Stereo Ceiling Speaker | 20W | 8Ω | 6.5" | 60Hz–20kHz | 102dB
Ceiling speaker – a recessed ceiling-mounted speaker designed for background music playback in residential, commercial and other indoor spaces. The construction uses a 6.5" low / mid-frequency driver with a paper cone and butyl rubber surround, together with a 1" Mylar dome tweeter featuring ferrofluid cooling. Separate reproduction of mid / low and high frequencies helps reduce interaction between the drivers and provides clearer sound reproduction.
For background music and general indoor sound distributionThe speaker is designed for integration into the ceiling, allowing it to blend discreetly into the room interior. Wide sound dispersion, a separate tweeter and a 6.5" low / mid-frequency driver make it suitable for background music in homes, offices, hotels, shops, showrooms, waiting areas and other indoor spaces.

Component Construction Purpose Low / mid-frequency driver 6.5" paper cone Reproduces the main mid and lower-frequency range. Surround Butyl rubber Allows stable cone movement when reproducing lower frequencies. Tweeter 1" Mylar dome Designed for high-frequency reproduction. Tweeter cooling Ferrofluid Helps improve thermal management and power handling of the high-frequency driver. Magnetic system Strong magnetic assembly Designed for stable speaker operation and clear sound reproduction. Driver configuration Two-way / dual-driver system Separate reproduction of low / mid and high frequencies. Bass ports 2 bass reflex ports Help reinforce lower-frequency reproduction. Separate high and mid / low-frequency reproduction
Two-way driver constructionThe speaker uses a separate 1" high-frequency driver and a 6.5" main driver. This construction allows high frequencies and mid / low frequencies to be reproduced by separate drivers, reducing the need for a single driver to reproduce the entire frequency range.
1" Mylar dome tweeter
High frequencies are reproduced by a 1" Mylar dome tweeter. The ferrofluid-cooled construction is designed to improve thermal management and power handling, helping maintain clearer high-frequency reproduction.
6.5" paper cone driver
The main 6.5" driver features a paper cone and butyl rubber surround. This driver is designed to reproduce mid and lower frequencies. Two bass reflex ports help reinforce lower-frequency reproduction.
Wide sound dispersion
More even background music distribution throughout the roomThe speaker provides wide sound dispersion. Installing several speakers across a ceiling can help distribute background music more evenly throughout a larger room and reduce the need for a single sound source operating at a high volume.
Technical specifications
Main driver 6.5" x 1 High-frequency driver 1" Mylar dome tweeter Rated power 20W Impedance 8Ω Frequency range 60Hz–20,000Hz Sensitivity 89±2dB Maximum sound pressure level 102±2dB Dimensions Φ233x97mm Weight 1.6kg Main cone material Paper Surround material Butyl rubber Housing material Engineering plastic Installation type Recessed ceiling installation Application Background music playback in indoor spaces 8Ω speaker – correct amplifier selection is essentialThis model is an 8Ω low-impedance speaker. It is not a 70V / 100V transformer-based PA speaker and must therefore be connected to an amplifier designed for an 8Ω load. When connecting multiple speakers, the total impedance must be calculated and the amplifier's permitted load must not be exceeded.
Installation
- Select a suitable installation location in the ceiling, taking into account structural elements, cables and other concealed components.
- Prepare a suitable ceiling opening according to the actual installation dimensions of the speaker.
- Before installation, remove or loosen the front speaker grille according to the manufacturer's construction.
- Connect the speaker wires, observing correct polarity.
- Insert the speaker into the ceiling opening and secure it using its mounting mechanism.
- Check that the housing is securely mounted and does not cause mechanical resonance.
- Install the front grille and test the sound system.
Application
Discreet ceiling-mounted sound systemThe recessed ceiling speaker is suitable for installations where clean interior aesthetics and even music distribution are important. Only the front of the speaker remains visible in the ceiling, while the main housing is concealed above the ceiling surface.
Advantages
- 6.5" main driver designed for mid and lower-frequency reproduction.
- 1" Mylar tweeter provides separate high-frequency reproduction.
- Ferrofluid cooling helps the high-frequency driver manage thermal load more effectively.
- 60Hz–20kHz frequency range covers a wide spectrum for music reproduction.
- Wide sound dispersion is suitable for background audio applications.
- Two bass reflex ports help improve lower-frequency reproduction.
- 89±2dB sensitivity allows efficient use of amplifier power.
- 102±2dB maximum SPL provides sufficient sound level for many indoor spaces.
- Recessed installation allows the speaker to be integrated neatly into the ceiling.
- Engineering plastic housing helps keep the overall construction weight relatively low.
Limitations
- 20W rated power: large or very noisy spaces may require multiple speakers.
- 8Ω impedance: the speaker cannot be connected directly to a 70V / 100V PA line without suitable additional equipment.
- A ceiling opening is required: installation must take into account the ceiling structure, 97mm installation depth and additional space for wiring.
Suitable for
- Background music in homes
- Living rooms and common residential areas
- Offices
- Hotels
- Shops and showrooms
- Cafés and other indoor commercial spaces
- Waiting rooms and lounge areas
- Conference and meeting rooms for background music
- 8Ω audio systems
Not suitable for
- Direct connection to a 100V audio line without an additional transformer or other suitable equipment
- Spaces without sufficient installation depth above the ceiling
- High-power professional concert sound systems
Practical application example
In an office or residential room, several ceiling speakers can be distributed evenly across the ceiling and connected to an audio amplifier designed for an 8Ω load. The 6.5" main driver reproduces mid and lower frequencies, while the 1" Mylar tweeter reproduces high frequencies. This configuration allows music to be distributed more evenly throughout the room than when using a single standalone speaker located at one point.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the rated power of the speaker?The rated power is 20W.
What is the speaker impedance?The speaker impedance is 8Ω.
Can it be connected to a 100V line?Not directly. This is an 8Ω speaker, so it must be used with a low-impedance audio amplifier or with appropriately selected additional transformer equipment.
What is the size of the main driver?The main driver size is 6.5".
Does it have a separate tweeter?Yes. It uses a 1" Mylar dome tweeter with ferrofluid cooling technology.
What is the frequency range?The frequency range is 60Hz–20,000Hz.
What is the sensitivity?The sensitivity is 89±2dB.
What is the maximum sound pressure level?The specified maximum sound pressure level is 102±2dB.
What are the speaker dimensions?The overall dimensions are Φ233x97mm.
What is the weight?The speaker weighs approximately 1.6kg.
What size ceiling cut-out is required?The exact mounting cut-out is not specified in the provided technical data. Before cutting the ceiling, it is recommended to measure the actual speaker or use the manufacturer's installation template.
What is this speaker designed for?It is primarily designed for background music playback in residential and commercial indoor spaces.
Important installation and connection noteBefore installation, check the ceiling construction, available installation depth and actual cut-out dimensions. The speaker must be securely mounted to prevent vibration or mechanical resonance during operation. Speaker wires must be connected with the correct polarity. As this is an 8Ω speaker, the amplifier must be suitable for this load. When connecting multiple speakers, the total system impedance must be calculated to ensure that it remains within the amplifier's permitted operating range.
