With the Ceterra 50R, Hamburg-based INKLANG offers a more compact entry into its handcrafted Ceterra line. The Inklang Ceterra 50R is a passive three-way floorstanding speaker that sits below the larger Ceterra 70R, and it is aimed at listeners who want reference-class performance in a slimmer cabinet for medium-sized living rooms. As with all INKLANG speakers, the Ceterra 50R can be ordered in a wide range of colours and finishes.
Inklang Ceterra 50R: a phase-optimised three-way design
INKLANG describes the Ceterra 50R as a phase-optimised three-way design built around Scandinavian drivers. A 19 mm ring radiator tweeter with a patented phase plug handles the high frequencies, a 120 mm midrange covers the vocal range and two 160 mm woofers with phase plugs and titanium voice coil formers take care of the bass. The crossover splits the signal at 340 Hz and 3,000 Hz with 18 dB slopes.
The cabinet is a bass reflex design with a rear port. It is made from HDF with walls up to 38 mm thick, which helps keep cabinet resonances under control. At 171 mm wide (257 mm including the base plate), 1,120 mm high and 402 mm deep, the Ceterra 50R keeps a slim front profile. Each speaker weighs 29.8 kg.
Frequency response, sensitivity and amplification
INKLANG specifies a frequency response of 35 Hz to 40 kHz (−10 dB). Sensitivity is a modest 82 dB (1 W/1 m), with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms and a minimum of 3.6 ohms. That makes the Inklang Ceterra 50R a speaker that rewards a capable amplifier: INKLANG recommends at least 50 W, and the speaker can handle up to 300 W. Bi-amping is possible through gold-plated terminals that accept cables up to 8 mm², 5–6 mm bananas and spades.
INKLANG recommends the Ceterra 50R for rooms of 15 to 40 m², placed freestanding at least 15 cm from the wall. German magazine AudioTest wrote in its 08/2026 issue that the Ceterra 50R brings the qualities of a reference speaker into a more compact, living-room-friendly design. Readers comparing German floorstanders at a higher price point can also look at the Backes&Müller Prime12.
Ten colours and endless options
Personalisation is a big part of the INKLANG concept. The Ceterra 50R comes in ten standard body colours, from Diamond White and Toolanga Black to Peera Lake green and Uluru Red, in matt, silk-matt or glossy finishes. Customers can also choose any RAL, NCS, Little Greene or Caparol Icons colour. The rear panel can match the cabinet or be finished in black matte or glossy carbon, the base plate and feet come in silver or black, and four colours of fabric speaker covers are available.
Pricing and availability
The Inklang Ceterra 50R costs €4,950 per speaker, including VAT. Custom colour options start at €170, a glossy carbon rear panel adds €350 and speaker covers cost €120 each. INKLANG sells direct, with a lead time of three to four weeks, a 30-day free return period and a five-year warranty. The speaker can be configured and ordered on the INKLANG website.
