A rugged and compact architectural speaker
Need speakers that can withstand humidity and sound great year-round? OSD's R62SM shallow-mount in-ceiling speakers were made with you in mind. These speakers employ weather-resistant materials everywhere possible — from their drivers to their crossover housing and everything in between. Plus, each speaker offers a contour switch so you can adjust the tweeter's output to better suit your room.
Finely crafted drivers
OSD put a lot of thought into the R62SM's drivers. Each speaker uses a rigid 6-1/2" polypropylene woofer to dish out tight, clean low-and mid-bass. The company also gave the woofer an injection-molded thermoplastic rubber surround, noteworthy for its superior damping characteristics and for its resistance to pollutants, UV rays, and harsh chemicals. There's also a 1" PEI dome tweeter mounted in the middle of the woofer for crisp, clean highs.
Contour switches and custom crossovers
Each speaker comes with a unique contour switch that changes the output level of the tweeter. There are -3dB, 0dB, and +3dB settings to help you match the speakers to the area's acoustics. If your room is full of reflective surfaces, you'll want to set it to "-3dB" to keep the tweeter from being too overbearing. If your room has lots of carpet, cloth, or other sound absorbing materials, you'll want to go with the inverse "+3dB" option to give the tweeter some extra oomph and help it come through clearly in your room.
OSD also included custom crossovers on the speakers, made with audiophile-grade components like Mylar® bypass capacitors. The crossovers were specifically designed to enhance the detail and soundstage width of the tweeters. They have their own protective shields to keep dust and debris out and air vents to keep things running cool.
Modern, easy mounting
The speakers fit into a 7-3/4" cutout and attach to your ceiling using four mounting clamps. The clamps themselves have brass inserts and machined steel bolts that resist thread stripping and rust. Rubber damping pads on the clamps reduce vibration and buzzing while also giving the speakers a supportive foundation to rest on.
