Introduction
In addition to crisp, detailed mid and high frequencies, this single in- ceiling speaker kicks out impressive bass due in part to the 8” carbon fiber composite woofer and heavy-duty and efficient magnet structure that focuses energy within the voice coil gap. Other Audiophile features designed into the ACE870 include front-mounted contour switch as well as butyl rubber surround that gives the speaker more excursion capability for deeper bass and wider frequency response. The ACE870 installs easily into ceilings with four easy- to-lock-in dog-eared brackets and includes a cut-out mounting template.
Product Description
The ACE870 Atmos Ready LCR In-Ceiling Speaker sounds great , looks great and
is powerful enough to fill larger home theaters or commercial spaces with
rich, enveloping sound. Designed with high-end components and audiophile
features, the ACE870 can handle up to 175 Watts of power so you can push
volume levels without stress or vibration.
The mid-bass driver is angled at 15 degrees, which gives you more placement
flexibility than standard in-ceiling speakers. This makes the ACE870 ideal for
a Dolby Atmos down-firing speaker setup where the overhead sound is an
essential part of the 3D experience. An angled speaker can be installed closer
to the wall, just above the screen, and the speaker assembly can be aimed at
the listening area.
**Why Go Trimless?**
It’s really a matter of aesthetic preference. These flush-mounted speakers are hardly noticeable; that is until they’re playing. Our Architectural Ceiling Element (ACE) Trimless speakers do not include the 3/4-inch trim you typically see around in-wall and ceiling speakers. The micro flange grilles are attached by extremely powerful magnets that stay put for quick and easy installation. Adds less visual impact on your architectural audio installation.
What are the Benefits of an Angled In-Ceiling Speaker?
The angled speaker is a real problem solver because not every space is ideal for custom home theater sound applications. The angled in-ceiling speaker features a 15° angle for the mid-bass driver plus a pivoting tweeter for placement flexibility. This speaker can be part of a three-piece set to handle the front stage of the surround system when both on-wall and in-wall are not a favorable option. The angled design allows the ideal placement in the ceiling closer to the wall just above the monitor. This creates a more realistic sound image when compared to normal in-ceiling speakers that are mounted closer to directly above the viewing area. Standard in-ceiling speakers are generally placed at least three feet from the wall to avoid reflective sound. The angle speaker can be placed within a foot of the wall
What Is Butyl Rubber Surround?
With almost double the shelf life of foam, butyl rubber has been the choice of speaker designers looking to optimize sound based upon materials that go together. The Surround is just one of the integral parts of the speaker’s motor structure. Butyl Rubber gives the speaker more excursion capability featuring a deeper bass with wider frequency response, and its shelf life is closer to 25 years compared to the foam at 12 to 15 years.

FAQs
Can I use in-ceiling speakers for surround sound rears?
As long as the amplifier you’re using supports surround sound, the answer is definitely.
Can we connect OSD ACE870 ceiling speakers to home theater?
You must utilise an amplifier or receiver if your in-ceiling speakers are passive. The one that works best for your home theatre will, however, mostly rely on the particular setup you have.
Can you use OSD ACE870 ceiling speakers for TV?
Every TV will have some sort of connected audio output. It will most likely be a digital optical output presently. You can enjoy TV sound through your ceiling speaker system by connecting an analogue cable from your TV to the amplifier, plugging it in, and setting your TV to line output.
Do in-ceiling speakers need power?
No, ceiling speakers typically function as passive speakers, which means they lack internal amplifiers and are powered by speaker cables connected to an external amplifier. Each ceiling speaker is connected to the binding posts on the amplifier to do this.
Are OSD ACE870 ceiling speakers good for music?
Ceiling speakers are indeed excellent for playing music. Similar to being at a concert hall or live music event, they have the power to immerse you in a surround sound experience.
What is needed for OSD ACE870 ceiling speakers?
An external amplifier that is wired via speaker cable to each ceiling speaker is required to power all of the ceiling speakers.
How do OSD ACE870 ceiling speakers connect to amp?
For the wires, drill a hole. Make sure the amplifier is unplugged and turn off your breaker. Put the wires in. Start attaching the wires to the ceiling speakers’ terminals. Take the opposite side of the wires and attach it to the amplifier’s terminals. Try it by turning on your breaker.
How are OSD ACE870 ceiling speakers measured?
Take your measurements in inches for the speaker using a ruler or a tape measure. The biggest portion of the cone should be facing up while your speaker is erect. Measure the distance between the mounting frame’s two edges at the speaker’s widest point. So that you won’t forget it later, note the measurement.
How do Bluetooth OSD ACE870 ceiling speakers work?
Bluetooth ceiling speakers are often wirelessly managed by a smartphone or other internet-connected device. The Bluetooth chip in the speaker will receive the content from the smartphone and play it through the speaker.
How do you protect insulation from OSD ACE870 ceiling speakers?
When it comes to blown-in insulation, your only alternative is a speaker box. As you can place insulation over the top of the speaker box, it is also the ideal choice for keeping your home insulated while retaining sound quality.
How far apart are OSD ACE870 ceiling speakers?
For the sake of alignment, measure your distance from the other ceiling components. Keep the speakers at least eight feet apart as a general guideline. The size of the room will influence this.
Do OSD ACE870 ceiling speakers make a difference?
If you want a more immersive audio experience, ceiling speakers are a terrific addition to a home theatre. Although they must be specially made for ceilings, they are a great addition to a surround sound system.
Do you need an enclosure for OSD ACE870 ceiling speakers?
Yes. The sound quality of your in-ceiling speakers will be diluted if a back box is not installed, and this will cause noise pollution in other rooms in your house.
What kind of amp do I need for OSD ACE870 ceiling speakers?
However, since the majority of ceiling speakers are rated at 60W or more, you shouldn’t have any issues using a 15 or 30W amplifier with them.
How far should OSD ACE870 ceiling speakers be from wall?
If the speakers are too far apart, the music will play in some areas of the room too loudly and in others too softly. In larger rooms, use two speaker pairs for balanced sound. We advise keeping in-wall and ceiling speakers at least 18 to 24 inches away from one another.
