Description
Overview
The QI 65CW is a weather-proof 6.5″ in-ceiling speaker designed for both indoor and outdoor use (bathrooms, kitchens, patio, etc.). It features sealed drivers, corrosion-resistant grilles, and adjustable high-frequency trim for acoustic flexibility—all while maintaining a clean, flush mount aesthetic.
Top Key Features (and Why They Matter)
- Weather-proof Design – Withstands moisture and environmental exposure, making it ideal for wet or semi-outdoor areas.
- Adjustable HF Trim (±3 dB) – Lets you fine-tune treble to match room acoustics or reduce “brightness.”
- Magnetic Paint-able Grilles – Grilles can be painted and mount magnetically, giving a seamless look.
- Sealed Driver & Grille Assembly – Protects inner components from dust and humidity.
- Shallow Mounting Depth – Depth under 84 mm suits many ceiling cavities without major rework.
- Good Sensitivity – 87 dB at 2.83 V / 1 m ensures decent output for distributed audio zones.

Common Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can this speaker be used outdoors?
It’s weather-proof, so it can handle semi-outdoor or damp areas—but fully exposed outdoor placement (rain, direct sunlight) may still need additional protection.
Q: Does HF trim affect sensitivity?
Adjusting HF trim may slightly change perceived volume, but sensitivity rating (87 dB) applies at default trim setting.
Q: Is the grille flush-mountable?
Yes—the magnetic grille and bezel allow a nearly flush, clean appearance once painted.
