Micca R-8C 8" In-Ceiling/In-Wall Speaker

The Micca Reference Series R-8C is an 8-inch in-ceiling/in-wall two-way speaker with a pivoting 1" aluminum dome tweeter, tone controls, and a 9.5" cutout that delivers clear, room-filling sound without taking up floor space.

Compact but powerful, the R-8C is built for hidden installations in living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and dedicated home theaters. It combines a vented carbon/glass-fiber woofer and a swivel-mounted aluminum dome tweeter with selectable tone adjustments so installers and listeners can optimize tonal balance for each room and seating area.

How does the R-8C deliver clear audio in an in-wall or in-ceiling setup?

The speaker pairs a stiff, lightweight 8" carbon/glass-fiber cone woofer with a fluid-cooled 1" aluminum dome tweeter to reproduce both deep bass and crisp highs. The tweeter is mounted on a pivoting bridge so you can aim high frequencies toward the listening area for a more focused stereo image.

• 8" vented carbon/glass-fiber woofer for tight low-frequency response
• 1" pivoting aluminum dome tweeter for adjustable high-frequency direction
• 12dB crossover to smoothly divide frequencies between drivers
• 90dB sensitivity for efficient output at moderate amplification

What installation features make the R-8C suitable for rooms with limited space?

The R-8C uses a low-profile rimless grille with a micro-fine mesh that sits nearly flush with the wall or ceiling for a discreet appearance. Its 9.5" cutout and 4.75" mounting depth allow it to fit within typical stud and joist cavities while keeping the visible rim to a minimum.

• Rimless, low-profile grill for near-flush mounting and subtle aesthetics
• 9.5" cutout diameter and 4.75" depth for common installation spaces
• Durable construction rated for family rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and enclosed patios
• Simple installation with basic tools and standard wiring requirements

Can I tune the sound to match different rooms or seating positions?

Yes—both the woofer and tweeter have individual tone switches that let you shift response by ±3dB, which is useful when mounting near reflective surfaces or tailoring the speaker for background music versus critical listening. Combined with the pivoting tweeter, these adjustments help you achieve balanced sound without complex EQ.

• Tweeter and woofer tone switches: +3dB / 0dB / -3dB
• Selectable voicing for bright or softened high frequencies
• Ability to compensate for wall/ceiling acoustics and room reflections
• Works with a wide range of amplifiers at 8 ohms impedance

Who is this speaker for? The Micca R-8C is aimed at homeowners, integrators, and DIY installers who want high-quality sound from concealed speakers. It suits those building multi-room audio systems, upgrading a home theater with unobtrusive speakers, or anyone who needs reliable, tunable performance in rooms where floor space and visual clutter must be minimized.
