Description

A value-packed in-ceiling speaker from Revel

The Revel C283 might be the company’s least expensive 8″ in-ceiling speaker, but it shares some of the same technologies as Revel’s higher-end speakers. Its integrated tweeter waveguide provides great sound for listeners directly under the speaker, as well as those positioned off to the side. And its high-order crossover network allows the 8″ woofer and 1″ tweeter to blend together seamlessly.

The Revel C283 in-ceiling speaker features an integrated tweeter waveguide, which provides excellent on- and off-axis listening performance.

Space-saving long-term performance

Looking for clear, natural sound without the bulk of a traditional box speaker? The C283 is a great choice for a stealthy stereo system, or as an overhead effects channel of a surround sound system. A lifetime warranty ensures excellent long-term performance.
