Ceiling speakers for Commercial Audio & Business Music come in all shapes and sizes. Choosing the correct size, power and spacing will provide an even coverage for comfort and intelligibility. To do this, you need to consider the room dimensions and height as well as the overall purpose for your audio system. It can be tricky to get right, so we'd love to help you choose the right ceiling loudspeakers from some of the worlds leading audio manufacturers. No job is too small, and for large projects we can use ‘EASE’ mapping software to design a suitable plan.
You’ll notice in the product descriptions that ceiling loudspeakers are described as being suitable for ‘100 Volt Line’ or ‘Low impedance’ loudspeaker circuits and some are compatible with both. 100 Volt Line speakers usually have different tappings on the trasformer - this enables the volume to be matched to neighbouring speakers of different styles or to restrict the overall demand on the amplifier when adding additional speakers to an existing circuit.
If you’re unsure about this terminology, please contact us or head over to our Tech Hub for an explanation, as it's important to match up the speakers with the amplifier you're using.
There's a huge choice of ceiling speakers - you will have seen these in commercial business properties like Supermarkets, Airports, Offices & Shopping Centres where they provide discreet background music and in-store radio broadcasts as well as paging and announcements.
Although a few can be surface mounted, most ceiling speakers flush mount into a false or suspended ceiling to provide unobtrusive background music and paging. Fitting of in-ceiling loudspeakers is usually pretty simple. Once the correct size hole has been cut in the ceiling tile or plasterboard, the speaker is connected to the wiring in the ceiling void and pushed up into place. Most ceiling speakers have spring loaded clips which pull the speaker up and hold it securely. Other models are screwed into place from underneath via screwholes through the chassis, before attaching the grille.
