1. Introduction
On-Q/Legrand offers a 6.5", Angled, In-Ceiling, evōQ™ 5000
series speaker for Home Theater applications. The evōQ™ 5000
Angled In-Ceiling Speaker (P/N HT5655) employs drivers
mounted at a 15° angle (see Figure 1) to the ceiling surface.
This allows the speaker to have identical performance
characteristics as the evōQ™ 5000 In-Ceiling 6.5" Speaker (P/N
364660-01), from any listening position in the room. The speaker
is optimized for the demands of home theater sound. It employs
a 2-way design that features a Poly Cone woofer and a UFLC
(Urethane Film Laminated Cloth) Dome tweeter with swivel
capability. It comes with dual templates with center markings and
paint rings. Optional speaker pre-construction brackets are
available.
NOTE: Although this speaker uses a 6.5" driver, it is
mounted in an 8" speaker frame, which means it requires an
8" speaker pre-construction bracket (P/N 364673-02).
Disclaimer: Make sure you are in compliance with local building codes before installing this speaker.
This On-Q/Legrand evōQ™ 5000 In-Ceiling Speaker is suitable for moisture rich environments such as
bathrooms or saunas, but not outdoor applications.
