Overview
Sonus faber Palladio PC-683 – 3-Way In-Ceiling Speaker
High-End Sound. Hidden in Plain Sight.
The Sonus faber Palladio PC-683 brings the Italian craftsmanship and acoustic engineering of the Olympica Nova Collection into a discreet, high-performance architectural loudspeaker.
Designed for luxury residences, dedicated home theaters, and sophisticated whole-home audio systems, this three-way in-ceiling speaker delivers Sonus faber's signature Natural Sound while preserving the clean lines of your interior.
With an 8-inch woofer, dedicated midrange driver, and Damped Apex Dome (D.A.D.) tweeter, the PC-683 offers a sophisticated solution for listeners who demand exceptional sound without traditional loudspeaker cabinets.
Three-Way Architecture. Exceptional Versatility.
At the heart of the PC-683 is a carefully engineered three-way driver configuration.
A 1.1-inch D.A.D. tweeter handles high frequencies, a dedicated 3.1-inch midrange reproduces the critical vocal range, and an 8-inch woofer provides the foundation for low-frequency performance.
This architecture makes the PC-683 an attractive choice for premium distributed audio systems, immersive home theater installations, and dedicated listening spaces where ceiling-mounted speakers are preferred.
Italian Craftsmanship Meets Architectural Design
Inspired by the Olympica Nova Collection, the PC-683 incorporates refined leather detailing around its drivers, bringing Sonus faber's unmistakable design language to architectural audio.
The included magnetic, edgeless round metal grille can be painted to match the ceiling, allowing the speaker to blend seamlessly into its surroundings.
An optional square grille provides additional flexibility for contemporary interiors and architectural layouts.
Engineered for Professional Installation
The PC-683 is designed with custom integration in mind.
Its swing-out mounting system allows secure installation into plasterboard, while an optional pre-mounting kit supports new-construction projects.
With a mounting depth of approximately 5.7 inches, the PC-683 offers a practical solution for installations where performance, aesthetics, and available ceiling space must work together.
Whether you're building a private cinema or designing a complete architectural audio system, the PC-683 combines sophisticated engineering with the flexibility required for custom installation.
