With the ACE670 LCR In-Ceiling Angled Speakers, you'll get visuals and staging that would be lost with regular in-ceiling speakers. Features include a rugged 6.5” carbon fiber woofer set at a 15° angle, 1” aluminum dome tweeter, and 90W power handling. You can even use them for front, rear and side Dolby Atmos® surround sound in a 5.1 or 7.2 system. Contour switches also let you tailor the bass and rebel to your preference.
What are the benefits of an angled ceiling speaker?
The angled speaker is a true problem solver because not every space is ideal for custom home theater sound applications. The angled ceiling speaker features a 15° angle for the mid-bass driver plus a pivoting tweeter for placement flexibility. This speaker can be part of a three-piece set to drive the front stage of your surround sound system when both in-wall and in-wall are not a favorable option. Angled design allows for ideal ceiling placement closer to the wall, just above the monitor. This creates a more realistic sound image compared to regular in-ceiling speakers that are mounted directly above the viewing area. Standard in-ceiling speakers are typically placed at least three feet from the wall to prevent reflective sound. The corner speaker can be placed one foot from the wall.
No-frills design is a nice touch
Architectural Ceiling Element (ACE) slim frame, rimless in-wall and in-ceiling speakers are an excellent choice for new construction or remodels. These built-in speakers are barely noticeable; that is until they are playing. Microflange grilles are attached by extremely powerful magnets that stay in place for quick and easy installation. Adds less visual impact to your audio architectural installation.
What is wraparound butyl rubber?
With nearly twice the lifespan of foam, butyl rubber has been the choice of speaker designers seeking to optimize sound based on the materials they combine. Surround sound is just one of the integral parts of the loudspeaker motor structure. Butyl rubber gives the speaker greater excursion ability with deeper bass with a wider frequency response, and its life is closer to 25 years compared to foam's 12-15 years.
Do I have to buy a special cable for ceiling speakers?
Wiring is not included with in-ceiling speakers, so you'll need to purchase some. We recommend our OSD Audio CL3/FT4 cable which is UL (fire) rated for in-wall and outdoor speaker installations. This type of cable includes a rugged outer jacket that is approved for in-wall/ceiling installation. The high-quality plastic cover is also very flexible, making it easy to route cables inside the wall. As far as gauge, for runs up to 100 feet for background music, 16 gauge will be fine. If run is approaching or exceeding 100 feet, we suggest 14 gauge wire...PZA More Features
