Applications

The Director D65 is suitable for a wide range of applications, thanks to its robust construction and superior acoustic performance.

Home Theater Systems: The D65 can be used as part of a home theater setup, providing clear and dynamic sound for movies and television. Its ability to handle both high and low frequencies makes it ideal for a full-range surround sound experience.

Multi-Room Audio: The speaker's discreet design and powerful sound make it an excellent choice for multi-room audio systems. Whether in the kitchen, living room, or bedroom, the D65 provides consistent and high-quality sound.

Commercial Spaces: The D65's durability and sound quality make it suitable for commercial environments, including retail stores, offices, and restaurants. Its aesthetic design ensures it fits into any decor, while its robust sound ensures that background music or announcements are clear and audible.

Advanced Driver Technology

The Director D65 utilises a sophisticated driver configuration to ensure a rich and detailed audio experience.

Injection-Molded Graphite (IMG) Woofer

Material and Design: The woofer is constructed from Injection-Molded Graphite (IMG), a material known for its strength and low weight. This construction allows the woofer to deliver accurate, deep bass responses with minimal distortion. The lightness of the IMG material helps in achieving a quicker transient response, meaning the woofer can start and stop quickly, accurately reproducing low-frequency sounds without muddiness.

Performance: The woofer's design ensures a robust and dynamic bass response, making it ideal for a wide range of music genres and movie soundtracks. It is capable of handling the power needed to reproduce low-end frequencies with precision, offering listeners a full-bodied sound experience.

Aluminum Tweeter with DPSD™ Technology

DPSD™ (Dual Plane Stabilised Diaphragm) Technology: This technology helps the tweeter achieve higher output levels and lower distortion by stabilising the diaphragm's movement. The result is a clearer and more detailed high-frequency response.

Pivoting Design: The tweeter can pivot, allowing installers to direct high frequencies toward the primary listening area. This feature ensures that even off-axis listeners experience clear and detailed highs, making the D65 versatile for different room layouts and installation positions.

Acoustic Performance

The Director D65 is designed to deliver a wide and natural soundstage, ensuring immersive audio across various applications.

Frequency Response: The speaker covers a frequency range from 45Hz to 20kHz, ensuring that it can reproduce everything from deep bass to delicate high notes. This wide frequency response makes it suitable for both music and dialogue, delivering clear and balanced sound.

Sensitivity: With a sensitivity of 91 dB, the D65 is highly efficient, capable of producing substantial volume with less power. This efficiency allows the speaker to work well with a wide range of amplifiers, including those with lower power outputs.

Impedance: The speaker has a nominal impedance of 6 ohms, providing a good balance between compatibility and performance. This impedance level allows the D65 to be used with most amplifiers and receivers without issue.

Innovative Design and Construction

The D65 is built with precision and care, incorporating features that enhance both performance and durability.

X-Wave™ Surround Technology: This technology minimises distortion and cone break-up modes, providing a cleaner sound at all volume levels. By controlling the surround's behavior, X-Wave™ technology ensures that the woofer and tweeter perform optimally, delivering a more coherent and detailed sound.

Compression-Molded Woofer Basket: The woofer basket is crafted using compression molding techniques, ensuring high rigidity and stability. This construction minimises resonances and vibrations that could otherwise color the sound, resulting in a purer audio output.

Ease of Installation

Origin Acoustics has designed the D65 with installers in mind, offering several features that simplify the installation process.

Tool-Less Mounting System: The D65 includes a tool-less mounting system that allows for quick and secure installation. This system uses a spring-loaded mounting mechanism that snaps into place, ensuring the speaker is securely fastened to the ceiling.

Magnetic Grille: The speaker comes with a low-profile, paintable magnetic grille that blends seamlessly with the ceiling. This grille can be easily removed for access or customisation, and its magnetic attachment ensures a tight fit without visible screws or fasteners.

Origin Acoustics Director Series ceiling speakers are engineered for high-fidelity audio and easy installation.
