3" Grille, High-Output, Small Aperture® Speaker with Offset Port
The SA63-7-ENC-R is a unique part of the Small Aperture® collection of in-ceiling and in-wall systems that provide high volume levels, deep bass, and wide coverage from a small 3” seamless flush round or square opening (Now available with 3-inch Microperf grille). The SA63-7-ENC-R's main feature is an offset port (2.5” offset on center), which allows the speaker port to be positioned close to the ceiling joists where applicable. The offset port may be necessary to place the speaker grille in line with light fixtures located near the joists. The James Loudspeaker SA series models are virtually hidden, yet provide the complete musical experience. Each unit has been engineered to integrate a multitude of designer demands. The no-compromise design solution crafted for the meticulously artful and audio enthusiast alike. Each system is a true full-range, 3-way design with a 0.75” (19mm) aluminum dome tweeter, 2” (50mm) aluminum midrange driver and a 6.5” (165mm) aluminum mini PowerPipe subwoofer. Designed for whole-house audio installations, the SA63-7-ENC-R is especially suited for high-end homes where quality listening is paramount, and aesthetics are equally as vital. The point source mid/high module provides an excellent off-axis response, and the hidden mini PowerPipe woofer generates bass down to 38Hz for a truly full-range music experience, yet the user only sees a 3” round or square seamless flush opening. The grille configuration also accepts industry-standard mounting and fits high-end lighting trim kits to allow the speaker to match lighting fixtures in the same installation.
James Loudspeaker offers a wide variety of port options, even matching light fixture trims with custom matching trims. Often light fixtures are installed against or very near ceiling joists. If that is the case, in order to line up the speaker ports with the light fixtures, we need to provide the subwoofer assembly with an offset port. Then the port can be positioned closer to the joist.
This model of Small Aperture can be ordered with shorter brackets that can collapse down to 7 5/8” and expand to 13”. Please specify, at the time of order, if a smaller bracket is needed.

"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."
