OSD Black 8" Reference Series Carbon Fiber Woofer DVC In Ceiling Speaker

High-performance in-ceiling sound OSD's R83DT is a surprisingly affordable audiophile-grade in-ceiling speaker. It uses finely crafted drivers and delivers exceptional clarity no matter what you're listening to. And since this speaker has stereo inputs, you only need one to enjoy your music's full stereo mix. A powerful woofer and twin tweeters This speaker uses an 8" carbon fiber woofer with a TPR surround. The added rigidity that carbon fiber provides means the driver is lightweight, sturdy, and lightning quick. It has no problems dishing out detailed, stout bass. Twin pivoting 3/4" ceramic coated aluminum dome tweeters mounted over the middle of the woofer handle the high notes in your music with care and finesse. Unique tweeter contour switches and custom crossovers The speaker comes with two unique contour switches that change s the output level of the tweeters. There are -3dB, 0dB, and +3dB settings to help you match each tweeter to the area's acoustics. If your room is full of reflective surfaces, you'll want to set the switches to "-3dB" to keep the tweeters from being too overbearing. If your room has lots of carpet, cloth, or other sound absorbing materials, you'll want to go with the inverse "+3dB" option to give the tweeters some extra oomph and help them come through clearly in your room. OSD also included custom crossovers on the speakers, made with audiophile-grade components like Mylar? bypass capacitors. The crossovers were specifically designed to enhance the detail and soundstage width of the tweeters. They have their own protective shields to keep dust and debris out and air vents to keep things running cool. Straightforward mounting The speaker fits into a 9-7/16" cutout and attaches to your ceiling using four mounting clamps. The clamps themselves have brass inserts and machined steel bolts that resist thread stripping and rust. Rubber damping pads on the clamps reduce vibration and buzzing while also giving the speakers a supportive foundat
