Features and Specifications:
Another very popular model ceiling speaker, the OSD ICE650 takes you to a new level of audio with high-end features such as powerful Kevlar woofer cones, high quality chrome back surface, gold-plated compression terminals and a 12dB/12dB crossover just to name a few. Sold in pairs, the ICE650 in-ceiling speaker's sophisticated crossover network provides an exceptional blend of low- and top-end frequency response and a pivoting 1” aluminum dome tweeter can be aimed at the listening areas. All these features make the ICE650 in-ceiling speakers a perfect choice for high-end home theater installations or listening rooms and we’ll stand them up to competing speakers that cost twice or even three times more.

What are the Benefits of a Kevlar Woofer?
Kevlar is a super strong material known for its ability to produce powerful but very smooth bass tones. Kevlar woofer cones retain their shape even at very high energy levels, which means you can crank up the volume and experience spine-tingling sound without distortion or coloration.

Convenient Contour Switches
The front-mounted contour switches let you tailor frequency responses to your room arrangement. You won't find yourself wishing for more or less treble, mid-range or bass output from one speaker just because you don't happen to sit right between them. Contour switches are particularly useful to balance the sound in odd shaped rooms as well.

Should I Purchase special cable for in-ceiling speakers?
Wiring is not included with in-ceiling speakers so you will have to purchase some. While wiring requirements will depend on your local building codes, OSD Audio offers CL3/FT4 cable that is UL (fire) rated for all residential and most commercial in-wall and in-ceiling applications. (The exception is you cannot run this cable in heating or cooling ducts in commercial applications.) This cable includes a heavy-duty outer jacket approved for in-wall/in-ceiling installation. The high quality plastic jacket is also very flexible so it's easy to run the wires inside the wall.

Powder Coated Aluminum Grille Will Not Rust
Many OSD in-ceiling speakers include powder-coated grilles that will not rust. This makes these ceiling speakers ideal for bathrooms, laundry rooms or even covered patios. Keep in mind, however, that these in-ceiling speakers are not outdoor speakers and should be exposed to a lot of moisture.



For a retrofit installation, no construction bracket is needed.

Hi. Looking to run 4 of these speakers in a theater room. I'm on a budget and would like to know if these put out good amount of bass?
By Customer Service - Q&A on November 16, 2011

Answer:
These are audiophile quality speakers that are rated to go down to 30Hz for plenty of bass. Home Theater on a budget sounds like you are not using a 5.1 audio/video receiver and instead going with two pairs of speakers connected to a external amplifier (which you may already own) using your TV as one of the sources. You also were comparing these speakers to the ACE645 invisible 61/2" in-ceiling speakers. These feature a cosmetically appealing frameless grille more so than their overall sound quality and bass response. But at $79.50 versus $119.90 you could add a dedicated powered subwoofer like our S-10 for a little more money. We also offer the broadest selection of Custom Home Theater speakers including In-wall and In-ceiling LCR (left, center and right) options, Surround Speakers and Powered Subwoofers. We even have 5.1 and 7.1 Audio/Video Receivers!

By Customer Service - Q&A on December 5, 2011

Answer:
Mike,
I would go with our ice650 in your office, as well as our ice850 in your shop since its larger. Those are our best selling speakers and in my opinion our best deals too!

Answer:
Hi Mike:

CL, hit it on the head recomending using 8" in the larger area...

Here is something else to think about... regarding the source as well...

Option#1:

OSD PA190 70 Volt Power Amplifier with intercom capability to power 4 ICE640ST for your office and 4 ICE840 for your warehouse. I am assuming you have a drop down tile ceiling for your warehouse as well. These are unique that they feature dedicated back boxes. These are wired in parallel from speaker to speaker. Each spekaer features a summed Monofull range signa. Plus you hae voice over intercom capabilityl

Option#2: AMP200 Power Amplifier, DSM8 Dual source speaker selector and 4 each of the ICE640TT for the office and 4 each of the ICE840TT for the Warhouse. These are summed mono stereo speakers that could be connected to single zone of the DSM8 speaker selector. No only would you have the ability of turning each speaker on and off but have a choice of A or B source for each speaker. So you could play different music in the office while listening to something else in the warehouse. The amp also features automatic source switching so source #1 could be connected to your computer to play an iTunes library or be connected to streaming intenet radio. You could then connect an iPod to source #2 which would be active once source #1 was turned off. The DSM8 speaker selector features dual speaker level (amplifier signal) connection so the AMP200 would be source number one and either a receiver or another ampifier could be connected for source number two.

If you would like to discuss these and other option please contact our specialists Chris Mirsch at Chris@osdaudio.com or you can all him at 1-888-779-4968 and ask for Chris

Quality for a great price! Very happy with fast shipment and excellent sound! - Ian

I just bought a pair of the ice650 speakers. They sound great. I will probably buy some in wall speakers for the front left and right channel. OSD has a great selection at a good price. I would recommend their company. -Ohio - Randy

Very well made good quality speakers, I can't tell the difference between this and B&W's. - Doug the Installer

Just installed these as well. Got everything up and running and it sounds great. Price is great as well. Thanks. - Doug

Fantastic speakers at a fantastic price. The contour switches when you need to balance the acoustics for odd shaped room (which i have). They were easy to install with the step by step instructions and the cutout template. I will be buying another set soon for another room in my home. - Rich

I'm very pleased with the sound from these high quality speakers I will buy another set of these or the 850s as I expand my home audio. - Tom

I have these mounted in the ceiling and the sound is way better than I expected and the price outbids the competition. Exactly the sound, size and camoflagued intergration I wanted. - RegB
