SAGE SERIES ICS3FR
Point Source In-Ceiling Minimal Appearance Loudspeaker
Shipping Date To Be Announced
The Minimal Appearance iCS3FR (and optional SUB1 Subwoofer) 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 and can reproduce down to 50Hz without a subwoofer if desired, while the SUB1 subwoofer delivers unparalleled output delivering an amazing, yet interior designer appearance when more bass output is required.
Behind the high performance of the iCS3 in-ceiling speaker is a new Spiral Planar Magnetic Driver (SPMD). This engineering breakthrough offers super-wide dispersion down to 900Hz from the SPMD before crossing over to the 6.5″ woofer allowing sound energy to be evenly distributed throughout the listening space without having to use as many speakers as our competitors.
