the smaller ci30 model while offering greater image depth, bass extension, and dynamism. Ideal for stereo and immersive audio formats, it uses PMC's proprietary Advanced Transmission Line (ATL™) bass-loading technology for realistic sound reproduction. The Qikfire™ spring-loaded mounting system enables easy installation and removal with a simple screwdriver twist. On-wall mounting is supported via an interlocking bracket with precise adjustment, and optional sleeves in black or white create a discreet appearance. PMC speakers have been used in creating hit music and Hollywood soundtracks like Titanic and Skyfall, earning an Emmy for recording excellence.
