Speakercraft AIM7Two Fully Pivoting High Fidelity In-Ceiling Loudspeaker - Each
The SpeakerCraft tradition of innovative design, combined with one of the most extensive engineering efforts in this industry's history, has led to the creation of the patented AIM series of fully directional in-ceiling loudspeakers. Each model can be entirely pivoted towards the listener while remaining discretely recessed behind a flush-mounted grille. If listening position or tastes change, the speaker can be easily aimed in another direction with a simple push of the hand. The AIM7 Series features fully pivoting woofers and independently pivoting tweeters, allowing the entire speaker to be aimed toward the listener. Speakercraft was the first company to introduce a pivoting speaker. They patented the design and will defend their right to be the only company to offer their dealers this superior technology.SpeakerCraft's AIM technology was first utilized in a 6" ceiling speaker. The ability to focus the sound toward the listening area was instantly recognized as a tremendous advantage and the popularity of these speakers once again confirmed the fact that SpeakerCraft is the industry leader.After years of dominating the in-ceiling category, our engineers revisited the original AIM series with the goal of squeezing even more performance out of the 6" format. The result of this effort is the AIM7 series. Utilizing what we learned from creating other AIM speakers, we were able to increase the woofer size a full inch in diameter without enlarging the outside dimensions of the s
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Spectacular design and construction yields superior sound
We used this speaker to replace the center speaker in our home theatre system. It has always been a problem to hear voices, which were slightly muffled and muddy because of its position below the television (the only way to make it centralized), and because of the surround sound, a 5:1 plus subwoofer. You can hear the movie next door while not being able to hear many voices in a movie. This speaker has produced a noticeable clarity to the speech track in broadcast programs and in digital movies and even in the treble of music.

Another interesting part is that I am not aware that the speaker is mounted in the ceiling. The voice track images perfectly. It sounds like the speech is coming from the actors themselves. I was worried that it would sound separate from the surround sound environment but it has integrated perfectly.

This speaker is a two way speaker and the tweeter can be aimed specifically to optimize the sound directly toward the listeners. The...

Clear, crisp, stunning sound!
This speaker has made me wish I had the ability to put these in every room in my house with a television.

The sound is so crisp. Beyond that, this speaker can be put anywhere you want; the ceiling, the wall. Wherever you need it, you can install it. We debated for a long time on where to put this, but finally decided to install it right above the couch. I'm so glad we did. It really is like a movie theater experience now, only I think it sounds better! So many surround sound systems have me thinking a sound is coming from my right or left. With this speaker mounted above, it truly showers the entire sound "field" with whatever you are watching or listening to. I think that is the ultimate goal of surround sound. You shouldn't be distinguishing right from left. You should be hearing it from all over and with this speaker above the couch, I am. Very pleased.
Great, High Quality Directional Speaker
I got one of these speakers to try out and was impressed by how well constructed the speaker was. An innovative pivoting and rotating woofer is backed by some heavy-feeling impressively intricate hardware that impress with their looks as well as sound.

The limitation of in-ceiling speakers is that the sound isn't focused toward your ears, as is preferable for higher tones, and this product solves that problem well. It still sometimes feels like the sound is coming from "up" instead of "behind", but at least you can aim the tweeters to minimize the effect.

The 1" soft dome tweeter provides abundant detail and clarity, generating solid and focused imaging for all sound sources in a spacious sound stage. Designed for a broadened listening sweet spot, the tweeter employs a diffuser to assist off-axis response as well as a pivoting mechanism to achieve proper aiming. Perfect integration between the tweeter and woofer is achieved through a 12dB crossover network with a compensation network. Once installed and setup, the M-6S projects a realistic sound stage with excellent resolution.


Specifications
- Woofer: 6.5" Mica-Polypropylene Cone, Butyl Rubber Surround
- Tweeter: 1" Pivoting Silk Dome, Ferrofluid Cooled
- Crossover: 12dB/Octave with Compensation Network
- Frequency Response: 60Hz-22kHz ±3dB

Great Speakers!
At $30 a pop its really hard to go wrong here. They are heavy duty, each weighs 5-6lbs as described. I don't have a receiver yet but hooked it up to an old stereo and cranked it. You aren't going to get much base with this system. I guess that's why you need a sub-woofer. I'm looking into the Polk 12" woofer now and Denon 7.1 receiver. I still need 3 more and looking to buy another set. As long as you have a good set up with solid signal and good cables you can't pass up these speakers. I gave it 5 stars because I am not a big audiofile, so i can't say if these are better than other speakers out there. I'm sure there are better speakers on the market, just not at this price. But again, the sound is good, just no bass. I will mention i used 14 gauge RCA brand wire with gang plate and banana connectors for easy connections. The speakers were packed very well and look great on my walls :)

Great!!
I first bought one just to test it. I was really impressed with the sound, they gave out a nice FULL range sound, and crisp highs. i went ahead and bought the 2nd, and rears speakers. they look great on my wall. definitely a great speaker for the price!! BUT!!! the only DOWNSIDE! is that a couldnt find a center channel speaker to complete my set up. OTHER THAN THAT GREAT DEAL! VERY HAPPY...(UPdate: i stand corrected! found a center channel)
Elegant, Beefy crossover, Gold plated terminals
After an extensive research I decided to purchase 4- M-6S 6 1/2" two way speakers and one Micca 3 way 5 1/4 center channel. The quality and price were mayor factors in my decision. Micca shipped the products promptly with free shipping. I am using a pioneer digital receiver and a 10" Polk audio powered sub woofer. The TV is a 64" L.E.D Samsung Smart TV. After carefully installing all the speakers and calibrating the system via an external microphone the sound was amazing. The speakers are professionally made. Elegant, Beefy crossover, Gold plated terminals, etc. I have been installing sound systems for over 25 years.I have seen many speakers and for the price and quality, these are a smart buy. Make sure you get a professional to install them in order to get the best out of them, sit back and enjoy!

