6.5“ 3-Way Full-Range - 3” ceiling opening
Unlike anything you have seen or heard, James Loudspeaker has raised industry standards once again. The SA63-8 has a small width print with an 8-inch depth and is best suited for in-ceiling applications. The Small Aperture in-ceiling/in-wall speakers have a very small 3-inch round or 3x3-inch square sound aperture yet pack in a full 3-way speaker system for deep bass and wide frequency response (Now available with 3-inch Microperf grille). A seamless edge detail keeps SA speakers looking smart and modern yet discrete. The SA63-8's aircraft-grade aluminum enclosure was designed with a slender 8-inch width for newer, more constricted ceiling construction. This system includes a mini PowerPipe 6.5-inch subwoofer, 2-inch midrange, and ¾-inch dome tweeter for wide 38Hz to 22kHz response. Having a real subwoofer also allows the system to play at higher output levels. Deep bass and high SPL from such a small, barely visible opening are the key objectives of the SA Series. Premium components and modular design provide long life and easy service, while an internal protection circuit offers the utmost reliability. The SA series is designed to also accept industry-standard lighting trim kits to allow integration with similarly styled lighting products.

A short installation video on how to install a James Loudspeaker sheetrock trim kit for the Small Aperture® series. For demonstrational purposes half of the trim kit is left exposed.
"David D'Onofrio of custom integration company Realm in Norwalk, Connecticut, explains to CE Pro why 90% of its projects include James Loudspeaker small aperture speakers."
Joe DeMarco says he was so impressed by James' outdoor technology that he went out to visit the company to learn more.
Professional Audio Video Engineering (PAVE) in Nashville works with James Loudspeaker to outfit a luxury penthouse with 20 Small Aperture speakers, subwoofer and a 1.5" tall custom SoundBar.
"Our relationship with James Loudspeaker is an integral part of our business," says Stafford. "They don't know the word 'no.' At times I have actually told them that I wish they could train others."
"I can't tell you how many custom products I have done in the last 10 or 15 years with James," says Stafford. "Every time I throw something at them, they throw it back, and it outperforms what we really wanted. If other manufacturers could follow that pattern, I would be very happy."
