Description of OSD Audio ACE500 - Thin Bezel Trimless 5.25-inch In-Ceiling/In-Wall Speaker Pair - 75W

TRIMLESS DESIGN: The ACE500 In-Ceiling Speaker Pair combine elegant, modern style with outstanding audio performance. With a very thin trim line, about .15”, you won’t even notice there are speakers there until you hear them. MAGNETIC GRILLE: The extremely powerful magnets on these speakers keep the micro flange grilles attached and flush mounted for easy installation, giving the ACE500 a clean and sleek appearance. POWER: The ACE500 has 75 watts of high power handling to be useful in areas you don’t want large speakers invading your space but want great audio in your home. The sensitivity of these speakers is 89 dB. DESIGN: OSD’s ACE500 trimless thin bezel speakers creates a modern, seamless look and allows the speaker to blend easily into the ceiling or wall. It can be spray painted to match the decor for a visually aesthetic appearance. SOUND QUALITY: When mounted to a wall or ceiling, this speaker pair solves your audio placement problems and creates a more realistic sound image when compared to other in-ceiling speakers.

Keep up the good work Speakers

Quality looks good, will install soon and check sound quality. I've always loved OSD speakers in the past and will happily continue to review when I get my hands on them. Many Thanks.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Doesn't go well with everything

Great Surround Sound

These are great for filling in high frequencies, female voices, screeching cars, or anything from a Pink Floyd Animals album. I installed them as in-wall speakers at a height of 6 feet for surround sound. They fill in the gaps in things that the distortion won't let you hear. Super value for high frequencies.

Pros
  • Consistent Test Results
Cons
  • -

Great product, love it! Works great with Sonos amplifier.

great speakers I bought 1 pair of Kevlar ACE850 and 2 pairs of ACE650, the carbon kevlar design gives them a pretty good look. The materials are of very good quality, the volume and the sound are convincing, without distortions or annoying noises. The frameless design is ideal for combining beautiful ceilings with the best system.

Pros
  • Best in their niche
Cons
  • So-so

Wow! best value for money

I bought these for background music in my house. For the pair price I wasn't expecting much. I'm totally amazed. These things sound fantastic. The low frequency range is better than the 10" 3-way speakers I also bought. Remember to replace the 10" with these! The high frequencies are crisp and clear. I highly recommend these speakers having worked professionally in the home and car audio industry for over 40 years.

Pros
  • Good item
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

I had doubts about buying it for a long time, but I'm so glad I did.

Like most people I've been forced to buy more famous speakers. Didn't know anything about this manufacturer. I used Harmon bookshelf speakers with an HK receiver. I was tired of seeing visible speakers and wanted them to look cleaner. Based on the specs, price, and flush fit, I took a chance on these speakers. Installation was easier than I feared. The final look was exactly what I wanted. The most important aspect was the performance, wow! They handle the power with clarity even at high…

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Absolutely Great Speakers

I have listened to many speakers looking for good speakers for my home audio. This speaker is the best speaker I have ever heard, especially for the price. I've now installed a couple in my dining room and all I can say is that I didn't get good speakers - I got GREAT speakers! The tonal qualities are really good, the sound is clear and crisp with good bass. I will be buying more of these to complete the sound for the whole house and possibly more. I also have a pair of OSD Street Rock speakers

Pros
  • Like all others so far
Cons
  • Expensive

Installation Complete - Heads Up

Can't get it working for a few more weeks but would like to start a review to maybe help others. Mounting screws for ACE400 have very soft heads. I gathered a few on my first install attempt. I then attempted to thread the screws into the unmounted speaker and found that the levers that rotate and grip the backing of the drywall do not stay vertical and cause sticking. After fully tightening and then backing out each lever, I avoided further rounding of the heads. It seems that once caved in…

Pros
  • Everything is OK!
Cons
  • Short guide

Great sound, great looks, best price!

Very clean speakers. Very small footprint and minimal bezel. Magnetic cover which is much better than the old mesh attached to the ring. The sound is impressive for its size. I use them in 5.1 configuration for surround sound and music. Even the 4 inch center channel does a great job. I recommend purchasing a Milwaukee adjustable hole saw. I used this and it cut perfect holes. It also has a ceiling mount dust collector. You need to be careful when cropping as the frame is tiny. The quality…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Upgradeable
