Cinema Series
CINEMA 8, CINEMA 6 AND CINEMA PRO FLAGSHIP SPEAKERS
The Cinema 8, Cinema 6 and Cinema Pro in-wall / on-wall speakers, features a uniquely compact high-output design delivering reference level surround sound dynamics to medium and large size rooms. The proprietary high transfer crossover optimizes three premium drive units consisting of a single 4×4 compression horn flanked by dual 8” carbon drivers (Cinema 8), dual 6.5″ carbon drivers (Cinema 6), and dual 8″ + dual 6.5″ carbon drivers (Cinema Pro). Simply put, the Cinema Series line of speakers produce a uniform sound intensity with superior intelligibility, silky smooth multi-axis response, and a wide (60-degree) listening window from the seated position.
With a reference sensitivity of 96dB and 95 dB (Cinema 6), the easy-to-drive reactive impedance optimizes its use with mid to high-end receivers and/or amplifiers. This unit comes fully back boxed, made of MDF, to ensure that whatever is in your wall has zero effect on its performance.
Don’t have 2×6 construction? No problem. Our SLIM modification allows the speaker to fit into 2×4 construction using a partial in-wall mounting system. The speaker has a 3/4″ collar that goes around the outside of the speaker. This allows the speaker to mount into standard 2×4 construction leaving only a 1.5″ deep finished profile on the wall. Now you have the performance of a cinema grade speaker in an ultra thin form factor that looks like a small acoustic panel floating on the wall.
The Cinema 8, Cinema 6 and Cinema Pro is the ultimate solution for delivering high-impact cinematic sound in an ultra-streamlined form factor.
Choose from a wide variety of standard and custom finishes, grille fabrics, and formats.

What the experts are saying:
Jeff Meier

“For an in-wall speaker probably the best I’ve heard. They are right up there with JBL Synthesis. Simply an amazing product!”
Gerry Lamay
Founder - Home Acoustics Alliance (HAA)
“In a world of luxury priced products Next Level’s Reference Cinema Speakers offer an affordable high-performance alternative. A great product!”
Chris Mata

“The best kept secret for Reference home theaters”
Travis Ballstadt

“I was looking for a big cinema sound, but our theater room doesn’t have a lot of floor space to spare. Finding in-wall or on-wall speakers that perform at this level and this price point is not easy, but the Reference Cinema Series have far exceeded my expectations. The dynamics and power of the Reference Cinemas is what you expect to hear from large, boxy MTM speakers costing much more and requiring more space. They’re efficient enough that I’m able to cleanly drive them well past my comfortable listening level, so you don’t need to spend thousands on high-power amplification.”
Far Field
This graph shows the semi-far field output at 1 meter on axis with a 5ms time window to eliminate reflections. The results demonstrate a uniform response within 2 dB from 300 Hz center line up to 16 kHz indicating an even energy distribution. Above 16 kHz, the measurement mic is down 2 dB for an averaged +(-) 2 dB to 20 kHz.
Step Response
The step response shows a clean upward transition to a right triangle indicating an extremely smooth transition path from the horn tweeter to the dual 8″ mid-bass units. This implies that all 3 drivers are fully in sync capable of generating a frontal wave launch with extremely high output and efficiency.
Near Field
This graph shows the in room, free standing, near field energy with an open time window for maximum frequency resolution, without any boundary reinforcement. The results of our measurements demonstrate an overall smooth response with extraordinarily low distortion less than 1% to 80 Hz.
