Product Description

This Kevlar in-wall speaker offers the perfect combination of performance and style. The use of aramid fiber for the woofer means that the speaker can hit harder, go lower, and handle more power with significantly less distortion than conventional drivers. The titanium silk dome tweeter produces clean, crisp, and clear highs and mids.



You can fine tune the blend of sound using the built-in high frequency attenuator in case your room is too bright. The metal grille can be painted to match your ceiling. Easy to install with simple hand tools, less time working and more time relaxing.



All Caliber series in-wall and ceiling speakers are sonically matched to provide a uniform sound stage across you entire listening area. Simple two channel listening rooms to full screening rooms with 7.2.4 Atmos and DTS-X immersive cinema systems will benefit from the matched components of the Caliber series installation speakers.

Customers like the sound quality of the speakers. They say they are very impressed with the sound, excellent, and value for money. The vocals sound really good, and they can get very loud and stay clear and crisp. The speakers are wonderful for music and home theater, and the amiable tweeter really makes them pop. The watt per channel amp, so it really fills out the room nicely.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, Minor Issues
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2020
I purchased these 3-way speakers to use as rear surround speakers. The pictures undersell just how large they are. You'll be cutting a scary large hole in your drywall to mount them.

One of the reasons I bought these speakers is because of the "paintable grill." And while that is technically true, after you paint the grill, you'll be left with a white border all the way around the speakers. Fortunately, the speakers are held into the frame with six screws. If you remove those, you can remove the speaker and easily paint the plastic frame along with the grill. I used a $2 can of black spray paint and did everything. They look great.

Most houses have studs placed 16" apart, so that gives you about two inches on either side when cutting the hole in your wall. After taping the template to the wall and making sure it was straight, I used a Rotozip to cut out the drywall (get ready for a mess!). The template is the exact minimum size needed, so I had to go back over the cut and make it slightly larger for the speaker to drop into the hole and sit flush with the wall. Don't let your wife see the hole in the wall before the speaker is installed because it's going to look huge.

The speaker mounts to the wall with a series of tabs that spin into place and tighten as a screw on the front of the speaker is turned. I used an electric screwdriver with a long bit to reach the screws. If you do that, GO SLOW. The minute I felt resistance on the driver, I let go. Before inserting the speaker into the wall, make sure all the tabs are vertical -- that will allow them to "spin outward" (it'll make sense when you do it). You can install the speaker with a screwdriver (manual or electric), but I would be careful if using a drill as I could see these tabs breaking fairly easily under stress.

If I were going by sound alone, I would rate these speakers 5/5. Don't let the price fool you -- they sound great. The tab installation system keeps them from vibrating or rattling. I docked the speakers one star because one of them arrived with one of the tabs already broken off and I didn't notice it until after I had started painting them, which was too late to return them. My only concern is that if the speakers ever quit working, I'll either have to replace them with the exact same model or learn how to do serious drywall repair.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great better than expected!
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2023
The speaker itself it a bit bigger than I had expected and heavier too. Maybe it would have been easier to install had it been on a flat wall and not at an angle like I mounted them, but really the hard part was how heavy it was to hold up at that angle. Thw sound is great outside and can only imagine how they must sound inside a room as intended. Very happy with the purchase and I am going to add one more set of these outside.
