Meet the KIN IC8 Slim
The Totem Kin IC8 Ultra Slim In-Ceiling Speaker (Pair) is designed for installations where full, enveloping sound is needed but mounting depth is limited. With an 8-inch carbon fiber woofer, ceramic dome tweeter, shallow-profile construction, and Totem’s holographic voicing, this architectural speaker pair delivers a large, immersive soundstage while remaining discreetly installed overhead.
8-Inch Slim Design Carbon Fiber Woofer Ceramic Dome Tweeter Pivoting Tweeter Paintable Magnetic Grille
For distributed audio, theater effects, and larger rooms where stronger output is needed from a discreet in-ceiling format, this pair offers the scale and coverage expected from a larger architectural speaker.

Technology & Design
Wide architectural dispersion — Totem designs the KIN IC Slim series to disperse sound broadly throughout the room, helping reduce narrow acoustic hot spots and making the listening experience more consistent whether seated or standing.
Carbon fiber woofer performance — the polymer-impregnated carbon weave woofer is both stiff and light, helping it maintain shape during demanding bass output while reacting quickly for improved clarity and transient speed.
Ceramic tweeter refinement — the aluminum dome receives a ceramic coating to increase stiffness and damping, helping move resonance beyond the audible range for cleaner high-frequency reproduction.
In a properly planned architectural system, the Totem Kin IC8 Ultra Slim In-Ceiling Speaker (Pair) provides strong output, wide coverage, and a clean visual finish for rooms that need serious sound without visible speaker cabinets.
