Episode SIG-36-POINT Signature 3 6-Inch Point Speaker

Directional In-Ceiling Sound for Offset Listening Areas

The Episode SIG-36-POINT Signature 3 Series is a passive 6" in-ceiling point speaker designed for rooms where the speaker must be installed overhead but sound needs to be directed toward a seating or listening area. Its 15° angled driver orientation and adjustable tweeter provide more directional control than a conventional straight-down ceiling speaker.

Use it for media rooms, living rooms, whole-home audio, and other spaces where ceiling placement is fixed but the primary listening position is not directly underneath the speaker.

Who Should Choose the SIG-36-POINT?

Choose the SIG-36-POINT when a ceiling speaker needs to direct more of its output toward an offset sofa, seating area, television, or listening position.

For rooms where broad, straight-down coverage is the priority, compare it with the Episode SIG-36-IC 6" In-Ceiling Speaker.

15-Degree Directional Design

The speaker's acoustic assembly is angled approximately 15° to help direct sound toward the intended listening area rather than only downward from the ceiling.

Episode specifies a 120° listening angle, supporting broad coverage while still allowing more intentional sound placement than a conventional down-firing design.

6-Inch Polypropylene Woofer

The forward-set 6" injection-molded polypropylene woofer handles low and midrange frequencies. Episode tunes the Signature Series around low distortion, wide dispersion, and a flat frequency-response approach.

Adjustable Silk-Dome Tweeter

A 3/4" silk-dome tweeter can be adjusted to further direct high-frequency output toward the listening position.

Episode uses a vented tweeter pod designed to lower tweeter resonance and support a lower crossover point for wider dispersion.

Amplifier Compatibility

The SIG-36-POINT is an 8-ohm passive speaker with 89 dB sensitivity and requires a compatible amplifier or AV receiver.

Episode specifies 130W peak power handling. Do not treat this figure as RMS or continuous power handling.

Installation Dimensions

• Finished diameter with grille: 11"
• Ceiling cutout: 9.7" diameter

Confirm joist spacing, ceiling depth, wiring, HVAC, plumbing, and other obstructions before cutting the ceiling.

Push Lock by Swarm Mounting

Episode's Push Lock by Swarm mounting system uses a tool-free locking mechanism to secure the speaker in the ceiling. The system supports both one-step and two-step installation workflows.

The SIG-36-POINT also supports compatible Episode cradles, grilles, flush-mount accessories, and an optional direct-mount backbox.

Speaker Wire

Use appropriately rated speaker wire sized for the amplifier, speaker load, and wire-run distance.
