Designed for easy drop-in installation, these in-wall in-ceiling speakers come with a precision flange and Perfect Fit templates for seamless embedding within your home architecture.

The in-wall and in-ceiling space act as a "virtual enclosure", enhancing bass response, and ensuring a smooth blend of low-frequency sounds with the midrange.
