    What is Tri-Mode?

    The ICTS 6.3/8.3 TriMode™ceiling mount speaker offers amazing versatility. With todays JIT (just in time) stocking strategy, we realize that it's not always useful to have a pile of speakers collecting dust in your warehouse as you "wait for the perfect job" to install and sell them. This fact is one reason we created the ICTS 6.3 and 8.3 in-ceiling mount Tri-Mode speakers.

    Tri-Mode Operating Modes

    • Mono - For broader coverage in mono or stereo applications, the dual voice coil woofer and dual tweeters will cover a much wider area than conventional in-ceiling speakers.
    • Stereo - The speakers can be wired to deliver full stereo sound from a single loudspeaker, giving you great sound quality with only one unobtrusive round ceiling grille showing. This application is perfect for distributed audio in tight spaces like powder rooms and hallways.
    • TriVector - Wired in this manner the speaker delivers a diffuse upper midrange and high frequency sound that helps to create involving surround sound that draws you into the action. Perfectly suited for todays open floor plan homes where a traditional side surround speaker cannot be accommodated.
