Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Bring your music or DVD sound to places where traditional speakers won't fit with NXG Technology's 2-way NX-PRO80C in-ceiling speakers. They make unassuming surround speakers for home theater, too--simply mount one pair (2 speakers) to the rear of your listening position or, for 7.1 sound, 2 pairs with speakers both behind and to the side of your listening area.

Each of the two speakers in the NX-PRO80C package is outfitted with a large, 8-inch titanium-anodized, injection-molded woofer with a durable rubber surround and a 1-inch liquid-cooled, titanium-dome tweeter. The tweeters pivot so you can aim them toward your primary listening position(s).

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 4 inches, yet they still deliver a nearly full-range 40 to 22,000 Hz frequency response. Mounted flush to the ceiling, they occupy absolutely no shelf space. This discreet, compact format is perfect for applications where traditional speakers would be impractical or impossible--or simply unsightly.

The speakers' sensitivity is rated at 90 dB (1 watt @ 1 meter), which means they're easily driven; NXG recommends use with integrated amplifiers or surround receivers up to 100 watts (maximum) per channel. The speakers sound great on their own, but you can also use them as secondary speakers 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 grilles, as well as the frames, to match any room.

What's in the Box
Two speakers with removable grilles, 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).
