Aspire® 5.25" 2-Way In-Ceiling Speakers
The Aspire line strikes a perfect balance between performance and price, delivering pristine,
impactful sound quality, with minimal impact on your décor thanks to paintable zero-bezel
grilles. Round shaped grilles are included, while square grilles are available as an option sep-
arately. 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 Aspire IC5 model provides a pair of 2-way in-ceiling speakers featuring 5-1/4 inch woven
poly-glass composite woofers for rich, impactful low end, and 1 inch advanced synthetic polymer
dome tweeters for crisp, soaring highs. Offset post-mounting of the tweeters reduces midrange
frequency response anomalies normally caused by interference between the woofer and the back
of the tweeter. Precisely tuned 4th order crossovers ensure a full, warm and detailed response across
the spectrum. Power handling is an impressive 100 Watts (program), with a wide frequency response
from 55 Hz to 20 kHz (±3 dB).
