Klipsch DS-160CSM 6.5 Inch In-Ceiling Speaker Dual Tweeter Design

The Klipsch DS-160CSM is a 6.5-inch in-ceiling speaker that delivers stereo sound from a single speaker, making it ideal for smaller rooms and space-conscious audio installs.

Built for rooms where installing a traditional left and right speaker pair is not practical, the Klipsch DS-160CSM gives you full, balanced stereo audio from one discreet ceiling speaker. Its 6.5-inch polypropylene woofer and dual 1-inch silk dome tweeters with Tractrix horn design help produce clear highs, smooth mids, and solid bass, while the low-profile paintable grille keeps the finished look clean and modern. It is a smart fit for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and multi-room audio zones where one speaker needs to do more.
