Amazon.com Product Description

Missing out on music? Now you can bring music or DVD sound to places where traditional speakers won't fit thanks to NXG Technology's 2-way NX-50DVC in-ceiling speaker. It's sold individually and wired for terrific single-point audio, making it ideal for places where pinpoint stereo imaging isn't critical--a kitchen, say, or a physician's or other office.

The NX-50DVC is outfitted with a 5.25-inch, dual-voice-coil, polymica cone woofer with a durable rubber surround. It also sports a pivoting .5-inch liquid-cooled, titanium-dome tweeter with a neodymium magnet. Two voice coils means you can wire this one speaker with both leads from an amplifier or surround receiver's left/right output so you'll be able to hear--with just one speaker--all of a stereo program's elements...just not in stereo. The tweeter pivots so you can focus its output toward a desired listening area.

With in-ceiling speakers, the ceiling and the space behind it actually serve as a speaker cabinet, resonating with lower (bass) frequencies that would be lost without the focusing a cabinet provides. As such, the speaker depth is just 3 inches, yet it still delivers an impressive 65 to 21,000 Hz frequency response. Mounted flush to the ceiling, it occupies absolutely no shelf space. This discreet, compact format is perfect for applications where traditional speakers would be impractical or impossible--or simply unsightly.

The speaker's sensitivity is rated at 90 dB (1 watt @ 1 meter), which means it's easily driven; NXG recommends use with integrated amplifiers or surround receivers up to 60 watts (maximum) per channel. The speaker sounds great on its own, but you can also use it as a secondary speaker to bring music from your living-room system to additional rooms in the house.

NXG recommends using a minimum of 16-gauge speaker wire for all installations, keeping in mind that gauge decreases as the wire thickens (i.e. 14-gauge wire is thicker than 16-gauge wire). You may paint the perforated speaker grille, as well as the frame, to match any room.

What's in the Box
One speaker with a removable grille and self-contained mounting clamps, a mounting template, and a user's manual with warranty information.

Note: Tools required for installation include a drill and bits, a stud finder, a utility knife or drywall saw, a level, wire cutter/strippers, and speaker wire or speaker cable (all sold separately).
