Kevlar woofer cones hold their shape even at very high energy levels, which lets you play the system louder without distortion. The 1" aluminum dome tweeter pivots, so you can aim it toward the listening area for clearer, more detailed highs from anywhere in the ceiling.

Frequency response is 35Hz - 20kHz, sensitivity is 88 dB and each speaker handles 175W. With an 8-ohm load, the ACE850 works with standard stereo amplifiers, AV receivers and multi-zone systems. Gold-plated 5-way binding posts give a secure, corrosion-resistant connection.

The trimless design uses a micro-flange grille held on by strong magnets, for quick installation and minimal visual impact. The grilles are spray paintable to match any decor.

To install, cut a 9.37" hole, wire the speaker, set it in place and tighten the front screws to lock the built-in dog-ear brackets against the ceiling. Each speaker measures 10.79" in diameter with 4.41" of mounting depth.
