Come hang out and check out our very good friend JoeNTell’s latest video as he compares 3 of our top In-Ceiling Speakers the R62EZ, ACE650, and ACE670, and gives you tips and ideas of how to pick which one works best for your home theater or whole-house audio setups.
And for some context here is a quick description of each speaker along with their unique specifications.
R62EZ – 6.5″ In-Ceiling Speaker, 1″ Silk Dome Tweeter, Quick EZ Mounting System (Single)
A step-up version of the BK-R61EZ, OSD Black’s BK-R62EZ 6.5″ 2-way in-ceiling speaker provides legendary OSD Black sound quality in an easy to install package. Engineered with audio-enhancing features, this single speaker includes a 6.5” injection molded polypropylene woofer cone that retains more stiffness and is less prone to resonance than cast polypropylene cones, so you’ll experience enveloping bass and mid frequencies with a wide sound stage.
Quick EZ Mounting System
The BK-R62EZ includes a built-in EZ Mount System that is a real-time-saver, especially on large jobs. Once the hole is cut (and we include the template), you hold on to the tweeter bridge and simply push the speaker up against the drywall, turning it clockwise about 15 degrees. This engages the EZ Mount System and the dog ear brackets will automatically move outward and secure the speaker to the drywall.

ACE650 – 6.5″ Kevlar® Woofer Trimless Thin Bezel 2-Way In-Ceiling Speaker Pair
The ACE650 incorporates premium technologies such as Kevlar® woofers, pivoting titanium dome tweeters, and sophisticated crossovers that provide deep bass and exceptional top-end frequency response. Kevlar® is the best component for woofers. It responds note for note without coloration and has big cranking power so you can dial up your system for higher listening levels.
Audiophiles Love Kevlar® Woofers
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.

ACE670 – 6.5″ Angled Trimless LCR In-Ceiling Speaker, 1″ Pivoting Tweeter Dolby Atmos® Ready (Single)
With the ACE670 trimless in-ceiling LCR angled speakers, you’ll get imaging and staging that would be lost with regular down-firing in-ceiling speakers. Features include a sturdy 6.5” Carbon Fiber Woofer fixed at a 15° angle, a 1” aluminum dome tweeter, and a 90W power handling. You can even use them for Dolby Atmos® front, rear and side surrounds in a 5.1 or 7.2 system. Contour switches also allow you to tailor the bass and rebel to your preference.
What Are the Benefits of an Angled In-Ceiling Speaker?
The angled speaker is a real problem solver because not every space is ideal for custom home theater sound applications. The angled in-ceiling speaker features a 15° angle for the mid-bass driver plus a pivoting tweeter for placement flexibility. This speaker can be part of a three-piece set to handle the front stage of the surround system when both on-wall and in-wall are not a favorable option.
