3" Grille Small Aperture® Speaker
The SA63-4 is part of the Small Aperture® collection of ceiling and in-wall systems that provide high volume levels, deep bass and wide coverage from a small 3” flush and seamless round or square opening. Now available with 3-inch Microperf grille option. James SA Series models are essentially hidden, yet provide the complete musical experience. Each unit has been engineered to integrate a multitude of designer demands, the no-compromise design solution 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” (89mm) aluminum midrange driver and a 6.5” (165mm) aluminum mini PowerPipe subwoofer, all concentrically mounted. Designed for whole-house audio installations, the SA63-4 is especially suited for high-end homes where critical listening is paramount and aesthetics are equally as vital. Measuring in at less than 4" deep, these units are especially suited for in-wall applications as they fit nicely into any 2x4 stud bay. The point source mid/high module provides excellent off-axis response and the hidden mini PowerPipe woofer generates bass down to 48Hz for a truly full-range music experience, yet the user only sees a 3” round or square seamless flush opening. The grille configuration has industry standard mounting and accepts high-end lighting trim kits to allow the speaker to match lighting fixtures in the same installation.
The SA63-4 conforms to UL2043 and UL1480 standards for fire safety and plenum use.

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."
