**PACK OF 2** 6.5" Shallow Mount Coaxial In-Ceiling Speaker

Ideal Use Cases

This two-speaker package is designed for in-ceiling audio projects where space above the ceiling is limited. Each FAP63TC-W uses a shallow-mount format and tuned enclosure, making the pair suitable for layouts that cannot accommodate a deeper loudspeaker assembly. The coaxial 6.5-inch design also addresses projects that need broad coverage from ceiling locations, with a specified 110-degree dispersion pattern for each speaker. Because the speakers support both 70V/100V operation and 8-ohm bypass, the package can serve either a distributed-audio layout or an 8-ohm system when those electrical requirements match the system design.

Why Choose This Model

The central advantage is electrical flexibility within a shallow ceiling format. A 32-watt 70V/100V transformer provides 4-, 8-, 16-, and 32-watt tap choices, allowing the installer to select a listed power setting for the system plan. An 8-ohm bypass adds a separate operating option when transformer-based distribution is not required. At 8 ohms, each speaker is rated for 75 watts continuous and 150 watts program. This pack supplies two identical FAP63TC-W speakers for projects calling for two ceiling locations, with the same transformer, impedance, coverage, and output specifications available at each position.

Installation and Integration

Integration begins with selecting either the 70V/100V transformer connection or the 8-ohm bypass according to the amplifier and system architecture. For transformer operation, the available settings are 4, 8, 16, and 32 watts, with 32 watts representing the transformer’s highest listed tap. For 8-ohm operation, system planning should account for the stated 75-watt continuous and 150-watt program ratings. The shallow mounting profile is intended for areas with low clearance above the ceiling, while the tuned enclosure is part of the loudspeaker design. UL1480a and UL2043 safety listings provide documented certification information for evaluating the speaker against applicable project requirements.

Performance Highlights

Each coaxial loudspeaker has a specified frequency response of 80Hz to 20kHz, covering its stated operating range from upper bass through high frequencies. Sensitivity is rated at 90dB at 1 watt and 1 meter, giving system designers a defined reference point for output calculations. The 110-degree dispersion specification describes a broad coverage pattern and can help inform speaker placement and spacing. These performance figures work alongside the selected power configuration: 4 to 32 watts through a 70V/100V line or the stated continuous and program power ratings when using the 8-ohm bypass. The published figures make amplifier matching and coverage planning more concrete.

What Makes It Different

The FAP63TC-W combines several defining attributes in one ceiling speaker: a 6.5-inch coaxial format, shallow-mount construction, a tuned enclosure, multi-tap 70V/100V transformer operation, and an 8-ohm bypass. This combination differentiates it from a ceiling speaker that supports only one wiring approach or requires more space above the ceiling. Its 110-degree dispersion, 90dB sensitivity, and 80Hz-20kHz response provide specific benchmarks for comparing coverage and performance. UL1480a and UL2043 listings add documented safety certifications. This listing is specifically for two speakers, so the supplied quantity can be incorporated directly into placement and coverage planning.

Final Assessment

The AtlasIED FAP63TC-W pack is a focused option for a two-position in-ceiling system where shallow mounting and flexible electrical integration are priorities. Its principal attributes are the 32-watt 70V/100V transformer with four selectable taps, 8-ohm bypass, tuned enclosure, and broad 110-degree dispersion. The published 90dB sensitivity and 80Hz-20kHz frequency response provide the core performance data needed for comparison, while the 8-ohm rating of 75 watts continuous and 150 watts program clarifies that operating mode. The product carries a warranty period of 60 months from the date of purchase. It is best evaluated by matching these documented specifications to the intended amplifier, ceiling clearance, and coverage plan.
