The Minimal Appearance ICS3FR “Full Range” in-ceiling solution is designed to provide architecture-friendly, high-resolution playback while matching 3″– 4″ recessed round and square lighting fixtures. The ICS3 Spiral Planar Magnetic Driver offers unmatched ultra-wide dispersion (120° Circular Coverage Angle -6dB) and can reproduce down to 40Hz (40Hz – 20kHz +/- 3dB; F10 is 30Hz -10dB where it stops making bass) using its 6.5” woofer.  (Optional Bass: SUB1 Minimal Appearance Subwoofer is available if additional bass is required).

The ICS3FR requires no additional EQ or PEQ, only a high-pass crossover at 35Hz-40Hz.    

The ICS3FR ships with all that is needed to do 3” Round/Square, 4” Round/Square, and hard and or gypsum mount.   Custom Options Available: Custom Colored Metal Grilles, and Custom Wood Grilles are both sold separately.
