Description

The OSD Audio ACE870 is an 8" angled LCR (left, center, right) trimless in-ceiling speaker for home theaters that want focused, room-filling sound without speakers on the wall. The angled design aims sound toward the listening area and allows ideal placement closer to the wall, keeping the imaging and staging that regular down-firing ceiling speakers lose.

  • ANGLED FOR FOCUSED THEATER SOUND: Aims sound at the seats and allows ideal placement closer to the wall, keeping imaging that down-firing speakers lose. Angled design suits overhead channels in immersive surround formats such as Dolby Atmos®.
  • IMPRESSIVE BASS: An 8" carbon fiber composite woofer and a heavy-duty, efficient magnet structure that focuses energy in the voice coil gap deliver strong bass with crisp mids. 35Hz - 20kHz, 88 dB sensitivity, 175W handling.
  • PIVOTING ALUMINUM TWEETER AND CONTOUR SWITCH: Aim the 1" aluminum dome tweeter toward your seat, then use the front-mounted contour switch to tailor bass and treble to the room - all from the front.
  • BUTYL RUBBER SURROUND: Gives the woofer more excursion for deeper bass and wider frequency response. Gold-plated 5-way binding posts keep the connection to your amplifier or AV receiver secure.
  • TRIMLESS AND EASY TO INSTALL: Four easy-to-lock dog-ear brackets and a cut-out template are included, with a spray-paintable magnetic grill. 9.87" cutout, 11.5" diameter, 5.37" depth. Sold as a single speaker.
  • WARRANTY: Backed by OSD Audio's 10-year warranty.

Along with crisp, detailed mids and highs, the ACE870 delivers impressive bass, thanks to its 8" carbon fiber composite woofer and a heavy-duty, efficient magnet structure that focuses energy within the voice coil gap. A butyl rubber surround gives the woofer more excursion for deeper bass and a wider frequency response.

The 1" aluminum dome tweeter pivots, so you can aim the highs toward the seats, and a front-mounted contour switch lets you tailor the bass and treble to the room after installation. Frequency response is 35Hz - 20kHz, sensitivity is 88 dB (1W/1m) and power handling is rated at 175W.

Use the ACE870 for front left, center and right channels, or as side and rear surrounds. Angled design suits overhead channels in immersive surround formats such as Dolby Atmos®. Gold-plated 5-way binding posts give a secure connection to any 8-ohm amplifier or AV receiver.

The ACE870 installs easily with four easy-to-lock dog-ear brackets and includes a cut-out mounting template. Cut a 9.87" hole, wire the speaker, set it in place and tighten the brackets. The speaker measures 11.5" in diameter with 5.37" of mounting depth. The spray-paintable magnetic grill sits flush to the ceiling for a clean, trimless finish.

Sold as a single speaker with a spray-paintable magnetic grill, cut-out mounting template and four dog-ear brackets. Passive - an amplifier or receiver is required. Backed by OSD Audio's 10-year warranty.

What's on your mind?

Tim Hoiwell • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM I'm going to have an outdoor system under my patio/carport at the beach location. Will these speakers do well in that type of environment?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Tim: Our WRS series Outdoor speakers would be better suited for your application. They are weatherproof and feature rust proof Aluminum grills. The ICE840WRS and ACE640WRS are the upgrade models featuring 12 dB per octave second order crossover networks. Both are so popular we are sold out but are expecting a new shipment in November. Note, the angled ACE870 LCR speakers are ideal for an interior custom home theater. Typically customers use patio speakers for outdoor custom home theater (featuring a surround Receiver) or for playing sound for their outdoor TV. [email protected] Good luck TL/5257
Jack • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM What construction bracket fits the ace870?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Jack: Our BK-NC8A will work on the ACE870. You will need to customer Service/sales for a price on the New Construction Bracket that is sold as each just like the ACE870 angled 8" in-ceiling speaker. TL/5261
Tim • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM Do these ace870 speakers perform better in backer box’s? I have seen on the internet that some speakers have better bass response without boxes. My house has foam insulation on the inside of the roof so I don’t have a problem with insulation in contact with the speaker. I read where you recommend boxes to someone else. Have you tested with and without boxes?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Tim: These speakers feature a free air woofer that adapts to the cavity where it is mounted, whether just an area between two ceiling joists or a section reinforced with a custom enclosure. It sounded like you are cutting a hole in a finished ceiling, but worried about the insulation already in between the joists. The perfect solution for this is a product from OEM systems that cover over the back of the speaker. Here is a link for you to check it out: On-line shipped from San Diego; https://www.homecontrols.com/OEM-Systems-Insu-Flate-Ceiling-Speaker-Protection-OEISF14. This cover provides the protection you are looking for in your application. I have not heard the speaker with a back box. Good Luck TL/5317
Leif • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM What is the ohms of the ace870 ?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Leif: The impedance is 8 ohms just like the 6.5" ACE670. Thank you for pointing that our, we will get that added to the bullet points of the ACE870. A great speaker, by the way, ideal for front stage LCR while the ACE670 is the perfect match for Surrounds and effects speakers TL/5323
sonya • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM i was looking at your pre amp but it doesn't except enough inputs and i would like to be able to chose to send signal to two power amps when i want to. These are the components i have, Item Code: OSD-AMP300 and two Item Code: OSD-TSM8. Do you have any suggestions where to shop? or what to put in my search query? i don't care about recording or adjusting the highs mid or base. thank you for any help you can give.
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Sonya: So far I know you have a single OSD AMP300 connected to two TSM8 speaker Selectors. You also state that the OSD Pre-One Preamplifier does not have enough inputs (1 phone only and three others). How many sources in total do you have and what are they? Are you using Speaker A for the first TSM8 and Speaker B for the second TSM8? I could better answer your question with a little more information. Have you thought about adding a second OSD AMP300, so you have one amp for each TSM8? That will give you four source inputs total (two each amp; automatic source switching). Please let me know more?
