Overview
Mounting into a ceiling or wall, the pair grips with a large clamp with non-slip tread. A blue polypropylene mica cone woofer and swivel tweeter share one coaxial axis, and the grille is paintable.
The reason to buy is an easy upgrade that hides speakers in a room, with a tweeter that can be aimed and a back cover that guards the parts from dust and moisture. The limit is the odd listing data, including Ethernet fields on a passive speaker.
Who it's for
A room with a receiver and a ceiling that can take the cutout suits it, and the installation is described as simple enough to do yourself. Skip it for bathrooms with no cover or any outdoor use, and for smartphone-only listening.
Pros and cons
- Swivel tweeter for aiming
- Magnetic paintable grille
- Sealed back cover
- Pair in one order
- Ethernet fields are wrong
- Waterproof fields conflict
- Cutout size not listed
- Needs an external amplifier
Performance notes
The coaxial arrangement puts the tweeter in front of the woofer, and the swivel lets you aim high frequencies toward the seats. A ridge-shaped aluminum center cap with a stepped surround smooths mid and high peaks. A receiver or amplifier supplies the power.
