8 Inch In-Ceiling Speaker With Anodized Aluminum Woofer And Pivoting 1 1/4 Inch Anodized Aluminum AccuAim Tweeter, Toolless Install

Introducing Nice Premium Toolless Speakers:

Nice speakers are an evolution of Nice/SpeakerCraft™ — the inventor of architectural speakers. Nice is proud to build upon this legacy, leveraging decades of expertise and innovation to produce some of the finest products on the market.

Innovative Solutions

Nice SC 2 delivers high-performance for home entertainment and media. Deep anodized aluminum woofers and tweeters, Kapton former material, and an asymmetrical 3rd order crossover takes the series into the stratosphere. These lightweight and durable materials deliver low distortion, exceptional dynamics, and enhanced soundstage. Nonconductive Kapton improves magnetic field stability. The series 2 models include 6.5″ down firing and fixed tilt, and 8″ in-ceiling speakers, as well as a dual 5.25″ in-wall speaker. The 8″ model features a 1.25″ tweeter! The crossover is an asymmetrical 2nd-order low pass filter on woofer 3rd-order high pass filter on tweeter, designed to optimize each driver’s performance with improved phase alignment with a 3-position tweeter level switch for fine tuning the high frequencies. Nice Premium Toolless Speakers deliver elevated audio performance with advanced materials, toolless installation, and uncompromised design. Encompassing three levels of performance across 14 models, the series delivers a solution for most architectural speaker applications. From whole home music, and media rooms, to dedicated home theaters, and even high-moisture environments like outdoor patios or bathrooms. The speakers in each level are voiced to work coherently within the range delivering a complementary balanced and dynamic sound across all applications throughout the home. The entire range boasts a suite of innovative features and benefits. Proprietary AccuAim technology enables precise, lockable tweeter positioning for enhanced phase accuracy, XmaG extended pole pieces for improved symmetry, meticulously engineered high-end crossovers for optimized driver performance, and time saving ViseLock™ designed by Swarm — the latest generation toolless system for rapid and secure installations — up to 75% faster!

AccuAim allows the tweeter to click-lock into a fixed angle that can be precisely replicated on other speakers in the system. This improves phase accuracy to pinpoint the sweet spot, and fine tune the soundstage.

ViseLock™ designed by Swarm, allows a rapid toolless install with the benefits of a patented clamping system of spring-loaded doglegs that snap into place instantly, securing the speaker. Thumb-levered cinches, lock and hold the installation for added stability, preventing spring sag for many years of service.

Go the extra mm Traditional pole pieces allow a magnetic gap in which the voice coil leaves the primary magnetic field resulting in non-linear response and distortion, especially at higher levels.

XmaG precision pole piece extends significantly beyond the woofer’s voice coil travel path ensuring a consistent magnetic field, this results in a more linear response at all levels, lower distortion and clearer, more accurate sound reproduction. Loud and Clear!

Metal is stronger than Plastic Custom designed metal frames are stiffer and more stable, with less transmission loss through the ceiling than typical injection molded frames.

Rust Resistant Grills All models include a paintable bezel-less stainless-steel grill, which resists rust naturally. In-ceiling models include a round grill, with a square grill sold separately. In-wall models include a rectangular grill.
