Crestron Electronics In-Ceiling Speakers

September 28, 2022

Crestron Electronics has announced an expansion of its robust audio portfolio with four new products, including three additions to the Crestron Speakers made by Origin Acoustics Ultimate Series line. Built natively for the Crestron Home OS and for easy integration with custom systems, these new audio solutions pair seamlessly with Crestron’s DM NAX Audio-over-IP distribution platform and blend stylishly into any interior aesthetic. 

Crestron first partnered with Origin Acoustics early in 2021 to bring next-level speaker options into any space in any home, so homeowners can select the speaker that best fits their lifestyle. Now homeowners have even more flexibility, as the Ultimate series now includes Crestron’s first Active Subwoofer, 3-in. in-ceiling speaker SKUs, and a brand-new dual tweeter version of the Crestron Ultimate IC8 speakers. 

The Crestron Ultimate Active Subwoofer made by Origin Acoustics delivers deep, impactful sound for extremely low frequencies, ideal for home theaters or game rooms. Constructed from premium carbon fiber materials with a unique design, this 10-in. 400W subwoofer can be mounted on its side, upright or on the wall.  Greater flexibility is enabled with the optional wireless extender kit, which allows the sub to sit up to 50 feet away from its content source. 

With 6- and 8-in. in-ceiling speaker options already available, Crestron’s new 3-in. Ultimate In-Ceiling speaker (IC3) is designed to deliver equally impressive sound from a much smaller footprint. A 100-degree conical dispersion lets the two-way, full-range IC3 produce excellent sound coverage throughout the space and its all-weather rating means it can be installed indoors or out, in both residential and marine applications. Best for new builds so it can disappear into the design of the space, the form factor of the 200W IC3 pairs perfectly with Crestron’s LED light fixtures so owners can enjoy a uniform aesthetic. 

Further rounding out Crestron’s in-ceiling options is the addition of the Dual-Tweeter version of the Ultimate In-Ceiling 8-in. speakers, which provides peak stereo output from a single speaker for demanding residential installations in small room applications like hallways and shower rooms. With weatherized construction, these solutions can also be installed for use in the patio, sauna, and swimming pool areas.
