ic6 In-Ceiling Loudspeaker
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 highest frequencies (refer to the ic6 Pendant measurements for data), so the coverage area is massive, even when installed in low ceilings.
This is the highest performance 6” ceiling speaker available.
16-ohm and 70V/100V operation.

ic6 MEASUREMENTS
ACCURATE TIMBRE, ALL THE WAY TO TWENTY.
The ic6 Frequency Response is remarkably flat and extended insuring the highest accuracy and highest-resolution available. Even at very low levels, the sound is crystal clear, open and delicate.
REFLECT. REJOICE.
Even the reflected sound from an ic6 loudspeaker is accurate and extended. The ic6 will fill your room with coherent, accurate sound everywhere. Shown is the CEA2034 for Half Space Estimated In-Room response which predicts the measured response in a typical reflective room.
SOUNDS GOOD EVERYWHERE. EVEN AT THE CEILING.
Even at 90° off-axis - literally at the surface of the ceiling - the response of the ic6 is smooth, with gradual, controlled HF roll off. So should you be up there painting the ceiling, you’re going to enjoy the performance of the ic6.
TIGHT GROUPING.
The ic6 offers wide dispersion all the way to the very top audio octave. Everyone hears wide-band, detailed sound.
140 DEGREES OF FREEDOM
The dispersion of the ic6 exceeds 140° at 12kHz. Even the bad tables in the dining room receive detailed sound.
“SEE” THE SOUND.
Here is the data shown in the Directivity Contour Plot shown again on a polar map, making it easier to “see” how the sound is dispersed from the loudspeaker itself. The 0° axis represents the axis perpendicular to the speaker grille - in order words, that axis straight down when the speaker is mounted into a ceiling. The ic6 coverage is very wide and uniform, all the way to the top audio octave: >120° at -6dB even at 12kHz! Everyone in a broad area receives full-range sound with delicate, extended treble response..
POWER THROUGH.
The Sound Power is the sum of the total output of a loudspeaker. The ic6 Sound Power Response is smooth and extended, indicating that the ic6 will fill a room with neutral, wide-bandwidth sound everywhere.
ic6 ACCESSORIES
RESERVE YOUR SPOT.
Theory in-ceiling loudspeaker pre-construction brackets allow you to easily reserve space in the ceiling during the construction phase of the project. Each bracket shows the loudspeaker model number so no errors are made prior to drywall.
NO CEILING? NO PROBLEM.
Theory optional Pendant Housings convert your Theory in-ceiling loudspeaker into a stylish, pendant-style loudspeaker in less than 5 minutes.
DROP CEILING? NO PROBLEM.
A 24” spacing tile bridge kit is available to make installation into drop ceilings painless and secure.
