NHT - N-iC2-ARC - 6.5" In-Ceiling Speaker (Single) 

The ic2 ARC is our relatively affordable high end, Dolby Atmos ready, in-ceiling speaker that features an Anti-Resonance Casting (ARC) chassis, our patented 3-tweeter array, 6.5" (165.1mm) woofer, and a low-vision magnetic grill.The iC2-ARC is a modern, 3rd generation, high-end in-ceiling speaker utilizing a number of unique technologies that work together to deliver an audio performance well beyond your expectations. 

Sold as single units rather than speaker pairs, iC2-ARC in-ceiling speakers can ideally be used for multi-room audio, as home theater speakers for any channel, in office commercial venues or anywhere you want affordable high-end sound hidden from view. Weather and moisture resistant materials make the iC2-ARC suitable for outdoor eventss, covered patios, and master bathrooms as well. 

The iC2-ARC features a beautiful, redesigned micro-perforated, bezel-less grill that attaches magnetically and reduces the installed footprint by almost 10% over its predecessor. The iC2-ARC ceiling speaker technologies include NHT’s proprietary 3-tweeter array to deliver the widest, sound field currently available in any ceiling mount speaker. The 3-tweeter array is nested in the center of a long-throw 6.5" (165.1mm) polypropylene woofer. These components are then assembled into the remarkable new Anti-Resonant Casting or ARC “monocoque” chassis and 3-tweeter array sub-assembly to provide unprecedented strength and a lifetime of durability while acoustically reducing frame vibrations – “distortions” - to inaudible levels. 

Just before we install the speaker components, a smooth, rubberized paint finish process is applied to the chassis that works together with ARC to help reduce surface vibrations that can blur the sound. The iC2-ARC is also an integrated, serviceable design and features a bezel-less grill/frame design (no exposed frame lip or wide trim ring around the grill) and the beautiful micro-perforated grill attaches and centers itself magnetically! 

Simply said, with over 25 years of acoustic design under our belt, the iC2-ARC is simply NHT’s best mid-size ceiling mount speaker to date. For new construction (exposed ceilings joists), be sure to use the companion iCB6 pre-construction bracket that IS NOT used for retrofit application (existing structures).
