ArtSound SQ2060 (pack of 2)
Overview
A 1 mm thick grille, a frame less than 5 mm once installed: the SQ2060 perfectly illustrates the philosophy of the Intiimi range, whose Finnish name evokes purity. Behind this deliberate discretion hides a 2-way coaxial speaker capable of sound reinforcement for rooms up to 50 m², the result of over two years of development by ArtSound’s Belgian team.
One-piece construction for interference-free sound
The front and basket of the SQ2060 are molded from a single piece of ABS, a technical choice that eliminates structural weak points and considerably reduces unwanted vibrations. This overall rigidity ensures that the energy produced by the drivers is converted into sound rather than unwanted resonances in the chassis. The metal grille, held in place by magnets, features an exceptionally fine mesh that preserves the dispersion of sound waves while providing an effective barrier against dust.
Installation is carried out using screw-on mounting clips, a proven method that ensures a firm hold without the need for specialized tools. The required cutout of 210 × 210 mm remains compatible with most drywall or suspended-ceiling configurations.
A pivoting tweeter adjustable to the room’s acoustics
The 25 mm titanium dome tweeter features a custom design with a neodymium magnet and patented suspension. Its orientation is adjustable, allowing you to direct the high frequencies towards the main listening area even when the speaker cannot be positioned optimally. A three-position switch (-3 dB / 0 dB / +3 dB) allows you to adjust the treble level to tailor the sound signature to the room’s acoustics or personal preferences.
The 15 cm mid-bass driver, also equipped with a neodymium magnet, handles the frequency range down to 58 Hz. The coaxial architecture places the tweeter at the center of the woofer, ensuring spatial coherence of the sound regardless of the listener’s position.
Two-stage crossover for a more refined signal
The SQ2060 features an advanced crossover that works in two stages: a dividing network splits the frequencies between the two drivers, while a correction filter smooths the response curve to iron out irregularities. This approach contributes to a carefully balanced tone across bass, midrange, and treble, with a presentation the manufacturer describes as warm and detailed.
The variable impedance of 4 to 8 Ω makes the speaker compatible with the majority of hi-fi or home cinema amplifiers on the market. The recommended power range (40 to 140 W) offers comfortable headroom: a small integrated amplifier is enough for an average-sized living room, while a more powerful model will fully exploit the dynamic potential in a large space or for cinema use.
Integration and finish customization
The original white grille can be painted to match the color of the wall or ceiling. ArtSound also offers “Flush Mount” installation kits that allow perfectly flush integration: the grille then sits exactly level with the surface, without any visible protrusion. Hydrophobic MDF back boxes are also available to improve low-frequency performance when the speaker is installed in an open cavity (attic, technical suspended ceiling).

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the SQ2060 be used as a ceiling speaker?
Yes. The speaker is designed for in-wall or in-ceiling installation. The pivoting tweeter allows you to direct the high frequencies towards the listening area even in horizontal mounting. A “Flush Mount” kit is available for perfectly flush integration with the ceiling surface.
Which amplifier should I choose to power a pair of SQ2060?
Any amplifier delivering between 40 and 140 W into 4–8 Ω is suitable. For standard home music listening, an integrated amp providing 50 to 80 W per channel is more than enough. For home cinema or large rooms, opt for the upper end of this range.
Can the SQ2060 be combined with other models from the Intiimi range?
Yes, the range includes rectangular models (RE2060), round models (RO2060), and a more powerful three-way model (RE2080). They share the same sound signature and can be combined according to the architectural constraints of each room.
Is the SQ2060 waterproof?
No, this speaker is not designed for humid environments. For a bathroom or outdoor installation, ArtSound offers waterproof models in other ranges.
