About SpeakerCraft
SpeakerCraft started in 1976 as an audio retailer. Along the way we became a custom installation company, installing multi-room audio systems. SpeakerCraft is now one of the world's leading manufacturer of custom installation products, and their background as a custom installer and retailer has provided pretty good idea of what it is you want from a manufacturer. Their goal is to develop innovative designs utilizing some of the most state-of-the-art components and materials. Those efforts have earned many industry awards for products that break tradition and go a step forward to bring you tomorrow's technology today. For instance, SpeakerCraft was the first to invent in-wall speaker installation systems that do not require installing brackets in the wall first. They have improved the in-ceiling round speaker by inventing a method to greatly improve the high frequency response with a device called the WavePlane. First to produce pivoting tweeters and on some models the whole speaker pivots while still remaining flush with the ceiling. These innovations eliminate the placement concerns of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. With SpeakerCraft speakers you now can enjoy your beautiful interiors without sacrificing sound or quality and with the comfort of knowing that those speakers carry a lifetime warranty.

View Owner's Manual
Custom Round Series (CRS) speakers are specifically designed for in-ceiling applications. The series contains a variety of five-inch, six-inch and eight-inch two-way in-ceiling speakers. Several of these models incorporate our exclusive WavePlane" tweeter baffle.
WavePlane Technology
A speaker's tweeter produces high frequency, extremely directional sound. Its performance is critical to the resolution and definition of a speaker's output. Unlike conventional box speakers, co-axial speakers (where the tweeter is mounted OVER the woofer) do not have a flat tweeter mounting surface, or baffle, to accurately reflect the tweeter's high frequency sound waves. This results in uneven frequency response and a lack of definition. This problem is more audible when a speaker is mounted in a ceiling, since the listening area may not be directly under the speaker's placement.
SpeakerCraft cured this problem with the WavePlane" , an important advancement in co-axial speaker technology. It provides a solid surface for tweeter reflection and delivers clear, balanced, high frequencies toward the listener.
The WavePlane holds the tweeter directly over the center of the woofer. The WavePlane's louvered surface, both open and closed at the same time, provides a 95% solid area for the tweeter and a 75% open area for the woofer. The narrow, directional sound waves from the tweeter are directed off the surface and the large, non-directional, sound waves produced by the woofer pass through the channeled design of the WavePlane . The WavePlane produces an effect similar to the front surface of a box speaker's cabinet.
Several speakers in the Custom Round Series and the DT Series, use this unique design, but SpeakerCraft also makes lower cost models without WavePlane technology, for use in areas where ultimate sound quality is less critical.
