Dual's DC265C, sold individually, offers clear, detailed sound, and a neat, clutter-free look. It installs directly in your ceiling, and features a grille that you can paint to match your décor. The swiveling tweeter lets you aim the sound to best fit your space. Use a pair of DC265Cs to enjoy stereo music in your den, kitchen, or dining room. An optional in-ceiling bracket is recommended for installing the DC265C in a new home under construction (or in a room that's undergoing major renovation).

Features Overview: The Dual DC265C is a single, 2-way round, ceiling-mount speaker, part of the Architectural Series of speakers. The speakers are designed to work within nearly all interior decorating schemes where in-ceiling or flush-mounting is feasible. Woofers: The DC265C uses a black 6-1/2" polypropylene woofer with a rubber surround. Tweeters: The DC265C has a 1" silk dome tweeter. The tweeter can be swiveled to adjust the angle, up to approximately 20°. The tweeter is wired with a special protection circuitry. Inputs: The speaker's spring loaded posts will accept pin connectors, single banana plugs, or bare wire up to 12 gauge. The speaker terminals are silver plated for corrosion resistance and maximum signal transfer. Paintable: Both the frame and grille can be painted to match the ceiling or wall. A plastic paint shield is included to protect the speakers. Installation: After a 7-5/8" diameter cutout is made, the speaker is installed in the hole and held in place by a rugged plastic screw-set bracket. The only tool required (after the hole is cut) is a #2 Phillips head screwdriver to tighten the clamps. The clamps spread up to 1.375", so they should cover almost any application (most drywall is 1/2" thick). The required depth to install this speaker is 4". Note: Adding 3 to 4 inches of insulation or damping material behind the speaker generally improves the sound quality. Product Reviews Be the first to review this product.
