ACE840

If you believe speakers should be heard and not seen, the OSD Audio ACE (Architectural Ceiling Element) series is for you. The ACE840 combines a discreet, modern design that interior decorators love with high-definition sound that fills even large spaces. It is an excellent choice for whole-house music, media rooms and home theater.

HEARD, NOT SEEN: A discreet, modern design interior decorators love, with strong audio performance to match. The 8" ACE840 pair fills large rooms with sound for whole-house music, media rooms and home theater surrounds.

FIBERGLASS WOOFER, PIVOTING TITANIUM TWEETER: An 8" fiberglass woofer gives deep, controlled bass, and the 1" pivoting titanium dome tweeter aims detailed highs at your seat. 35Hz - 20kHz, 88 dB sensitivity, 100W power handling.

BUILT TO LAST: Butyl rubber woofer surrounds give deeper bass and wider frequency response than foam and a much longer life. Gold-plated 5-way binding posts keep connections secure in a permanent install.

NEARLY INVISIBLE GRILLES: The micro-flange grille has a trim line of just .15", held on by strong magnets. Spray paint the grilles to match the ceiling and they blend in with your recessed lighting.

EASY INSTALL, SOLD AS A PAIR: Built-in dog-ear brackets lock each speaker to the ceiling as you tighten the front screws. Includes two passive 8-ohm speakers and two paintable magnetic grilles. 9.37" cutout, 4.41" depth.

WARRANTY: Backed by OSD Audio's 10-year warranty.

Each speaker uses an 8" fiberglass woofer with a butyl rubber surround and a 1" pivoting titanium dome tweeter. The fiberglass cone keeps bass deep and controlled, the rubber surround adds excursion and long life, and the pivoting tweeter can be aimed toward the listening area for detailed highs from anywhere in the ceiling.

Frequency response is 35Hz - 20kHz, sensitivity is 88 dB and power handling is rated at 100W. At 8 ohms, the ACE840 works with standard stereo amplifiers, AV receivers and multi-zone systems. Gold-plated 5-way binding posts give a secure, corrosion-resistant connection.

Look for the nearly invisible micro-flange grille - a trim line of just .15" - that gives ACE speakers their sleek, clean appearance. The grilles are held on by strong magnets and are spray paintable to match your ceiling and recessed lighting.

To install, cut a 9.37" hole, wire the speaker, set it in place and tighten the front screws to lock the built-in dog-ear brackets. Each speaker measures 10.79" in diameter with 4.41" of mounting depth.
