Know before you buy
Yes, the included bezel-free grille is designed to be paintable. You can easily finish it to match your ceiling for a completely discreet, invisible look.
The angled baffle allows you to aim the drivers directly toward your primary seating area. This ensures that high frequencies reach your ears clearly, rather than bouncing off the floor or walls, which is essential for an immersive home theater setup.
While these speakers offer a solid frequency response down to 55Hz, they are best suited for midrange and high-frequency duties. For a full-range cinematic experience with deep, impactful bass, we recommend pairing them with a dedicated powered subwoofer.
These speakers have an 8-ohm impedance and a sensitivity of 89 dB, making them compatible with most standard home theater receivers. They handle up to 80 watts of RMS power, so a mid-range receiver will provide plenty of headroom for clean, dynamic sound.
The IC6-HT requires a mounting depth of 4.95 inches. Before cutting your ceiling, ensure you have sufficient space in your joist cavity to accommodate this depth and the necessary wiring.
These speakers are designed for standard indoor residential use. They are not moisture-rated, so we do not recommend installing them in bathrooms, saunas, or outdoor areas where they may be exposed to high humidity or water.
