Totem Acoustic Tribe Architectural AIC (each) - White

Description

High-Fidelity Audio from a Discreet In-Ceiling Solution
The Totem Tribe Architectural AIC is a high-performance angled in-ceiling speaker engineered to deliver immersive, full-range sound while blending seamlessly into architectural environments. Drawing from the innovations behind Totem’s Element series, this speaker leverages cutting-edge driver technology and premium construction to rival the acoustic performance of top-tier in-wall speakers. Its angled baffle design brings the sound down to the listening plane, creating a compelling three-dimensional soundstage for music and cinema applications alike.

Precision Engineering and Advanced Components
At the core of the Tribe AIC is a proprietary array of custom-built transducers. Dual 4" Neodymium Actuated Enriched MHEX woofers, composed of phenolic honeycomb and woven synthetics, deliver fast, tight midbass with outstanding transient response and low distortion. They are paired with dual 5" Metal Amalgamation passive radiators, precisely weighted to produce controlled, musical bass from a sealed enclosure. A 1 1/8" oversized soft dome tweeter with Mundorf dome and ferrofluid cooling provides effortless treble extension, optimized for wide dispersion and smooth integration in D’Appolito alignment.

Massive Dispersion and Sonic Uniformity
Unlike conventional in-ceiling speakers that create narrow acoustic “hot spots,” the Tribe AIC features nearly double the horizontal dispersion of competing products. Its wide 3D soundfield ensures consistency across the room, whether listeners are seated or standing. This expansive output reduces the number of speakers needed to fill a space and creates a lifelike holographic soundstage that makes voices and instruments feel truly present.

Durable Construction with Integrated Back Box
Designed to perform regardless of installation environment, the Tribe AIC features an integrated wooden back box for optimal acoustic loading and driver protection. Unlike metal or plastic enclosures that can introduce resonance and distortion, the wood enclosure ensures clean, undisturbed output. High-torque angled wall clamps and rear wire management channels streamline the installation, while flush-mount screw cutouts accommodate tight stud proximity.

Hand-Selected Components for Audiophile Performance
Each Tribe AIC speaker is meticulously assembled with top-tier components sourced globally. Mundorf, Rel-Cap, and ClarityCap capacitors, military-spec Ohmite resistors, and pure silver or oxygen-free copper wiring ensure signal purity and long-term reliability. Gold-plated spring terminals support traditional, bi-wire, or bi-amp configurations, accepting a variety of connectors including bare wire, spades, and banana plugs.
