About Definitive Technology UIW RCS III

UIW RCS III Reference In-Ceiling Loudspeaker - Loudspeaker Audio From Above
The in-ceiling UIW RCS III literally reshapes sound waves to make you feel like you're sitting front-row center.

• Front-Row Audio Experience: Sound comes to life with patented Wave Launch technology
• Clear, Dynamic Highs: From a 1" pure aluminum dome tweeter
• Sturdy Performance: Dense wood enclosure reduces vibration for uncolored clarity

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 roll off 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.

Tweeters - 1" Aluminum Dome Tweeter
The RCSIII 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.

Dynamic Midrange/Woofer
Most in-wall speakers lack the larger driver area of floor standing speakers. The RCSIII'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.

Passive Bass Radiators
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.

Fully Enclosed for powerful sound where you want it
UIW Reference Series loudspeakers are fully enclosed and sealed with dense, acoustically inert, anti-resonant, anti-vibration Medite wood. With the RCSIII, you'll hear loud, accurate, uncolored midrange and tight, powerful bass with no buzzing or sound leakage into walls and ceilings.
