Passive Ceiling Speakers

Passive ceiling speakers need an amplifier in order to produce audio. Each speaker is wired back to the speaker outputs on the amplifier, or in some cases, you can daisy-chain the speakers between each other. They are great for home installations as when installed, they are discrete but also provide great quality audio.

If you are just after a single stereo ceiling speaker, you would want a ceiling speaker that has dual drivers for the left and right signals. By having two drivers in one casing, the stereo sound is achieved and this is great for smaller installations where you will only have one or two speakers in a single room.

Another great option that we offer in our passive ceiling speaker range is moisture-resistant speakers. These are perfect to be installed in a bathroom or kitchen as you don't have the worry of them getting wet and breaking from water damage. They can also be installed in places like garages or sheds where condensation is common.

100V line ceiling speakers are ideal for larger installations, such as audio systems that cover an entire house. Their design means that you can wire a larger number of them back to one compatible amplifier, and you can daisy-chain them together which means simpler installation.

Low impedance in ceiling speakers

Low impedance passive ceiling speakers are a popular option for home audio systems. Unlike 100V line speakers, which are mostly designed for commercial applications, low impedance speakers have a lower resistance, typically between 4 and 8 ohms. This makes them more efficient and better suited for use in smaller rooms, such as bedrooms, living rooms, and home theaters.

One advantage of low impedance passive ceiling speakers is their ability to provide high-quality sound in a compact design. Since they are mounted in the ceiling, they take up minimal space and can provide a clean, unobtrusive look. This makes them an ideal choice for homeowners who want to enjoy high-quality audio without sacrificing aesthetics.

Another advantage of low impedance ceiling mounted speakers is their compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. They can be connected to a wide range of amplifiers or receivers that support the correct impedance rating and wattage level, making them a versatile option for home audio systems. Additionally, many low impedance ceiling speakers come with built-in crossovers and other audio enhancements, which can help to improve sound quality and reduce distortion.

When it comes to installation, low impedance passive ceiling speakers can be relatively easy to set up, especially if you have some experience with DIY projects. However, it is important to note that you will need to run speaker wire from your amplifier or receiver to each speaker location, which can be a bit time-consuming. It is also important to ensure that your amplifier or receiver can handle the impedance of your speakers, as using the wrong impedance can lead to poor sound quality or even damage to your equipment.

100V line ceiling speakers for home

100V line ceiling speakers are a popular option for multi-room audio setups in homes, particularly in situations where multiple speakers need to be wired over a long distance. These speakers operate on a high-impedance (100-volt) line, which allows for multiple speakers to be wired in parallel without experiencing significant voltage drop or loss of sound quality. This makes them ideal for use in large homes or multi-room audio setups, where a single amplifier can power multiple speakers.

One of the key advantages of 100V line ceiling speakers for home applications is their ability to provide consistent sound quality across multiple speakers, even when wired over a long distance. With traditional low-impedance speakers, the longer the wire run, the more resistance the wire will add to the circuit, resulting in a drop in sound quality. However, with 100V line speakers, the high-impedance line can deliver a consistent level of power to each speaker, regardless of the length of the wire run. This means that homeowners can enjoy high-quality sound in every room of their home, without any loss of sound quality due to distance or wiring.

Another advantage of 100V line ceiling speakers for home applications is their scalability. Since multiple speakers can be wired in parallel, homeowners can add as many speakers as they need to create the desired audio experience throughout their home. Additionally, since 100V line speakers are designed to be installed in the ceiling, they can provide a clean, unobtrusive look that can blend seamlessly into any home decor.

Moisture-proof ceiling mounted speakers

Moisture-proof passive ceiling speakers are a great option for homeowners who want to enjoy high-quality audio in wet or damp environments, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and patios. These speakers are designed to resist moisture and humidity, which can help to prevent damage and extend their lifespan.

One of the key advantages of moisture-proof passive ceiling speakers is their ability to provide high-quality audio in environments that are typically not well-suited for traditional speakers. Since they are designed to resist moisture, they can be installed in areas that are prone to high levels of humidity or moisture, such as bathrooms or kitchens, without experiencing damage or degradation in sound quality.

Another advantage of moisture-proof passive ceiling speakers is their durability. Since they are designed to resist moisture and humidity, they are often built with materials that are resistant to corrosion and rust. This can help to extend their lifespan and prevent the need for frequent replacement.

When it comes to installation, moisture-proof passive ceiling speakers can be relatively easy to set up, especially if you have some experience with DIY projects. However, it is important to note that you will need to ensure that your amplifier or receiver is located in a dry location, as moisture can result in damage. Additionally, it may be necessary to use specialised wiring that is designed to resist moisture and prevent damage.

2-way in-ceiling speakers

Many of our in ceiling speakers have a 2-way, or coaxial, design, which means that each speaker has a separate woofer and tweeter driver housed in one unit. The frequency range of any audio content is distributed effectively between these separate drivers, which results in a concise and clear sound with good clarity and power across the whole frequency range.

There are also some ceiling speakers with directional tweeters, which allow you to aim the tweeter driver towards a listening area for a clearer sound. This is particularly useful for entertainment purposes in rooms like living rooms, offices, or home theatres, as the sound can be fully directed for the best clarity when enjoying audio content.

Single stereo ceiling speakers are another option, which are single units designed to reproduce a stereo signal effectively in one room. These speakers use two tweeters that aim away from each other - effectively directing the left and right audio signals to each end of the room for a stereo effect. These units are good for smaller rooms such as bedrooms, kitchens, or dining rooms.
