Description
The OSD Audio ICE610 is a 6.5 inch 2 way in-ceiling speaker pair that gives builders and homeowners a cost effective way to add quality sound to every room. It is a strong fit for whole home audio, multi-room systems, kitchens, living rooms and home theater surrounds.
Each speaker combines a 6.5 inch polypropylene cone woofer with a butyl rubber surround and a 1/2 inch pivoting PEI dome tweeter. Butyl rubber is tough and moisture resistant and provides excellent damping, with a much longer service life than foam. The pivoting tweeter can be aimed toward your listening area for crisp, focused highs.
With 120 watts of power handling, 88 dB sensitivity and 8 ohm impedance, the ICE610 works with most stereo amplifiers and AV receivers and delivers a wide 50Hz to 22kHz frequency response.
Built-in dog ear clamps grip the drywall as you tighten the screws, so no mounting brackets are needed for retrofit installs. The snap-in grille can be spray painted to match your ceiling. For best results, use CL3 or FT4 rated in-wall speaker wire, 16 gauge up to 100 feet and 14 gauge for longer runs. These are passive speakers and require an amplifier or receiver.
Check the Fit
Needs a 7.95 inch cutout and 3.31 inches of clearance above the ceiling; paintable grille is 9.06 inches across. Replacing speakers? Measure the old hole first. Dog ear clamps, no brackets needed. Sold as pair (2 speakers)
Key Features
- Balanced Room-Filling Sound: 6.5 inch polypropylene cone woofer and 1/2 inch PEI dome tweeter deliver clear highs, natural vocals and solid bass from 50Hz to 22kHz

- 120W Power Handling: 88 dB sensitivity and 8 ohm impedance work with most stereo amplifiers, AV receivers and multi-zone systems; spring loaded terminals for quick wiring
- Built To Last: Butyl rubber surround offers better damping and a longer life than foam, so the speakers keep sounding good for years

We just received our ICE610 ceiling speakers and volume slides. The house was pre-wired during remodeling. Can you recommend an amplifier that would be appropriate to use with these speakers? We have 4 separate zones. We're installing this system ourselves and have limited knowledge about stereo equipment. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Chris:
Thank you for purchaing ICE610 in-ceiling speakers. We would recommend a combination of the AMP120 and ISS4 Speaker Selector. It sounds like you purchased Impedance matching slider style Volume Controls hopefully from us. They need to be impedance matching to make this work properly. You will need to run CL3 Rated speaker wire from the amplifier (Speaker Output A) to the Input on the ISS4 speaker selector. Then connect speaker wire from each zone output to the volume control input located in each room. We would recommend using our 4 conductor 16 gauge CL3 rated cable to handle this connection to the speaker selector then to the volume controls. From the volume controls you will need to run 2 conductor 16 gauge CL3 rated cable to each speaker (right and left in each zone). Each Volume controls has a impedance matching switch which needs to be set to 4X. Make sure the protection button on the ISS4 Speaker Selector is in the off position (disabled). The Volume Controls do all the protection the amplifier needs. Please feel free to contact us if you need further assitance.

How can i assess the quality of the speaker without hearing it?

Hi Samuel:
Good question... we have a thrirty day satisfaction gurantee, you can return them within thirty days of your purchasing them from us if you are not satisfied. But really these speakers should sell at twice the price if you were to looking for in-Ceiling speakers at retail. They do feature a Poly woofer with Butyl rubber surrounds. Note compare these to our ICE640 speakers at $69.95 a pair (double the price). Look at the images for both. The ICE610 does not have a true crossover network (just a small capacitor that protects the tweeter while the mid bass driver rolls off naturally). The ICE640 has a true crossover network seperating the the high and low frequencies. The ICE610 is rated at 100 watts and the ICE640 at 150 Watts. The ICE640 features a more accurate 1 inch silk soft dome tweeter versus the 1/2 inch of the ICE610. Note the Frequency response, the ICE640 goes down to 38Hz versus 60 Hz for the ICE610. If you are looking for a good background speaker for the price the ICE610 is an excellent value. But for more critical listening the ICE640 is the better value with the performance to back it up. Thank you for considering OSD Branded Speakers.

I just bought two pair of these speakers, and I want to connect both sets to one volume controller (already purchased). How do I parallel wire these since there is not output on the speaker?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
HI Jill,
You can terminate both pairs of speaker cables into the Volume Control (a tight fit using 16 gauge) or you can connect the first pair of speakers to the volume control and then connect a second speaker cable from the first pairs inputs twisting the two cables together. It will output audio signal to the second speaker from this connection. So you either home run both pair back to the volume control or daisy chain the second pair from the first pair. I hope that helps.

I am building a bungalow and will be setting up the wiring for my electrician to come and hook up. I thought to install in-ceiling speakers would be a good idea before the drywall is installed. My question is: What is the best solution for having 3 sets of speakers in my kitchen, and 3 sets in my living room? I want to be able to turn off the kitchen speakers when Im not in there, and vica versa. I also want to be able to hook up my music to it whether its a USB or bluetooth. I dont have a big budget, but just wondering what sort of solutions there are for this setup Im looking for.
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
Hi Jordan,
We suggest combining a speaker selector like our ISS6 with the AMP200 high current amp to drive 6 pairs of speakers. You can purchase a USB to RCA adapter or one of our Bluetooth units made by Russound. http://www.outdoorspeakerdepot.com/russound-bluetooth-source-kit-bsk-1.html
