Ultra-Shallow 5-Inch Recessed Ceiling Speaker with Pre-Mounted ABS Backbox, Silk Dome Tweeter, and Ghost Frameless Grille for Tight Ceiling Cavities
The TruAudio Thin-Ceiling is a 5-inch two-way recessed speaker engineered for ceiling cavities where standard speakers cannot fit. At just 2.4 inches of total depth with the pre-mounted ABS backbox included, the Thin-Ceiling installs into shallow joist bays, solid ceilings, and conduit boxes without requiring a deep cavity behind the drywall. The 5-inch injected polypropylene woofer and 1-inch silk soft dome tweeter deliver 65Hz to 20kHz frequency response with 90dB sensitivity at 1W/1m, and 8-ohm impedance with 5 to 75 watts of power handling connects to standard distributed audio amplifiers.
The Thin-Ceiling features TruAudio's patented Ghost frameless grille with magnetic retention, available in round, square, and rectangular configurations to match the room architecture. The integrated backbox eliminates the need for a separate enclosure and provides consistent acoustic loading regardless of the ceiling cavity behind it, so audio performance remains the same whether the speaker is installed in a concrete ceiling, a solid-wall application, or a standard wood-frame cavity. The 5.8-inch cutout and 6.8-inch overall diameter fit common ceiling openings, and the optional RC-THIN rough-in ring simplifies pre-wire installation.
Where the Thin-Ceiling Fits
- Concrete ceilings, solid-wall installations, and conduit box applications where the pre-mounted ABS backbox provides a sealed acoustic chamber that eliminates the need for an open cavity behind the speaker, the 2.4-inch total depth fits into shallow spaces that standard in-ceiling speakers cannot reach, and compatibility with conduit boxes like the Spelsberg IBTronicsXL supports European-style construction methods
- Renovations and retrofit installations with limited ceiling depth where existing HVAC ducts, structural members, or second-floor joists leave less than 3 inches of clearance, the 5-inch woofer and silk dome tweeter deliver full-range sound despite the shallow form factor, and the Ghost frameless grille maintains the same invisible appearance as deeper TruAudio models
- Multi-room audio systems in modern construction where the 8-ohm impedance and 5 to 75 watt power handling work with standard residential and commercial amplifiers, the integrated backbox provides consistent sound quality across rooms with different ceiling constructions, and round, square, or rectangular grille options match the architectural style of each space
What the Thin-Ceiling Delivers
- 5-Inch Woofer with Silk Dome Tweeter: Injected polypropylene 5-inch woofer and 1-inch silk soft dome tweeter in a two-way configuration. 65Hz to 20kHz frequency response with 90dB sensitivity at 1W/1m. 8-ohm impedance with 5 to 75 watts of power handling.
- 2.4-Inch Total Depth with Integrated Backbox: Pre-mounted ABS backbox provides sealed acoustic loading and eliminates the need for an open ceiling cavity. 2.4-inch total depth fits concrete ceilings, solid walls, conduit boxes, and shallow joist bays where standard speakers cannot install.
- Ghost Frameless Magnetic Grille: Patented Ghost frameless design with magnetic retention. Available in round, square, and rectangular configurations to match room architecture. Paintable to match any ceiling finish for a near-invisible installation.
- Standard Cutout with Rough-In Option: 5.8-inch diameter cutout with 6.8-inch overall diameter and 2.4-inch mounting depth. Compatible with RC-THIN rough-in ring for new construction pre-wire installations. Fits standard and non-standard ceiling configurations.
