SA Small Aperture® Series

SA853Q-9

High Output Small Aperture Ceiling Speaker

Unlike anything you have seen or heard, James Loudspeaker has raised industry standards once again. The James Small Aperture® ceiling/in-wall speaker features a 8.5” round or 7”x 7” square sound aperture, yet packs a full 3-way system experience for deep bass and wide frequency response. A seamless edge detail keeps 853 looking smart and modern yet discreet. The SA853Q-9 includes a mini 8” PowerPipe subwoofer, 5.25” midrange, and ¾” dome tweeter in quad array for wide 30Hz to 20kHz response. Having a real subwoofer allows the system to play at loud levels. The deep bass and high SPL produced causes a second take!

The all aircraft-grade aluminum construction and modular design provide long life, easy service, and high reliability. The SA853Q-9 is bi-amped and has a small footprint with a 9” depth, best suited for in-ceiling mounting.

Order woofer enclosure, mid-range module, and grille kits separately. Custom and wood trim kits available and quoted individually.

This model of Small Aperture ships with a 16″ stud bay bracket as standard. The 16″ stud bay bracket can collapse down to 10” and expand to 16”. An optional 24″ stud bay bracket can be ordered (range of 14″- 24″). If the 24″ bracket is required, please specify at the time of order.

This speaker can be ordered in 70V which will include a 50W transformer on the mid/high and a 100W transformer for the subwoofer section. Bi-ampling still required.

SA Small Aperture Series

SA Small Aperture®

James Loudspeaker has always sought to push the envelope when it comes to better solutions through innovation, and nothing reflects that commitment like our Small Aperture® (SA) Series. These barely visible ultra-high-performance architectural speakers have been created to redefine the concept of a décor-matched entertainment system. The SA Series is unlike anything you’ve ever seen or heard, reproducing sound with the refinement of a more costly studio monitor.

The engineering behind Small Aperture is the culmination of extensive hours in the lab and a relentless passion for the art of recreating sound. Each one of the SA Series models can be mounted either in-ceiling or in-wall, with only a relatively tiny opening exposed to the listener. To trim this opening, James

Loudspeaker offers a vast array of standard and custom finishes for the low-profile grille, which is available in 3-inch or 4-inch round or square flush mount style. (Now available with 3-inch Microperf grille.) Inside each of the SA speakers is a powerful yet compact subwoofer, coupled with a module that handles the midrange and high frequencies. We think the sound quality is nothing short of staggering, with detailed bass notes reaching down to 38 Hz and dispersion that covers a sizable area. We encourage anyone and everyone who loves music to audition the James Loudspeaker Small Aperture Series.
