The Klipsch DS-180CDT is an 8" in-ceiling speaker from the Designer Series line.

With an 8" Polypropylene woofer and a 1" Silk Dome tweeter mated to a round Tractrix® horn, the DS-180CDT brings dynamic, powerful, detailed Klipsch sound to your distributed audio, home theater, or 2-channel system.
Key Features
- Horn-Loaded Performance
The DS-180CDT features a 1" (25.4mm) Silk Dome Tweeter mated to a round Tractrix® Horn and an 8" (203.2mm) Polypropylene Woofer, delivering horn-loaded performance with a 100° coverage angle.
- Controlled Dispersion Technology™
CDT technology allows for the tweeter and the woofer to be aimed up to 15°, helping to ensure on-axis frequency response at almost any listening position.
- Sky Hook® Cinch Installation System
This exclusive installation system engages the dog legs automatically when the speaker is inserted into the cutout hole, applying a preset clamping force that eliminates the possibility of overtorquing. When dealing with an uneven space, a 1/4 turn of each dog-leg screw achieves a more even, flush finish. This fast, easy installation system reduces installation time by up to 75%.
- Bezel-Free Magnetic Grille
A completely redesigned powder-coated magnetic steel grille eliminates the bezel for seamless, pristine integration into the living space.
