The Theory Audio Design ic6 In-Ceiling Speaker

The Theory ic6 high-output in-ceiling loudspeaker will change your expectations of small-format, high-efficiency in-ceiling loudspeakers. Via careful processing and computer-optimized tuned ports, the ic6 delivers exceptional low-frequency band­width, punch and resolution. Even when used in foreground music applications - no subwoofer is necessary.

But that’s not all. The ic6 offers extremely wide dispersion to the highest frequencies, so the coverage area is massive, even when installed in low ceilings. Reserve space in the ceiling during the construction phase of the project with Theory's optional pre-construction brackets. Each bracket shows the loudspeaker model number so no errors are made prior to drywall.

No ceiling? No problem. Theory's optional ic6 Pendant Hous­ings convert your Theory in-ceiling loudspeaker into a stylish, pendant-style loudspeaker in less than 5 minutes.

This is the highest performance 6.5” ceiling speaker available.

The Theory of Everything: Theory is genuinely unique - their products have completely changed the level of performance attainable from small to medium size installed sound systems. Part of the way they attain this level of performance is by employing proprietary DSP techniques to process the signal for their loudspeakers and subwoof­ers with a very high degree of precision.

As such, the Theory ecosystem of products is a little different than what you're used to as all The­ory loudspeaker models require the application of Theory High Resolution Digital Loudspeaker Processing. For this reason, it is best to think of Theory loudspeakers as "active" or "powered" speakers - Theory have just elected to place the electronics, normally installed inside the loudspeaker itself, in rack-mountable chasses, outside the harsh environment of the loudspeaker, and where wiring and service of the electronics can be accomplished painlessly.

So when configuring system designs, always pair your chosen Theory loudspeakers with appropriate Theory Amplified Loudspeaker Controllers. These highly power­ful and flexible units will make deploying Theory systems simple and painless, and will guaranty the best performance available for your application.
