Essence® 6.5" 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 inter-
ference with obstructions within the ceiling space.

The Essence IC6 model provides a pair of 2-way in-ceiling speakers featuring 6-1/2 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 aluminum 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 150 Watts (program), with a wide frequency response from 45 Hz to 20 kHz
(±3 dB).
