Included in this category are active/passive ceiling speaker sets. These include one active speaker that the power cable would plug into and one passive speaker that is connected to the main one using the standard speaker cable that is included. These are great for small rooms such as kitchens or bedrooms, and they are all Bluetooth enabled so you can connect your smart device wirelessly for ease of use.

Also included are systems that have wall-mounted amplifier units. These provide discreet installation and are extremely user-friendly as they have touch panels or buttons on the front so you can adjust volume, change songs or change mode from one unit on the wall. Paired with ceiling speakers for home use, our wall amplifiers are a great choice for anyone who doesn't want anything too obvious.

Some of the ceiling speakers included in our packages are moisture-resistant. Having moisture-resistant speakers means that you can install them in a bathroom or kitchen without the worry of them getting wet and breaking. They cannot be completely submerged in water, but for rooms where moisture is prominent, even outside under some cover, these speakers are perfect.

The majority of our packages feature Bluetooth technology for wireless audio streaming. If you are having guests over for a party or gathering, this is great as anyone can pair their smartphone as and when they please.

Choosing a ceiling speaker package

When choosing a ceiling speaker package for your home, it is important to choose one that matches your budget, sound expectations, size of your room(s), and the design of the system itself. There is a huge range of systems available that each cater to different requirements, so choosing one can be a tricky task.

Some of our home ceiling speaker systems come with in-wall amplifiers, which have user-friendly touch panels or buttons for convenient control. The installed design of both the ceiling speakers and amplifiers in these packages keeps the system discreet when installed, with all cables being obscured behind wall and ceiling surfaces. Fully installed ceiling sound systems are great for offices, kitchens, and living rooms.

If you want a ceiling speaker kit that provides sound over several rooms, there are a lot of multi-room systems in this category. They work by using either separate amplifiers that all connect to your WiFi network, or from a single amplifier with different output ‘zones’. There are also systems that have selector switches, which enable you to turn specific speakers of the system on or off at any time.

Many of the speakers in these systems have magnetically attached grilles that can be easily removed from the main housing of the speaker. This is great if you want to spray paint the grille a different colour to blend in better with your room. There are also packages that come with speakers with black grilles rather than white, which are perfect for home theatres or modern homes.

Whether you want a simple ceiling sound system for your bedroom, or a more intricate system that spans over multiple rooms, the systems in this category are suitable for anyone’s requirements.

Ceiling speaker kits with Bluetooth

Bluetooth is an extremely popular technology in modern times, being found in vehicles, professional music venues, and various devices in homes. This is no different from ceiling speaker packages. The amplifiers in these systems commonly have built-in Bluetooth receivers that give you the ability to pair your smartphone or tablet to stream audio wirelessly.

When using Bluetooth, you can use any app or website on your smart device, which means that you can play any music, podcast, audiobook, or any other audio content that you like. While Bluetooth may not be as reliable as a wired connection, it is more convenient to quickly pair your device at home to play music. No cables get in the way, and you can keep the system discreet in your room while enjoying high-quality stereo sound.

A commonly asked question is whether or not you lose sound quality when using a Bluetooth connection as opposed to a wired connection. The answer is yes, but barely. Wired signals are of higher quality than wireless signals, as the audio is not compressed. That being said, most people would not be able to notice the difference between a wireless or wired connection just in terms of sound quality, so Bluetooth is a viable and good option for playing music through different ceiling speaker setups.

There are several systems with moisture-rated speakers that also feature Bluetooth connectivity, which is great if you are in the shower or preparing food in the kitchen and want to quickly pair your phone and play music. The moisture-proof speakers are also suitable for outdoor installation if installed under some cover, which is ideal for patio areas.

Uses of in-ceiling speaker systems

Ceiling speaker systems can be used for a variety of audio needs, from playing casual background radio stations to high-quality stereo sound for home theatre systems. Many of the systems come with amplifiers that have built-in controls, such as bass, treble, and in some cases, microphone echo.

Having microphone inputs on the amplifiers in these systems makes them versatile, as they can be used for small karaoke parties. By connecting a TV or laptop to the amplifier using wired inputs, you can view lyrics on-screen while enjoying high-quality sound and being able to sing through the system.

