Unlike entry-level models, the Helos 12 features a high-excursion 6.5-inch aluminum cone woofer. Aluminum's inherent stiffness and low mass allow the driver to respond with incredible precision, delivering deep, clean bass and a transparent midrange that remains consistent even at high volume levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComplementing the powerful woofer is a 1-inch soft-dome tweeter designed for smooth and natural high-frequency reproduction. This combination provides a wide frequency response of 47 Hz to 20 kHz, ensuring that you hear every detail of your music or film soundtracks. With a robust power range of up to 200 watts, this speaker is capable of filling large rooms with rich, dynamic sound, making it a top-tier choice for primary LCR channels or high-end multi-room audio systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Helos 12 is built with professional installation in mind, featuring a round profile and a micro-perforated magnetic grille that sits nearly flush with the ceiling. The grille is fully paintable, allowing the speaker to disappear into your interior design. Whether you are building a dedicated media room or a luxury whole-home audio network, the Helos 12 delivers the legendary performance and refined engineering that MartinLogan is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top:25px; margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePremium Aluminum Driver Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.5-inch aluminum woofer for rigid, precise, and impactful bass response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-inch soft-dome tweeter for smooth and articulate high frequencies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-excursion rubber surround for long-term durability and accurate movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePowerful and Versatile Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtensive 20–200 Watts power range for high-dynamic overhead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide frequency response (47 Hz – 20 kHz) for full-range audio clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-ohm impedance optimized for high-quality home theater receivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProfessional Architectural Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-profile, paintable magnetic grille for a seamless, hidden appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReliable spring-post connectors for a secure and simple wiring setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid build quality designed for consistent performance in various ceiling types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudio Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTweeter: Soft-Dome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTweeter Size: 1 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWoofer Size: 6.5 in (High-Excursion Aluminum)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrequency Response: 47 Hz – 20 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSensitivity: 89 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImpedance: 4 Ohms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePower Range: 20 – 200 Watts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShape: Round In-Ceiling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCutout Diameter: 8.375 in (21.3 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMounting Depth: 4.4375 in (11.3 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuantity: Single Speaker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the benefits of an aluminum woofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminum is much stiffer than paper or plastic, which means the woofer maintains its shape better during heavy use.

Due to its high power handling and wide frequency range, the Helos 12 is an excellent choice for front Left, Center, or Right (LCR) channels in an in-ceiling home theater setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come with a back box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model does not include a built-in back box.
