Theory Audio Design Announces First In-Ceiling Speaker

California-based Theory Audio Design, founded in 2018, has announced the ic6 high-output in-ceiling loudspeakers, pendant housings, and pre-construction brackets. The new custom installation solutions provide dealers, integrators, architects, and designers with an audio option for virtually any residential or commercial installation.

As the first in-ceiling loudspeaker in the Theory product line, the ic6 provides installation flexibility ideal for residential or commercial installations, surround sound or distributed audio, and even outdoors when paired with Theory’s optional all-weather grille. The ic6 can also be installed in open-ceiling and exposed environments when integrated into one of Theory’s pendant housings. Available in a paintable matte white or matte black (available with matching black grille), Theory’s pendant housings are designed to allow the ic6 to seamlessly blend into any décor.

Theory’s new in-ceiling loudspeakers offer a maximum output of 112dB using polymer compression drivers and a 6-inch carbon fiber woofer. For large, distributed installs, the ic6 includes a switch-selectable 70V/100v transformer that can be driven direct by Theory’s forthcoming DLC-250.4 4-channel loudspeaker controllers. For commercial installations, the ic6 is UL-certified for fire signaling and for use in air-handling spaces.

The ic6 is available now for $675/each US MSRP. The ic6 Pendant Housings are $85/each (matte white) and $95/each (matte black with black ic6 grille), and the ic6 Pre-Construction Bracket is $62/pair.
