Stealth that Draws Attention
Proprietary driver technology and an extensive feature set establish the IC6 as the benchmark among 6” in-ceiling speakers for price versus performance.
The Kin Architectural IC6 seamlessly integrates into any living space but their stunning performance will inevitably draw attention. Due to its remarkable 75-degree dispersion, the KIN IC6 is easy to place in any room and can play much larger room envelopes than most architectural speakers. Totem’s signature powerful bass, smooth highs, and natural vocals are evenly spread throughout the room. A Low Volume Intelligibility switch even ensures that sound is as rich and detailed in applications where low volume listening is required.
KIN IC6 intermixes harmoniously with any existing traditional, on-wall, or architectural Totem speaker for a variety of multi-channel options. Kin Architectural models have stainless steel, magnetic grills and hardware so they’re weather resistant and ready for the outdoors under covered areas and soffits.

Features in Detail
Enormous Dispersion
KIN IC diffuse sound in an enormously wide, expansive manner comparable to a flood light and illuminate a room with Totem’s holographic sound whereas most others function like a focused, narrow spotlight, creating small acoustic “hot spots”. The dispersion is almost twice that of competitive speakers, so it takes fewer Totem speakers to thoroughly fill a room, and listeners enjoy the same sound whether seated or standing.
Construction / Ease of Installation
Stainless Steel Hardware
Stainless steel hardware and grilles resist corrosion and make KIN suitable for indoor high humidity applications like bathrooms and saunas, and even somewhat protected outdoor applications like soffits and gazebos.
Unified Framework Shield
A ribbed, connected cover protects the speaker from material within walls and ceilings during the installation process and reinforces the rigidity of the integral framework to eliminate resonance.
Heavy Duty Dog Ears
This dog ear system means the speaker installs smoothly, quickly, and easily in any situation. The robust clamping mechanism and drywall gripping teeth provides a rigidity that improves midrange accuracy and bass response.
Customized Poly Woofers in Stamped Steel Baskets
Polypropylene woofers are designed to our exacting standards for a high strength to weight ratio. Driven by a robust motor structure and powerful magnetic system, they produce powerful yet controlled bass.
Customized Tweeters
0.75” soft dome tweeter
A neodymium magnet in a chambered enclosure has high excursion ability, measures flat out to 30kHz, and an unbelievably low 750Hz resonance frequency. A modified version of the tweeter found in the higher end Kin architectural back box models, it provides crystal clear highs. Pivoting tweeter faceplate aims the directional high frequencies towards the listening area.
