OSD Black Series R82DT

Features

2-Way Stereo Driver Design: The OSD Audio BK-R82DT in-ceiling loudspeaker employs a 2-way stereo driver design with two 0.75" silk soft-dome tweeters and one 8" graphite cone woofer for room-filling stereo sound.

Stereo Input: The BK-R82DT in-ceiling loudspeaker is outfitted with two sets of spring-post terminals to connect the left and right channels of your stereo amplifier. The spring-post terminals will accommodate bare wire (up to 12AWG), pin-connectors, and banana plugs (single only).

• For wire lengths of less than 50', use at least 16-gauge in-wall rated speaker wire (CL3/FT4).
• For wire lengths between 50' and 100', use at least 14-gauge in-wall rated speaker wire CL3/FT4).
• For wire lengths of greater than 100', use at least 12-gauge in-wall rated speaker wire (CL3/FT4).

Note: Your speaker wire must comply with all local building and safety codes for use in in-ceiling applications.

Tweeter Level: You can adjust the output level of the tweeter to -3dB, 0dB, or +3dB. The tweeter level control is located on the front baffle behind the detachable grille. Highly reflective "live" rooms benefit from a -3dB reduction, while fabric-heavy "dead" rooms will sound better with tweeter boosted +3dB.

Protected Crossover Network: The OSD Audio BK-R82DT utilizes advance crossover components including Mylar bypass capacitors to enhance high frequency extension for exceptional clarity and an "airy" response. Integrated plastic shields protect the components from debris and suffocating insulation, while integrated air vents keep things cool.

Applications: Because of its stereo design, the OSD Audio BK-R82DT is perfect for distributed audio applications where you want stereo sound, but only have room or the budget for a single loudspeaker.

Note: Volume controls (sold separately) can be a great addition to a system providing both proper impedance matching and more hands-on local control of the volume in the listening area. 

Mounting Options: The OSD Audio BK-R82DT features a "dog leg" (L-shaped) mounting system that is part of the frame to secure the speaker in the ceiling. The speaker requires a round cutout that measures 9.4375" (diameter) x 3.9375" (depth). Its outer frame measures 11.0625" (diameter) x 0.25" (depth). The "dog leg" (L-shaped) mounting system accommodates a 0.25" to 1.25" thick ceiling. Make sure to leave at least 0.75" of open space (without obstruction) around the cutout above the ceiling, so the speaker's "dog leg" mount system will have room to engage fully.

Note: Be sure that there are no studs, lengths of conduit, pipes, heating ducts or air returns in the ceiling cavity that will interfere with the speaker.

Low-Profile Magnetic Grille: The low-profile magnetic grille is removable and can be painted to better match the color of your ceiling. The low-profile grille only protrudes 0.25" from the ceiling's surface.
