Its flush-mount design blends seamlessly into the ceiling.

Features

Stereo Everywhere Speaker Performance: Stereo Everywhere speaker performance produces balanced stereo sound over a wide area, unlike conventional home audio speakers that radiate sound mostly in a single direction. Bose Stereo Everywhere speaker performance delivers sound evenly throughout the listening area for balanced stereo sound wherever you listen, not just in one "sweet spot.

Drivers: The combination of two 1" dome tweeters and a 7" high-excursion woofer provides spacious stereo sound for your favorite music. You will also enjoy the deep low notes of dramatic movie sound effects. This makes 791 speakers ideal for a rear-channel option in a home theater setup. The tweeters are strategically positioned to eliminate the need to aim the speakers into the room.

  • 7" Woofer: A 7" high-excursion woofer delivers deeper low notes for more dramatic movie sound effects and musical richness.
  • Two Angled Tweeters: Two strategically positioned tweeters (array configuration) in each speaker eliminate the need to "aim" the speakers into the room. This lets you arrange your room with greater freedom.

Spring-Post Terminals: The Bose Virtually Invisible 791 in-ceiling speaker use spring-post terminals to connect your speaker wire (18-12AWG).

Mounting

In-Ceiling Installation: The Bose Virtually Invisible 791 in-ceiling speakers offer simplified installation with only four clamp screws that secure each 791 speaker to your drywall. The 791-series speakers also feature an infinite baffle design that uses the ceiling as the speaker enclosure. The infinite baffle design eliminates the need for a separate speaker enclosure, so it uses the space above the ceiling instead. Once you have positioned the speakers, just tighten the clamp screws and twist the grilles into place. The finished looked is unobtrusive, and almost invisible. You can even paint the speaker grilles to match your décor.

Note: Virtually Invisible 791 speakers are designed for in-ceiling installation only. They will not fit inside walls of standard 4" depth. Virtually Invisible 791 speakers can only be installed in wood frame construction covered with wallboard made of gypsum, plaster and lath, paneling or similar construction.

Paintable Frames and Grilles: Paintable grilles make it easy to match your décor. The grille frames install flush to your ceiling for a finished look and can be painted to match your decor. Paint masks are included to protect the speaker cones.

I installed them in my home. They are set in 5/8" drywall and installation was a cinch.

I have installed two sets in my house and had no issues and they sound great
richard  Mar 11, 2015

I installed these speakers in my kitchen at home . Easy install, but the sound is not what I expected. I was underwhelmed with the sound of them. I have a Denon 2312CI reciever. I called Bose about speaker placement and putting a box or insulation on top of them to help. They where helpful and polite but I am not impressed with the sound.
douglas m  Mar 11, 2015

We have not.
bob  Mar 11, 2015

I have 4 pairs in my house!! I love the sound quality! i paired them with Sonos. I ran all the wires. Once I cut the holes using the trace from bose it was easy. Hardest part was just getting another hand to make sure the speakers looked great in the ceiling when I was aligning them.

Q
Will these speakers vibrate if I install them in a suspended ceiling tile? Should I use a box behind them (P/N?).

Tim, These speakers for me do not vibrate. Mine are installed in a drywall ceiling. I am extremely please with these speakers. Bill
william  Jun 19, 2014

I installed them in a 5/8" drywall ceiling using the included clamps. I have played them at fairly high volume and no vibration. Hope this helps
craig m  Jun 18, 2014
A
We have not encountered a problem mounting the speakers in ACT. We do not install in a box, however Bose does not recommend this model be installed in an acoustical ceiling tile.
bob  Jun 17, 2014
A
Yes they will vibrate a dropped ceiling. It vibrates a little in my sheet rock ceiling and I used the metal brackets cutouts which attach to the ceiling joists in a new construction home.
mitesh  Jun 16, 2014
A
Sorry my ceiling speakers are on sheetrock
william b  Jun 16, 2014
A
I put mine in boxes to get better sound. They can vibrate if you turn the volume up high when listening to music. I installed mine in a custom built entertainment center built out of drywall and they would vibrate the walls.
marvin  Jun 16, 2014
A
Sorry, I have these speakers in several rooms, but they are all in sheetrock ceilings, not ceiling tiles.
