series speaker for Home Theater applications. The ev
ō
Q™ 5000
Angled In-Ceiling Speaker (P/N HT5655) employs drivers
mounted at a 15° angle (see

characteristics as the ev

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).
