The signature Tractrix horn technology delivers outstanding clarity and wide sound dispersion, creating an immersive surround experience ideal for home theaters.

Know before you buy
Yes, the SlimTrim magnetic grille is designed to be paintable. You can easily match it to your wall color for a discreet, seamless look.
To install the R-5650-S II, you will need a wall cutout measuring 13 inches in height by 8 inches in width.
This model is specifically engineered as a surround sound speaker. Its Wide Dispersion Surround Technology is optimized to create an immersive, enveloping soundstage rather than acting as a dedicated front or center channel.
You need a minimum mounting depth of 3.75 inches to properly house the speaker within your wall.
The speaker is compatible with standard 8-ohm systems. It handles up to 50 watts RMS, so ensure your amplifier or receiver can comfortably power it within that range.
The dual Tractrix Horn design helps control sound dispersion and reduces distortion. This results in clearer, more detailed high frequencies that fill the room more effectively than standard dome tweeters.
