About the IC8-AW
The MartinLogan IC8-AW in-ceiling speaker delivers trademark MartinLogan sound quality in humid environments where conventional speakers cannot be used. It features a conformal-coated crossover for water resistance, a specially coated grille for moisture stability, and a robust 8-inch mineral-filled polypropylene woofer for powerful low-frequency performance. Part of the Installer Series, it includes a titanium dome tweeter that is ferrofluid damped and cooled for smooth, clear highs, a proprietary Vojtko crossover topology for low distortion, and a robust mounting-lock system with paintable micro-perforated bezel-free grilles for nearly invisible installation. Ideal for covered patios, bathrooms, and kitchens, it supports wire up to 12AWG via spring-loaded binding posts.
