Elevate the audio experience in any commercial setting with this meticulously designed 6.5" ceiling speaker. Engineered with precision, this speaker boasts a robust polypropylene cone with a rubber surround to produce deep, resonating bass.

Boasting a broad frequency response range of 60Hz-22kHz, this speaker guarantees that every nuance and detail is captured, be it in announcements, background music, or any other auditory requirement. With a power handling capability of 100W, it can effortlessly cater to larger spaces without any distortion. Its sensitivity rating of 88 dB 1w/1m ensures that sound is uniformly distributed, maintaining clarity at every corner.
A standout feature is its adaptability for 70V commercial audio systems, with wattage taps at 30W, 15W, 7.5W, or the standard 8 Ohms. This ensures versatile integration possibilities tailored for different commercial requirements.
How Does this Speaker Mount in the Ceiling?
Customers often ask us if they need special installation mounting brackets on their OSD ceiling speakers. The answer is no and here’s why. All our in-ceiling speakers feature a dog leg (L-shaped) mounting system that is part of the frame. Before you install the speakers, remove the grille and you’ll see several the mounting screws near the front frame. These screws need to be loosened to activate the dog leg clamps. Use a screwdriver to loosen (turn to the left) these screws and the clamp will come loose. When the speaker is in position in the ceiling, tighten (turn to the right) the screw and the speaker will be secured to the ceiling.
What Type of Speaker Wire and What Gauge?
Wiring is not included with in-ceiling speakers so you will have to purchase some. We recommend our OSD Audio CL3/FT4 cable that is UL (fire) rated for in-wall and outdoor speaker installs. This type of cable includes a heavy-duty outer jacket approved for in-wall/in-ceiling installation. The high-quality plastic jacket is also very flexible so it's easy to run the wires inside the wall. As for the gauge, for runs up to 100 feet for background music, 16-gauge will be fine. If the run is approaching or exceeding 100 feet, we suggest 14-gauge wire.
What Is Butyl Rubber Surround?
With almost double the shelf life of foam, butyl rubber has been the choice of speaker designers looking to optimize the sound based upon materials that go together. The Surround is just one of the integral parts of the speaker's motor structure. Butyl Rubber gives the speaker more excursion capability featuring a deeper bass with a wider frequency response, and its shelf life is closer to 25 years compared to the foam at 12 to 15 years.
For a retrofit installation, no construction bracket is needed.