Fantastic
Bought 4 of these speakers a couple of weeks ago. Installation was a breeze. My expectations were not very high for such cheap speakers but after I got them setup, I could not be more pleased! They have plenty of power (all 4 are downstairs in various rooms covering roughly 1400 sqft and it sounds awesome) and are very pleasing to the eye - you really have to be staring at your ceiling to see them. I have absolutely no complaints!

Worth every penny!
Speakers arrived on time; very well packaged. I (like others) was slightly skeptical with the low price, but ordered them based on other reviews. No complaints whatsoever. They sound fantastic --- sharp and clear lows/mids/highs. I'll be using them mainly for background music, but I have no doubt they could blow the windows out of the house without distorting. For reference, I have BOSE "virtually invisible" speakers in my home theater, and they sound exceptional -- but NOT BY THEMSELVES -- they require a separate subwoofer. These speakers (having 8" woofers) are FINE by themselves. If you want (in-ceiling) music in your family room, kitchen, whatever, don't hesitate to buy these; you'll be happy!
Installation Details Revealed
I'll get right to some installation details that I didn't know until I unpackaged them:

INSTALLATION: To my surprise (disclaimer: these are my first in-wall speakers), these speakers install just like an "old work" electrical box. That is, they have screws accessed from the front that have plastic flaps on the far end that tighten around already-installed drywall/plaster/plywood/other. This actually makes installation extremely easy, assuming you can access your speaker wire through your new ceiling hole. The reason I'm mentioning this, though, is it actually makes my life slightly more difficult, as I was planning to install these in an as-of-yet unfinished attic room (no ceiling, just joists) so I can listen to my Death Metal through my whole-house-audio system without moving speakers attached to terminals around as I work.

FYI, per the manual, the cutout hole needed is 9-3/8" diameter, the outer diameter of the speaker frame is 10-3/4", and the mounting...

Great Speakers
I have purchased Dual 5.25" 2-way as well as 6.5" and 8" Micca speakers for my 7.1 Yamaha surround sound system. Sound quality is superb. Templates, instructions, self-securing brackets built into wall/ceiling speakers make their installation a breeze. Tweeter can be oriented towards target zone. The Dual speakers work very well for front center and side speakers, and size perfectly for easy fit between wall studs for installation. Middle speakers (back speakers for 5.1 system) need to be 8" Miccas, due to their greater bass output. Don't need that bass output for front speakers due to use of subwoofer providing all bass needed. The smaller 6.5" speakers work well as rear speakers in 7.1 system. Great quality, economic price, easy installation. No drawbacks. Highly recommend.

Great sounding speaker
I purchased this speaker for my center channel in my home theatre and for the money I think I made the right decision it sounds nice and clear and people are amazed about the sound quality that comes out of these speakers. I would highly recommend these speakers
Easy to Install -- Sound Great
I'm not an audiophile and I've never had any other in-wall speakers, but these things sound good to me for $45/piece.

I hooked up four of these to an old receiver and it was groovy. Install was probably 1 hour a speaker including running cable in my walls.

Install is pretty easy with the included template. I recommend you tape down the template, drill holes in each corner of the template and then cut the walls with your drywall saw.

I did buy some fiberglass insulation (ie. the "Pink Stuff") and stuffed a few layers behind each speaker. I didn't try them without the insulation, as the manufacturer recommends you insulate the speakers. It makes intuitive sense to me to insulate them.

I thought the mounting brackets and grille on the speakers are a little jenky, but for the price I can live with it.

Great value, excellent sound
I bought a pair of Micca M-6Cs to replace a pair of aged & failing ceiling speakers. They sound great -- not a booming bass, but decent -- nothing a subwoofer somewhere in the neighborhood can't easily augment. The rest of the sound is solid, clear and well balanced.

While they are indeed 6.5" speakers, the very nice quick mount and grill system they come with is slightly larger. No big -- If you're replacing some existing 6.5" speakers, you can unscrew the speakers and the crossover system from the mount, hot glue the crossover to the magnet backside and install in your existing speaker box and hole. The crossover board has some nice speaker line in quick attachment buttons.

Bang for the buck and then some
Wow, I'm really quite impressed by these inexpensive speaker. Our home system has grown organically over the years and we wound up with different speakers in every room. My girlfriend and I both prefer these over all the others and that includes both Bose and Polk speakers, hands down.

Build quality is excellent, the case (basically standard to all mfgs) mounts easily, the pc boards are very thick and populated with high quality caps and inductors, the attachment points are gold plated push studs, the speakers have nice size magnets without being grotesque and the basket assembly (stamped) is sturdy......all in all very solid.

Installation template was cake to use (the plaster ceiling wasn't, but that's another story altogether) and the included grills fit nice and snug.

They look great, they sound even better, totally happy with the purchase and about to get another set for the bedroom.
Great value
Bought 4 of these for in-ceiling audio in the office boardroom; and for this purpose they've been great. Installation features are excellent, have a very clean look once installed and sound pretty decent. For general purpose audio or soft background music, or perhaps surround channels for the casual home theater the audio quality is perfectly decent, but I would not consider this speaker for serious music listening at reasonable volumes. Not that the speakers have problem playing at volume, but at levels where the music is the focus of your attention the tonal qualities of the speaker become more apparent. Overall I think these speakers are excellent value and would not hesitate to buy again.
