We live in the details. As the only speaker manufacturer solely dedicated to architectural audio, we’ve developed the Director Collection to exceed your requirements in a way no other company could. This collection was designed and voiced in Eugene, Oregon by the team who developed the first in-ceiling speakers over forty years ago. Each part is intentionally graceful, functional, and contributes to the larger whole.

The advancements of the Director Collection are unique to Origin Acoustics, and can only be found in our products. The speakers install into smaller cut-outs. We’ve chosen to use premium materials like Kevlar or Glassfiber, to ensure long lasting clear audio. The unique tool-less installation system makes upgrading to whole home audio quick and easy. And our speakers have the most flexibility in aiming, ensuring you will always hear the audio as it was intended.

If you need more than basic, you need Origin Acoustics Director Collection.

Better bass response and greater output level in the Director 80 series is obvious the moment it goes active. Its most amazing feature is fitting all of this performance into a flush mount package the size of a standard 6” ceiling speaker. The Director 80 series is available in five performance levels and sets a new sonic standard for speakers in this diameter.

Director Technology

The entire speaker pivots allowing the sound to be directed toward the listening area from anywhere in the room.

DPSD™ Tweeter

This patented tweeter has the greatest output and is able to crossover much lower to either the woofer or the midrange improving both dispersion and the frequency response.

Woofer Cone Materials

This patented tweeter has the greatest output and is able to crossover much lower to either the woofer or the midrange improving both dispersion and the frequency response.

Compression Molded Baskets

These complex baskets that support the woofer cones were computer designed and compression molded with absolute precision allowing for unique support and venting elements to assure peak performance.

TriLinear® Configuration (TLC)

The three-driver design is efficient and is more precise by dividing the frequency spectrum into smaller segments allowing the individual drivers to concentrate on a more limited sonic palette.

Tool-Less Mounting System

The Tool-Less Installation secures the speaker in the ceiling with the exact torque to ensure a tight fit. This is accomplished by squeezing the clips into place and locking the speaker with a twist.

X-Wave™ Woofer Surround

This suspension element absorbs unwanted frequencies that reflect up and down the woofer cone to reduce harmonic distortion while maintaining the desired linear travel of the woofer.

EQ Adjustment

These switches on the baffle allows the adjustment of the output of either the high frequencies or both high and low frequencies to custom tailor the sound based on the proximity ofthe architectural elements of the room.
