SL Evolve 1
The Evolve 1 shares many characteristics with the other models in the Artcoustic range. Maintaining Artcoustic’s clean contemporary design, the Evolve 1 has been designed and engineered for a wide range of applications, suited for most indoor spaces, where premium sound quality and flexibility are required.
The Evolve 1 speaker can be expanded as a dual array speaker for higher sound pressure levels and further controlled horizontal and vertical dispersion, typically needed for more commercial applications.
The Evolve 1 is an impressive-sounding semi full-range speaker solution, packed with high-end finesse and an impressive dynamic range, all from a very small and aesthetic form factor.
The Evolve 1 has been designed to match the same tonality as the rest of the Artcoustic range and will especially excel in conjunction with the Artcoustic CPH-Trio amplifier, but can also be used with any other high-quality power source.

About SL Series
The SL Series has been subjected to several years of intensive testing and fine-tuning to deliver a truly unique and groundbreaking loudspeaker range. The challenge was to create a loudspeaker capable of the dynamics and power of a horn-loaded design, but with the accuracy and quality of a HiFi design. The solution was to employ an array of world-class drive units to provide incredible efficiency, output and accuracy, whilst also staying true to Artcoustic’s signature design ethos.
Invisible Integration. Signature Artcoustic Performance.
The Mikro Ci is Artcoustic’s ultra-compact in-wall loudspeaker designed for projects where seamless architectural integration and high-performance sound are equally essential. Developed to disappear visually into the interior environment, the Mikro Ci delivers the same refined sonic character, vocal clarity and dynamic musical presentation as the on-wall SL Mikro — while offering an even more discreet installation solution.
Engineered for premium residential and commercial spaces, the Mikro Ci is ideally suited for hospitality environments, luxury retail, wellness spaces, boardrooms, galleries and contemporary interiors where clean architectural lines are paramount. Its minimalist in-wall design allows architects, interior designers and system integrators to create elegant spaces without visible loudspeakers dominating the environment.
Despite its compact dimensions, the Mikro Ci delivers impressive musicality, clarity and dynamic capability, maintaining the energetic and engaging performance expected from Artcoustic loudspeakers. The platform also retains the scalability of the Mikro concept, allowing multiple loudspeakers to be combined in vertical array configurations to increase output, improve sensitivity and enhance acoustic control while preserving wide and consistent horizontal dispersion.
The result is a discreet yet highly capable loudspeaker solution that combines architectural invisibility with the signature Artcoustic listening experience.
Mikro Ci have been designed to integrate seamlessly with Artcoustic subwoofer solutions, enabling scalable systems ranging from compact lifestyle setups to powerful cinema and commercial installations, where also elegant aesthetics and high-performance audio are essential.
Small Speaker. Big Sound.
Mikro is Artcoustic’s ultra-compact on-wall loudspeaker designed for premium residential and commercial environments where elegant integration and high-performance audio are equally important. Developed with Artcoustic’s signature minimalist design language, the Mikro delivers exceptional vocal clarity, musicality and dynamic headroom from a remarkably slim architectural form factor.
Ideal for hospitality and retail environments including hotels, restaurants, bars, wellness spaces, boardrooms, galleries and boutiques, the Mikro combines discreet aesthetics with a refined and engaging sonic presentation. Its low-profile enclosure integrates naturally into contemporary interiors while maintaining the energetic and immersive sound performance expected from Artcoustic.
A defining feature of the Mikro platform is its scalability. Each loudspeaker can operate individually for elegant low-visibility installations or be vertically arrayed in configurations of up to three loudspeakers. By combining multiple Mikro loudspeakers in an array, system designers can increase output, improve sensitivity and achieve greater vertical pattern control while preserving wide and consistent horizontal coverage.
Mikro have been designed to integrate seamlessly with Artcoustic subwoofer solutions, enabling scalable systems ranging from compact lifestyle setups to powerful cinema and commercial installations, where also elegant aesthetics and high-performance audio are essential.
The result is a flexible loudspeaker solution capable of delivering controlled, high-quality sound across a wide range of applications — from intimate listening environments to demanding commercial installations.
Contemporary Design. Total Versatility.
The SL Evolve 1 IP66 is the weatherproof evolution of Artcoustic’s Evolve 1 loudspeaker. Maintaining the same refined, minimalist design and tonal accuracy, it extends Artcoustic’s signature sound performance into outdoor and demanding environments—from patios and poolside areas to marine decks, spas, and humid interior spaces.
Engineered for both residential and commercial applications, the SL Evolve 1 IP66 delivers semi full-range performance with impressive dynamics, clarity, and precision from an ultra-slim enclosure. The fully sealed cabinet is crafted from a durable solid surface composite material and finished to ensure reliable, year-round operation in challenging conditions.
For larger spaces or higher SPL requirements, the SL Evolve 1 IP66 can be configured as a dual-array, offering increased output and refined dispersion control—ideal for architectural, hospitality, and outdoor installations where both performance and aesthetics are critical.

Two Way Precision Monitor
The SL C-1 Soundbar is primarily designed to suit smaller systems, as a discrete centre channel, mounted horizontally beneath a flat screen TV. It is equally suited to be mounted vertically for left and right, as well as rear channels in home cinemas.
Artcoustic pioneered the first concept of an all-in-one LCR (left, centre and right) soundbar as far back as 1997. The SL version is an evolution of this classic loudspeaker and is available in four standard versions, with the option to go bespoke. All feature clean, discrete aesthetics with high output timbre-matched performance.
A purpose-built centre channel with wide dispersion, high SPL and full custom finishes
At the heart of the C-4-1 Soundbar is a sophisticated five-driver array: four 3" long-throw midrange units flank a 2" high-definition ring-radiator tweeter. This layout delivers excellent speech intelligibility with pinpoint vocal accuracy and minimal distortion, even at elevated listening levels. High-frequency performance is notably extended, with response up to 40 kHz and a sensitivity around 98 dB (1W/1m, ±2 dB), giving you clean output and effortless dynamics from a slim enclosure.
While conceived as a compact centre for home cinema, the C-4-1 is equally comfortable beyond the theatre. Rotate it vertically and it becomes a refined on-wall loudspeaker for media rooms and living spaces—ideal wherever the brief demands both performance and a discreet footprint.
Stereo or Mono Soundbar
Our iconic LCR Soundbar is also available in a single source mono or a dual source stereo version - the SL C-2/Stereo Soundbar - making it ideal for use as a powerful wide dispersion centre channel, or as a high-end stereo setup. It is designed to be run from a zone of Crestron, Control 4, AMX, Elan G etc. for high quality multi-room performance with the same discrete aesthetics.

Architectural Performance Beyond the Cinema
Sharing the same acoustic platform as the Spitfire Cloud, the new SL Architect 4-2 MKII brings identical engineering principles to a broader range of architectural audio applications.
Developed for premium residential and commercial environments, this in-ceiling loudspeaker combines high sensitivity, controlled dispersion and exceptional clarity within an elegant, low-profile in-ceiling design.
Its controlled coverage ensures even sound distribution while reducing unwanted room interaction, resulting in excellent speech intelligibility and remarkably consistent tonal balance throughout the listening area.
The SL Architect 4-2 MKII is ideally suited for:
• Open-plan residential interiors
• Multi-room living environments
• Hospitality projects
• Restaurants, lounges, and retail spaces
• Contemporary architectural and interior design schemes
Its shallow installation depth also makes it particularly valuable for renovation projects and buildings where ceiling void space is limited.