Most of the systems in this category also have built-in MP3 players that can be used with USB sticks or SD cards, depending on the available ports. This is ideal if you have personal playlists, as they can play continuously without any further manual control required. Perfect for small gatherings and parties, each system ensures ease of use while providing fantastic sound quality.

Any system that has wired inputs, such as optical or stereo RCA (phono), can be used with a wide variety of external devices. For example, you could connect your record player, TV, laptop, or CD player, which makes these systems highly versatile for various user needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are ceiling speakers good for home?

Ceiling speakers can be a good choice for home audio systems due to their discreet installation, wide sound dispersion, and ability to provide overhead audio for immersive surround sound experiences. They can be used for various purposes, including home theater setups, distributed audio in multiple rooms, or discreet audio in rooms where wall-mounted speakers may not be desirable. However, it's important to consider factors such as audio quality, power handling, compatibility, installation requirements, aesthetics, and budget when choosing ceiling speakers for your home.

Do speakers sound better in the ceiling?

Yes, ceiling speakers are designed to sound their best once installed, as they use the ceiling itself to boost frequencies and provide a warmer tone than when they are used pre-installation. Home ceiling speaker systems provide good sound quality, with many additional benefits including unobtrusive aesthetics, ease of use, and versatile connectivity options.

Do ceiling speakers produce bass?

Yes, ceiling speaker kits are capable of producing bass, but the bass response may vary depending on the specific model and design of the ceiling speakers. In general, ceiling speakers tend to have smaller speaker drivers and limited cabinet space compared to floor-standing or bookshelf speakers, which can impact their bass performance. However, some ceiling speakers are designed with dedicated low-frequency drivers or built-in subwoofers to enhance bass reproduction.

How many speakers do I need in-ceiling?

The number of ceiling speakers needed for your audio setup depends on several factors, including the size and layout of the room, the desired audio coverage, and your personal audio preferences. In general, for stereo audio playback, two ceiling speakers positioned strategically apart can provide a basic setup. For larger rooms, a higher number of speakers may be required, so it is important to plan out your needs before deciding on a system.

Can ceiling speakers be used in a bathroom?

Yes, ceiling speakers can be used in a bathroom, but it is important to consider certain factors before installation. Bathrooms are typically humid environments with high levels of moisture, which can potentially damage regular speakers over time. Therefore, it is essential to choose ceiling speakers that are specifically designed for use in bathrooms or other high-moisture areas.

What is the best setup for ceiling speakers?

The best setup for ceiling speakers depends on factors such as room layout, audio preferences, and intended use. Positioning the speakers above the listening area in a 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound configuration can provide an immersive audio experience. For distributed audio in multiple rooms, evenly spacing the speakers for balanced coverage and considering the room's size and shape is important. Additionally, using a compatible amplifier or AV receiver, ensuring proper wiring and installation, and fine-tuning audio settings can help optimise the performance of ceiling speakers in your home audio system.

How do you power a ceiling speaker?

Ceiling speakers are typically powered by an external amplifier or AV receiver. The amplifier or AV receiver provides the necessary electrical power to drive the speakers and produce sound. To power ceiling speakers, you would need to connect the speaker wires from the amplifier to the speaker terminals on the back of the ceiling speakers. The amplifier or AV receiver should have enough power output to match the power handling capacity of the ceiling speakers.

Do all ceiling speakers need an amplifier?

Yes, in most cases, ceiling speakers require an external amplifier or AV receiver to provide the necessary electrical power to drive the speakers and produce sound. That being said, some ceiling speakers may have built-in amplifiers, known as powered or active speakers, which do not require an external amplifier. With these models, they connect directly to mains power, meaning that you need to be able to access the power socket to turn them on and off.

Do ceiling speakers make noise upstairs?

Ceiling speakers, when properly installed and insulated, should not make noticeable noise or disturbance upstairs. However, some factors may affect the sound transmission through the ceiling and potentially cause noise or vibration to be heard upstairs.

An effective way to reduce upstairs noise is by installing acoustic hoods over the top of the ceiling speakers, which help to reduce sound bleeding up through gaps while also improving the sound quality of your ceiling speakers.

Do ceiling speaker packages have Bluetooth?

Yes, the vast majority of home ceiling speaker systems have Bluetooth technology that is built into the amplifier, or in some cases, the speakers themselves. It is important to check the features of each system before making a decision on one, as you may find that the system you have purchased does not support wireless connectivity.
