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.

Craig • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM Hello. I have a 7.2 system mapped out. I am not sure what exactly is being said on one of the q&a Would you not suggest using 7 of these speakers? I should be looking at these for mains and a different model for center and surrounds? Thanks
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Craig: These speakers were created as Front Stage LCR speakers Left, Center and right. But they also work very well as both surround speakers and effects (like ATMOS or DTS:X). The key to any home theater system is the placement of the speakers so you can aim all the tweeters directly to the optimum viewing and listening area. We would recommend using the ACE870 for your front speakers and the ACE 670 for your Surrounds and Effects speakers. The question I think you were referring to was regarding an older speaker the ICE 870 and ICE 850 TL/4253
Idilio Gonzalez • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM Can these be ceiling mounted on a outdoor terrace? I know you have an outdoor line of speakers, but there seem to be more options and maybe even quality on those that are not outdoor rated by your website.
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Idilio: These are an excellent choice, you can mount these in your application but you want to take some precautions where you might want to weatherize it your self including putting a bead of silicon on the back of the mounting flange and maybe covering some of the exposed metal components on the back side around the input terminals and crossover parts. This is a great speaker... TL/4294
Don • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM I have a Marantz sr6011 9.1 atmos enabled receiver, Klipsch Reference Premiere speakers including one set of Klipsch RP 140-sa Dolby enabled speakers. I would still like to add ceiling dolby atmos alon gwith my Dolby enabled speakers. Considering I have a have a high end system, do you feel these speakers will complement the system I already have. The price is certainly right. Just want to make sure they will complement my system.
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Don These would be perfect match with your Reference series speakers. Both feature metal dome tweeters. The ACE are 92 dB sensitivity and KLIPSCH are at 97dB. So you would haved to raise the volume levels up on the ACE speakers. You could get away with the ACE670 if you wanted to save additional dollars. Most of the up firing Dolby Atmos speakers are 3.5" full range drivers. Good choice TL/4571
lee edger • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM can i use use osd ace870 for all my in ceiling speakers meaning L/R center and surrounds
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Lee: Sure you can, the front stage is most critical so the Left, Center and Right (LCR). You can look to the ACE670 for the Surround and Effects speakers. You definitely will want to look for at least a basic DOLBY ATMOS setup. ACE870 for the LCR, ACE670 for the Surrounds and a pair of ACE670 for the Height/ATMOS. Look for a Receiver that does both ATMOS and DTS:X. The ATMOS setup will work for both. You can easily find a receiver for $400 and up for a 7.2. Also think about utilizing two subs for the optimum coverage. The ATMOS system would be a 5.2.2 system. 9.2 Receivers would add a second pair of Height speakers for a 5.2.4 system. Your surrounds would be off to the left and right of the optimum seating location with front height speakers between the Front stage and seating location and the second pair behind the seating area. There is also a 7.2.2 option as well with the 9.2 which starts at $1300 plus and the 11.2 another $1000 above that. Let us know if we can custom design a system for you. TL/4804
Brian • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM What's magnet size?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
HI Brian: The first time somebody asked me a question about the Magnet size of a speaker since my Car Audio days over 15 years ago. I asked the factory, and they responded with dimensions 4" outer diameter by .69" depth. We typically referred to the magnet size by weight. I think the magnet is 20 Ounce. TL/5231
