HDX-R65AIM High Definition In-Ceiling Speakers

SKU HDX-R65AIM

The HDX-R65AIM is an upgraded replacement to our popular HD-R65AIM ceiling speakers.  All X-series speakers include our new proprietary aesthetic design which offers the slimmest possible mounting profile and two distinct grille options that let you choose, before or after installation, which style looks best in your ceiling or wall.

The HD-R65AIM is designed around a 6.5" aluminum cone woofer mounted at an 18 degree angle.  It includes upgraded components for rooms where sound is at a premium. The 18 degree mounting angle makes this speaker ideal for rooms where the speakers need to be mounted in the ceiling and near a wall but where the sound needs to project into the room.  This is often the case with the front three speakers in a surround sound installation where the layout or aesthetic requires an in-ceiling versus in-wall installation.

The anodized aluminum tweeter, which can pivot an additional 15 degrees, provides excellent clarity and detail and is hidden behind the grille for a professional, flush-mount appearance. The +/-3dB switches on both the tweeter and woofer offer acoustical control to compensate for speaker positioning and room anomalies. The speaker grilles and frame can be painted to match your decor.

Details

The HDX-R65AIM is an exceptional pair of in-ceiling speakers. It is ideal for use in most mid-sized rooms, both for home theater and for high quality whole-house audio. The 6.5" aluminum woofer produces warm mid and low frequencies and the anodized aluminum tweeter blends nicely to produce a clear and crisp sound. Aluminum is an ideal material because it is lightweight and yet extremely rigid. A light cone means the speaker is fast which is important for accuracy and detail; the more rigid the cone membrane the less the cone warps during movement, again resulting in a more accurate performance. The tweeter is clear and bright without ever sounding harsh.  The aluminum is anodized, adding strength, durability and improved protection from the elements.


Like all of the speakers in our HDX line, the HDX-R65AIM includes an aimable tweeter that is recessed behind the grille. This allows the highest, most directional frequencies to be aimed at the primary listening area while allowing the speaker to maintain its flush-mount appearance.

Tone is controlled through separate +/-3dB switches for both the high and low frequencies. This feature (normally found only on more expensive speakers) allows you to customize the sound to your room and personal taste.


All of the speakers in our HDX line are suitable for use in high moisture areas, such as bathrooms with showers and outdoors as long as the speaker is installed where it is not hit directly by rain. In addition to the rust-proof aluminum woofer and tweeter, the moisture-resistant design includes stainless steel screws and coated crossover components.  While the trimless grille is made of powder coated steel (and attaches with magnets built-in to the speaker frame), the press-fit grille is made of powder-coated aluminum and is what we typically recommend when placing the speaker in high moisture areas.


The speaker is easy to install and includes all mounting hardware, a template for cutting the hole, and an Owner's Manual with an installation guide and tips to ensure your speakers look and sound great for years to come. Both of the included grille options and the polymer frame can be painted to match your decor.


All HTD speakers include a 5-year warranty and 30-day no-risk guarantee.
