Renowned speaker designer Andrew Jones paid a visit to Crutchfield headquarters when we picked up ELAC's speaker line. His passion and enthusiasm for creating affordable, high-performance speakers was on full display. The Debut IC-D61-W in-ceiling speaker is a clear reflection of Jones' vision. It delivers dynamic sound that's ideal for an in-ceiling music system. Or, use a pair for your home theater's surround or Dolby Atmos® overhead effects channels.
The ELAC IC-D61-W's high-quality voice coils and crossover network combine for clear, crisp sound.
I love how ELAC combines detailed musical performance with a sleek design. The IC-D61-W includes a paintable, magnetic grille that you can match to your room's décor. The zero-bezel edge means no bulk around the sides of the grille, making it virtually disappear into your ceiling.
ELAC's rotating-cam design makes your in-ceiling installation straightforward. Once you have the IC-D61-W in place, simply use a screwdriver to tighten each cam for a secure grip against the back of the ceiling.
If this is a do-it-yourself install, check out our guide to installing in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, along with our selection of in-wall speaker wire.
They sound great, but installation was tough! It was very difficult to get the speakers secured into the ceiling. Certainly something needs to be done to correct the installation issue, but otherwise, the speakers are great.

Elac Debut Custom Install Series: The ELAC Debut Series Custom Install series speakers are designed to accurately reproduce the full-range of music and film sound, while requiring absolutely no floor space. This compact format is ideal for applications where traditional loudspeakers would be impractical or impossible. In-wall & in-ceiling speakers are ideal for surround sound applications, anywhere space is a consideration, or to bring music into additional rooms of the house.
Two-Way Driver Design: The Elac Debut IC-D61-W in-ceiling loudspeaker features a two-way driver design with a 1" tweeter, one 6.5" woofer, and a 3,000Hz crossover. Both the tweeter and woofer have been custom designed by Andrew Jones to deliver an exceptional audio experience that can't be delivered with typical off-the-shelf parts.
Magnetic Grille: The included magnetic grille fits easily onto the IC-D61-W in-ceiling speaker after installation. The grille features an edge-to-edge, low-profile design for a more seamless, consistent look that blends with the ceiling more attractively.
Spring-Post Speaker Terminals: The Elac Debut IC-D61-W in-ceiling loudspeaker is outfitted with spring-post terminals to attach your in-ceiling speaker wire. The spring-post speaker terminals will accommodate up to 14AWG speaker wire. The terminals will also support single banana plugs. For shorter distances up to 25', 18AWG speaker wire will be sufficient. For longer distances, 16AWG speaker wire should be used.
Note: Do not use nails, staples or other metal objects to secure the speaker wire. The resulting short-circuit could affect your system's performance & could also damage components in your system, especially the amplifier. To minimize interference & external hum keep the speaker wires away from other electrical wires and cables.
In-ceiling Installation: The Elac Debut IC-D61-W mounts in a 8.125" (diameter) round cutout opening in your ceiling with a mounting depth of 4.375". Use the included template for proper cut-out of drywall. Your ceiling needs to be 0.25" to 0.75" thick. Allow at least 1.5" of clearance between the ceiling cut-out and any studs or joists. Four "dog-ear" clamps secure the speaker to the ceiling.
Speaker Placement: Once installed, in-ceiling speakers are not easily repositioned or moved. Please take a bit of extra time to carefully consider the best speaker locations before you begin. Each room is unique, so decide what works best for you.
Applications: This speaker is perfect for most applications for home theater & music, providing extremely accurate reproduction of the entire frequency range.
