Up 3 is a discreet, passive, 3” ceiling speaker delivering consistent coverage and crisp, clear sound to a wide range of cost conscious, commercial environments from hotels and concourses to retail outlets, bars and restaurants.

An integral fixing system is included to achieve a simple and clean installation.  Up 3 has a perforated steel grille and is finished in neutral white.

The Pendant 1 and Grille 1 accessories offer further flexibility in installation and applications, allowing you to either elegantly suspend Up 3 speakers as stylish pendants or achieve a sleek, bezel-less grille appearance. These accessories are available in both black and white, helping to blend into any architectural environment.

Up 3 features a 3” (78mm) driver which is ideal for both background music and speech reproduction. A conical 130° coverage pattern delivers consistent sound where it needs to go.

Each Up 3 can be run on a series of 70 or 100 Volt taps or at low impedance. Tap selection is via a rotary switch behind the removable grille.

A SmartAmp or powered Zone will provide amplification, optimal sound performance and loudspeaker protection via presets. When teamed with Zone and WebApp, system set up and end user control is effortless, and can be further augmented by ZonePad wall controllers.
