Like all Totem speakers, this in-ceiling speaker is forgiving in terms of placement and designed to blend seamlessly with other Totem speakers so that no matter where you install them, you will be rewarded with incredible sound. All you will need is a snack, a drink and a comfortable seat!
The Tribe Architectural AIC speaker is one of the most advanced in-ceiling speakers in the world, taking advantage of the lessons learned from the development of Totem’s high-end Element speaker series. The remarkable engineering of this speaker allows it to rival the performance of the best in-wall speakers in the market, which is no easy feat. Unlike traditional in-ceiling speakers that make you look up because the sound is obviously coming from the ceiling, Tribe Architectural AIC brings the sound down to your ear level, whether you are sitting down or standing up.
Design Highlights
Immersive, accurate sound no matter where you sit in the room
Seamless sonic integration between all speakers, regardless of installation location
Higher performance compared to most in-wall speakers in the market
Utilizes technology borrowed from Totem's high-end Element speaker series
Sophisticated 1-1/8" tweeters feature Mundorf domes, massive Neodymium magnets and precision machined faceplates
4" Neodymium Actuated MHEX woofers feature multiple layers of phenolic honeycomb and woven synthetics, imported from Japan, that are extremely rigid. Inverted dust caps smooth out the higher frequencies for a perfect blend with the tweeters
5" passive radiators are made of a proprietary compound of metals chosen for their strength to weight ratios. They are unyieldingly rigid yet perfectly weighted, so bass is both forceful and musical
Hand-assembled crossovers are constructed using the finest available parts from around the world that far surpass the quality of parts used by competing products. Highlights include exotic capacitors from Mundorf, Rel-Cap and ClarityCap, military-grade resistors from Ohmite, as well as silver and oxygen-free copper wiring
Angled baffle allows placement tight to walls while directing sound to the listening area
Screw cutouts in the framework for flush-to-stud installations where clamps cannot deploy
High-torque angled wall clamps for an even structural tension
Rear-wire management channels
Integrated wood back box ensures reliable and superior performance
