JBL SoundPoint SP6C 2-Way 6.5-Inch In-Ceiling Loudspeakers, Pair (Off-White) description
A good option for listeners who prefer their stereo equipment to be heard but not seen, this pair of two-way 80-watt speakers installs conveniently in the ceiling, where they deliver a clear, full-bodied sound. Each speaker's mounting cutout measures 7.88 inches in diameter and sits 4.25 inches deep--an unobtrusive size that easily holds the speaker's 6.5-inch titanium-laminate cone woofer and 1-inch dome tweeter. The units are ideal for use as main speakers in your living room or secondary speakers in an adjacent room (when connected to the main receiver), or even as home theater surround speakers (rear left/right) when watching movies or listening to five-channel audio sources. Listeners will appreciate the 40 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response--which handles bass frequencies with ease--along with the white faceplate that blends easily into most ceiling surfaces (users can also paint the faceplate to match different-colored ceilings). In addition, the tweeters are located on swiveling mounts, so users can customize their angle to maximize the audio performance. The speakers are relatively easy to install using a Philips screwdriver, utility knife, tape measure, and carpenter's level. However, it's difficult to move or reposition them once the cutout is made, so users are advised to take their time when determining the ideal listening location. The set also includes integrated dog-ear brackets for retrofit applications and a template/paint shield that can be used to make the initial cutout or protect the speakers when applying a new color. The speaker terminals accommodate up to 16-gauge speaker cable (not included), which JBL recommends for distances below 20 feet. The company advises using 12-gauge wires for speakers located between 20 and 30 feet from the receiver, and 10-gauge cable for distances above 30 feet. It's the audio that impresses most, however. The speakers deliver rich, powerful sound that fills up a room. Whether your priority is to spread music throughout the house or make your home theater speakers disappear from sight, JBL's SoundPoint speakers get the job done.
