Ultimate performance 2-way in-ceiling speakers —
designed by Crestron® to please the most ardent
listener and the most demanding interior designer —
with thoughtful features that simplify installation.
Essence® 8" 2-Way In-Ceiling Speakers
The Essence line promises the ultimate in installed audio design, delivering simply stunning sound
quality while minimizing any impact on your décor thanks to paintable zero-bezel grilles. Both round
and square grilles are included. Streamlined installation of each speaker is facilitated through a three-
point, spring-loaded toggle clamp mounting system optimized to minimize interference with obstructions
within the ceiling space.
The Essence IC8 model provides a pair of 2-way in-ceiling speakers featuring 8 inch long-throw woven
Kevlar® woofers for deep, defined low end, and large 1.1 inch advanced synthetic polymer dome tweeters
for crisp, fluent highs, articulate midrange, and consistent coverage across a wider listening area. Cast alum-
inum woofer baskets assure pure, uncolored bass response. Offset post-mounting of the tweeters reduces
midrange frequency response anomalies normally caused by interference between the woofer and the back
of the tweeter. Precision 4th order crossovers utilizing the highest quality components ensure a full, rich and
detailed response across the spectrum. Power handling is an impressive 175 Watts (program), with a wide
frequency response from 38 Hz to 20 kHz (±3 dB).
