The Reference Line Source III (RLS III) is an enclosed full range loudspeaker engineered for flush mount in-wall installation. It features a non-resonant sealed medite (a dense wood product) enclosure to deliver the tight, detailed bass and uncolored midrange of audiophile free-standing speakers in every installation. The performance of open back built-in speakers will vary depending on the nature of the wall/ceiling cavity behind the speaker. But Definitive Reference speakers with integrated enclosures sound superb every time. Rotating dogleg clamps make the RLS III easy to install in either new or existing construction and provide secure, non-resonant mounting for ultimate audiophile performance free of vibrations and buzzes.
The enclosure houses a line source array composed of two high definition bass/mid drivers with cast baskets for natural midrange, surrounding a pure aluminum dome tweeter for silky smooth high frequency response, plus two pressure-driven Low Bass radiators for deep powerful low frequency extension.
Use the RLS III as a main Left, Right, Center or Surround Loudspeaker in a "stealth" high performance home theater or multichannel music system. The RLS III is capable of extraordinary sonic performance, comparable to that of even the finest freestanding loudspeakers, yet it remains hidden within your walls and takes up no floor space! Add a Definitive Technology subwoofer, such as one of our IWSubs, for the addition of even more high impact perfectly blended deep bass response.
