Director D55EX In-Ceiling Loudspeaker

Tool-Less Installation

Interchangeable, secure, elegant. This is the way in-ceiling loudspeakers are meant to be installed. The Director Collection utilizes our tool-less mounting system to provide secure installation in any ceiling. The spring-loaded clips with multiple points of contact ensure the weight is distributed more evenly than traditional dog-legs which protects your ceiling and decreases unwanted vibration transfer.

IPX65 Rated Options

The IPX65 Rated D55EX Speaker & DBA5EX Subwoofer models are available to continue the ambiance in any location where moisture is a possibility. Built to maintain the rest of our Explorer model EX standards, they have been tested safe and robust enough to handle outdoor eves, saunas, and even yacht or marine installs.

Dual Plane Stabilized Diaphragm (DPSD™)

A patented tweeter design that improves high-frequency performance, the DPSD™ radiator uses a unique suspension design that prevents distortion and increases loudness. The suspension is attached at both the voice-coil and the peak of the dome allowing the driver to be crossed over at a much lower frequency. This results in improved dispersion and decreased distortion.

X-Wave Woofer Surround

When a speaker cone reaches its limit of movement and comes to a hard stop, unwanted waves ripple up and down the cone. This is much like a wave hitting the edge of a pool and reflecting back in the center of the water. Our X-Wave Woofer Surround progressively absorbs that impact, preventing unwanted sonic distortion and improving the overall fidelity of the loudspeaker.

Compression Molded Woofer Baskets

Using time tested and true technique of compression molding, we are able to design and produce woofer baskets that are both highly stable and acoustically neutral. The end result is a reduction in distortion without coloration from the basket itself.

Magnetic Grille

A paintable, perforated grille with a micro bezel covers the entire speaker assembly and leaves a discreet finished appearance. Its magnetic attachment makes removing or replacing the grille fast and easy.
