COMPACT FLUSH-MOUNT SPEAKER

PERFECT FOR CEILING AND WALLS

A round flush-mount speaker can give the maximum performance in the smallest space. Its shape is ideal for ceiling mounting, and matching the shape of round light fixtures. Yet many round speakers are designed to the lowest standards of performance allowable. Not so with the Snell AMC680r. The AMC680r utilizes our “Directed Power” tweeter, a custom waveguide, that gives the sound of a large full-range speaker. This deisgn feature alone surpasses all other round flush-mount speakers. The “Directed Power” tweeter gives near constant beamwidth over a much wider range of frequencies than “pivoting eye socket” tweeters. By aiming it at a 20 degree angle we can direct the energy toward the listening position and assure clarity and imaging that is remarkable for an in-ceiling speaker. Alternatively, when used as a surround speaker the

AMC 680 specifications

The Snell Acoustics AMC 680 is a highly regarded loudspeaker model, praised for its exceptional sound quality and innovative technologies. Designed with both audiophiles and casual listeners in mind, the AMC 680 aims to deliver a rich and immersive audio experience that is true to the original recording.

One of the standout features of the AMC 680 is its unique driver configuration. It employs a 6.5-inch woofer that is engineered to produce deep, punchy bass while maintaining clarity in the midrange frequencies. Accompanying the woofer is a silk dome tweeter, allowing for smooth high-frequency reproduction that captures the delicate nuances of vocals and acoustic instruments. This combination ensures a balanced sound signature, capable of reproducing a wide range of musical genres with accuracy.

The AMC 680 also utilizes a sophisticated crossover network designed to manage the transition between the woofer and tweeter seamlessly. This technology minimizes phase distortion and ensures that the listener experiences a coherent soundstage. The crossover frequency is meticulously chosen to enhance the overall listening experience, allowing different frequency ranges to blend beautifully without any noticeable dips or peaks.

Another notable characteristic of the AMC 680 is its solid cabinet construction. Built from high-density MDF, the cabinet is specifically designed to reduce unwanted vibrations and resonance, which can muddle sound quality. The internal bracing reinforces structural integrity, providing a stable platform for the drivers to perform at their best. The elegant finish of the cabinet further adds to the aesthetic appeal, making it a stylish addition to any audio setup.

In terms of connectivity, the AMC 680 is versatile, equipped with standard binding posts that accommodate a range of speaker cables. This allows users to easily integrate the speakers into their existing audio systems without hassle.

Finally, the AMC 680 offers excellent sensitivity, making it compatible with a wide array of amplifiers. Whether paired with a high-powered receiver or a modest amplifier, these speakers deliver impressive performance, ensuring that listeners can enjoy their favorite music at any volume level.

In summary, the Snell Acoustics AMC 680 combines a robust design, advanced technology, and superior sound quality, making it a standout choice for anyone looking to enhance their listening experience. Whether used for casual listening or critical listening sessions, the AMC 680 is sure to impress with its captivating performance.
