Description

The OSD Audio ACE850 is the step-up 8" trimless in-ceiling speaker pair in the ACE series. Premium parts - Kevlar woofers, pivoting aluminum dome tweeters and sophisticated crossovers - deliver deep bass and exceptional top-end frequency response for large rooms, media rooms and home theaters.

  • KEVLAR WOOFER FOR DEEP, CLEAN BASS: The sturdy 8" Kevlar cone keeps its shape even at very high energy levels, so you can turn it up without distortion. Deep, rich bass for large rooms, media rooms and home theater.
  • AIMABLE ALUMINUM TWEETER: The 1" pivoting aluminum dome tweeter can be aimed at the listening area for better sound quality, and sophisticated crossovers blend the drivers smoothly. 35Hz - 20kHz, 88 dB sensitivity.
  • HIGH POWER HANDLING: Each speaker handles 175W, so the pair stays composed at party and movie volumes. The 8-ohm load works with standard stereo amplifiers, AV receivers and multi-zone systems.
  • TRIMLESS, PAINTABLE GRILLS: Magnetic micro-flange grills go on in seconds and sit close to the ceiling for minimal visual impact. Spray paint the grills to match any decor and blend in with recessed lighting.
  • SECURE CONNECTIONS, EASY INSTALL: Gold-plated 5-way binding posts and built-in dog-ear brackets. Sold as a pair with two paintable magnetic grills. 9.37" cutout, 10.79" diameter, 4.41" mounting depth.
  • WARRANTY: Backed by OSD Audio's 10-year warranty.

Kevlar woofer cones hold their shape even at very high energy levels, which lets you play the system louder without distortion. The 1" aluminum dome tweeter pivots, so you can aim it toward the listening area for clearer, more detailed highs from anywhere in the ceiling.

Frequency response is 35Hz - 20kHz, sensitivity is 88 dB and each speaker handles 175W. With an 8-ohm load, the ACE850 works with standard stereo amplifiers, AV receivers and multi-zone systems. Gold-plated 5-way binding posts give a secure, corrosion-resistant connection.

The trimless design uses a micro-flange grill held on by strong magnets, for quick installation and minimal visual impact. The grills are spray paintable to match any decor.

To install, cut a 9.37" hole, wire the speaker, set it in place and tighten the front screws to lock the built-in dog-ear brackets against the ceiling. Each speaker measures 10.79" in diameter with 4.41" of mounting depth.

Sold as a pair with two spray-paintable magnetic grills. Passive speakers - an amplifier or receiver is required. Backed by OSD Audio's 10-year warranty.

What's on your mind?

sonya • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM is there any difference between the ACE850 and the ICE850 besides the thin bezel on the ACE
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Sonya, The only other difference between the ICE850 and ACE850 is the sensitivity rating. The ICE850 is at 89db when the ACE850 is at 88db, so not a big difference. CS 3660
Guy • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM The manual and one of the comments lists this speaker as having 92db sensitivity, but the specs section lists 88db.Which is right?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Guy: Go with the Manual, our site is currently being updated a category at a time. And we will be changing the on-line listing to match the Manual. Sorry for the confusion, ironically I am the one doing the updates so I better step it up TL/3678
RHB • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM This is probably a more general question, but I am going to mount these in wood, stained dark brown. Are their replacement grills or is there a suggested way to get a grill in a darker color - black, etc? Thanks
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
HI RHB: The Grills are paint able, You can use a spray paint. After you paint it remove the cloth cloth attached on the inside of the Grill. TL/3976
cabot • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM Do the ACE850's come with the New Construction Bracket PCB-C800?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Marshall: These do not come with a New Construction Bracket. It is optional and I believe the ,model number is wrong. It should be a NCBC8-K New Construction Bracket Pair For 8" In Ceiling Speaker. TL/4436
Anthony • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM I am trying to finish out my 7.2 home theater for my new basement. So far I have 3 OSD-MK-IW550LCR for front, R and L and have the Onkyo TX-NR656 ready to power them. I am looking for the rear and side speakers to put in the ceiling and am wondering if these would do well. I also plan on two OSD sub-woofers to round it all out (one in front left, one in back right). The space is about 16 ft x 17 ft but is also open to adjoining spaces (no doors).
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Anthony: The best speakers for In-Ceiling Speakers for Custom Home Theater for Front Stage LCR (which you have covered) and also Surround and Effects speakers are our Angled In-ceiling speakers the ACE870 (best for front stage) and the ACE670 for the surround/effects speakers. The angled speakers give you more mounting/placement options. With the ONKYO you will look for a pair of surrounds to be on either side of the optimum listening area or even slightly behind. That would be labeled as channel 4 and 5 for the Surround. Then they have channel 6 for sub and 7 and 8 for Surround Back or Height (effects speakers). These would be for your Dolby Atmos speakers located between the front stage and seating area. You can place the height speakers 3 to 5 feet in front of your optimum viewing/listening seating area. You can go with the 8" if you want but the 6.5 are typically enough. Right now we are out of stock on both the ACE670 and ACE870 but if you contact our sales department they can provide you with a couple of direct replacements from our Black Series. We should have the two ACE speakers in the second quarter 2018. TL/4810
