Applications

The Director D63 is versatile, making it suitable for various environments and applications.

Home Theater: The D63's wide frequency response and high sensitivity make it ideal for use in home theater systems, providing clear dialogue, detailed sound effects, and deep bass.

Multi-Room Audio: The D63 can be integrated into multi-room audio systems, delivering consistent sound quality throughout different areas of a home or commercial space.

Commercial Installations: Its discreet design and robust construction make it suitable for commercial installations, such as in restaurants, retail stores, and offices, where both audio quality and aesthetic integration are crucial.

Driver Configuration

The D63 features a two-way driver configuration designed to cover a wide frequency spectrum with accuracy and clarity.

Injection-Molded Graphite (IMG) Woofer

The IMG woofer is designed for rigidity and lightness, ensuring minimal distortion and high efficiency. The material choice allows the woofer to deliver deep, accurate bass while maintaining a clean and natural midrange. The woofer's ability to move swiftly and precisely ensures that low-frequency sounds are reproduced faithfully, providing a solid foundation for the overall audio output.

Pivoting Aluminum Tweeter

The aluminum tweeter is lightweight and highly responsive, capable of reproducing high frequencies with exceptional clarity and detail. The pivoting design allows the tweeter to be directed towards the listening area, optimising the sound field and ensuring a consistent listening experience across different seating positions. This flexibility is particularly useful in installations where the speaker placement cannot be perfectly aligned with the listening area.

Acoustic Performance

The D63 offers a comprehensive frequency response of 48Hz to 20kHz, ensuring that it can handle a wide range of audio signals from deep bass to sparkling highs. This broad frequency range makes it suitable for various applications, from music playback to movie soundtracks.

Sensitivity

With a sensitivity of 91 dB, the D63 is efficient at converting electrical power into sound. This high sensitivity means that the speaker can produce a high volume level with relatively low power input, making it suitable for use with a wide range of amplifiers, including lower-powered models.

Impedance

The nominal impedance of 6 ohms provides a good balance between power handling and sound quality. This impedance level ensures compatibility with most home audio amplifiers and receivers, allowing the D63 to be easily integrated into existing audio systems.

Innovative Design and Construction

The D63 incorporates several advanced design elements to enhance its acoustic performance and ease of installation.

X-Wave™ Surround Technology

The X-Wave™ surround technology is used in the woofer design to minimise unwanted resonances and distortions. This technology allows the woofer to move more freely and accurately, ensuring a smoother and more natural sound output. It also helps in reducing the "pistonic" motion of the woofer, resulting in lower distortion levels and clearer sound.

Compression-Molded Woofer Basket

The woofer basket is made from a compression-molded material, providing superior structural rigidity and thermal stability. This design prevents unwanted vibrations and flexing, which can degrade sound quality. The robust construction ensures long-term durability and consistent performance, even under high power levels.

Ease of Installation

The D63 is designed for quick and easy installation, featuring Origin Acoustics' patented tool-less mounting system.

Tool-Less Installation

The D63 can be installed without the need for additional tools, thanks to its secure mounting mechanism. This feature saves time for installers and ensures a tight and secure fit in the ceiling, minimising the risk of any rattle or unwanted noise during operation.

Magnetic Grille

The speaker comes with a low-profile magnetic grille that can be easily attached or removed. The grille is paintable, allowing it to blend seamlessly with the ceiling for a discreet appearance. This design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also protects the speaker components from dust and debris.

Origin Acoustics Director Series ceiling speakers are engineered for high-fidelity audio and easy installation. They feature pivoting DPSD™ (Dual Plane Stabilised Diaphragm) tweeters, allowing precise sound direction, and utilise advanced materials for clear, distortion-free audio. The series offers models in various sizes, with tool-less installation and seamless integration into any ceiling. The speakers are designed for both residential and commercial applications, providing powerful performance with aesthetic minimalism.
