Sonodyne SIC 3460 Specifications

What the Specifications Mean in Practice

Our notes on reading these numbers — LiveInSmart guidance, not manufacturer claims.

• **Sensitivity 90dB (half space)** — each 3 dB more sensitivity needs roughly half the amplifier power for the same loudness. This is an efficient speaker for most AV receivers.
• **Nominal impedance 8Ω** — an 8-ohm load is easy for almost any AV receiver or amplifier.
• **Recommended amplifier power 50 ~ 100W** — a range published by Sonodyne, not a requirement to buy the largest amplifier. Room size and listening level decide what you need.
• **Frequency response 70Hz ~ 20kHz (-3dB)** — the low figure shows how much bass the product produces before a subwoofer is needed.
• A specification does not guarantee a listening result — room size, furnishings, placement and calibration change what you hear.

Who Should Consider It

Typical uses for the SIC 3460:

• Surround or height channels in a false ceiling
• Background music in living, dining and bedroom areas

When Another Option May Suit Better

You may prefer a different configuration if the ceiling is a concrete slab with no false ceiling — on-wall speakers are easier.

What Else You Need for a Working System

A passive speaker that needs an AV receiver or power amplifier channel. Final matching should be checked by an audio consultant against your room and equipment.

• Sonodyne IWO 812 — 2 1/2 way, bass reflex on-wall/in-wall speaker
• Sonodyne DE 4380 — 8 channel power amplifier
• Sonodyne Sonus 3540 — monopole surround channel speaker
• Choose a matching AV receiver — Denon, Marantz and Onkyo models with full specifications

Room and Installation Guidance

What we check when installing this product:

• Confirm false-ceiling depth and clearance before cutting
• Avoid light fittings, AC ducts and beams
• Run cable before the ceiling is closed
