In-Ceiling, In-Wall Speakers

In-ceiling and in-wall speakers allow you to enjoy high-quality ambient sound while maintaining the sleek aesthetics of your interior. Unlike floor-standing or shelf speakers, they become very discreet once integrated into the false ceiling or hollow walls.

They are generally installed in living areas (living room, dining room), but also in a bathroom or on a covered terrace. Sold in pairs, you can equip multiple rooms for pleasant multiroom sound throughout the house.

In-ceiling and in-wall speakers come in different shapes (round, square, rectangular) and sizes depending on the desired power and the volume of the room to be soundproofed. The most compact ones offer power starting at 30W, while the most powerful models can exceed 200W.

As for components, you will find polypropylene membranes and aluminum or titanium domes. Sensitivity averages between 85dB and 92dB, with a frequency response covering the entire audible spectrum from 20Hz to 20kHz. The standard impedance is 8 ohms, ensuring compatibility with most amplifiers.

Some models feature a pivoting tweeter or speaker to more precisely direct the sound towards the listening area. White grilles allow them to blend into most interiors. Some manufacturers offer grilles in different colors or paintable options for even more discreet integration.

To function, in-ceiling and in-wall speakers must be connected to a dedicated audio amplifier or a home theater amplifier. You need to plan to run a speaker cable from each speaker to the amplifier.

Installation requires drilling the ceiling or wall according to the speaker’s diameter, allowing for the necessary depth. With some DIY practice, it is possible to do the installation yourself. Otherwise, it is better to entrust the installation to a professional for optimal results.

By discreetly integrating speakers into the ceiling or walls, you can enjoy high-quality ambient sound throughout the house while maintaining a sleek decor. It is a clever and aesthetic audio solution.
