Product Information
Enjoy stereo sound, from a premium in-ceiling speaker, with the SpeakerCraft AIM283DT.
Stereo sound from a single speaker
Ideal for when you want to use fewer ceiling speakers, the AIM283DT handles stereo sound via a single speaker. Including left and right inputs, two tweeters per channel and a twin voice coil woofer, the AIM283DT is all set for stereo sound.
Powerful, room-filling sound
Featuring an 8 inch, aluminium bass cone, the AIM283DT delivers an even deeper and richer sound than the smaller 273DT model. This makes it ideal for larger rooms, high volumes or just for when you want to hear more of the music’s lower range.
Designed to get the best from the latest home cinema formats
With ceiling speakers being asked to perform to much higher standards, the quality of design and engineering is more critical than ever. Object-based surround sound formats, such as Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro 3D demand the utmost precision and this is exactly where the SpeakerCraft AIM 8 TWO Series 2 excels.
Aim the sound precisely where you need it
What marks these ceiling speakers out is their huge range of adjustability. Both the main woofer and tweeter array feature +/-15 degrees of pivot. Added to this, the tweeter array rotates by nearly 360 degrees – giving you unprecedented levels of sound directionality adjustment.
Dual tweeter array, per channel, for enhanced clarity
Rather than using just one tweeter, the AIM 283DT incorporates a total of four (two per channel). Twin tweeter units build up the intensity of high frequencies, which is especially important in a ceiling speaker as the top-end can often sound ‘lost’.
All-aluminium speaker array for enhanced detail and power handling
The AIM 283DT builds on the 282 model by offering an all-aluminium speaker array. Aluminium is both light and rigid, making it fast to respond to a signal. It’s this speed that makes it possible to hear even the slightest changes in musical detail.
Focused sound through WavePlane and Vortex Eliminators
Working together with the tweeter array, WavePlane technology acts as an acoustic lens. The powerful high-end response is focused across a broader area than usual, giving a wider spread of full-range sound. Vortex Eliminators reduce the ‘tunnel effect’ of traditional ceiling speakers meaning everyone in the room gets to hear all the detail.
Adjustable treble
Depending on your room’s acoustics and personal taste, you can boost or reduce the treble response by +/- 3dB. If, for example the room has a hard floor and is sparsely furnished, a drop in treble output may be desirable. The counter is often true for heavily furnished rooms with thick carpets and curtains.
Part of a family
As part of the THREE level speaker range, the AIM283DT is sonically matched to the rest of the speakers in the range. This means you can use different models in other rooms, or even the same room, without there being a change in key sound characteristics.
Get powerful stereo sound overhead, from a single speaker, with the SpeakerCraft AIM283DT.
