Coaxial Ceiling Speaker – 5", 40W RMS / 80W MAX, 8 Ω, 65 Hz-20 kHz, Recessed
Coaxial ceiling speaker is designed for background music, voice announcements and general sound reinforcement in residential, commercial and public spaces. The 5-inch coaxial construction with an integrated tweeter allows a wider frequency range to be reproduced in one compact recessed housing.
Main idea:
This model is designed for systems with an 8 Ω low-impedance amplifier, when higher-quality music and voice reproduction, a wide frequency range and discreet recessed ceiling installation are required.Rated power

Ø180 mmOperating principle
The speaker is connected to a compatible low-impedance audio amplifier. The audio signal is transmitted to the 5-inch coaxial speaker, where the low and mid-frequency driver and the high-frequency tweeter are mounted on the same axis.
The coaxial construction helps maintain more consistent sound dispersion from a single point. Integrated frequency separation distributes the signal between different speaker parts, allowing both lower and higher audio frequencies to be reproduced more effectively.
What does 8 Ω impedance mean?
An 8 Ω speaker is intended for connection to a low-impedance audio amplifier. Before connecting multiple speakers, the total system impedance and the permitted amplifier load must be evaluated. This model is not intended for direct connection to a 100V line audio system without an additional transformer or another suitable solution.Technical parameters

- Coaxial audio system – higher and lower frequency reproduction from one mounting point.
- 40 W rated power – suitable for background music, voice announcements and general room sound reinforcement.
- 80 W maximum power – for short-term audio signal peak loads.
- 65 Hz-20 kHz frequency response – for voice, music and high-frequency reproduction.
- 8 Ω low-impedance connection – compatible with suitable audio amplifiers.
- Metal grille – protects the internal speaker parts from dust and accidental contact.
- ABS housing – for a lighter construction and recessed installation.
- Overload protection – helps protect the speaker elements from excessive load.
Where is it used?
- Home spaces – living rooms, kitchens, corridors, home cinema or relaxation areas.
- Offices – meeting rooms, reception areas and shared workspaces.
- Restaurants and cafés – for background music and more even room sound reinforcement.
- Hotels – reception areas, corridors, conference and relaxation spaces.
- Shops – for background music or promotional audio information.
- Educational institutions – classrooms, auditoriums, corridors and common areas.
- Small commercial premises – when compact and aesthetic ceiling sound reinforcement is required.
Practical usage example
For example, in a restaurant hall, several speakers of this type are installed evenly across the ceiling. All speakers are connected to a compatible low-impedance audio amplifier, taking into account their connection method and the total system impedance.
This allows a more even distribution of background music and voice announcements throughout the room, avoiding one speaker operating too loudly in a specific location.
Use according to need
For an audio system installer: a suitable recessed 8 Ω speaker for low-impedance sound reinforcement systems when a wider frequency range and neat ceiling installation are required.
For an interior designer: helps create a discreet audio system where the speaker is integrated into the ceiling and only the protective metal grille is visible from the outside.
For a restaurant or shop owner: suitable for background music and voice announcements in smaller or medium-sized commercial spaces.
For a home user: can be used in a multi-zone music system when connected to a properly selected audio amplifier.
Advantages
- Coaxial construction – for fuller sound reproduction in one housing.
- 40 W RMS power – suitable for music, voice and general sound reinforcement.
- 65 Hz-20 kHz frequency range.
- 8 Ω impedance – compatible with low-impedance amplifiers.
- Metal protective grille – protects the speaker interior from dust.
- ABS housing – for a lighter recessed construction.
- Ø180 mm mounting cut-out – for convenient recessed installation in suspended ceilings.
- Integrated overload protection – for additional speaker protection.
Disadvantages / limitations
- 8 Ω impedance system – not suitable for direct connection to a 100V line system.
- A compatible amplifier is required – the speaker does not operate independently.
- An Ø180 mm mounting cut-out and approx. 81 mm mounting depth are required.
- One speaker does not create a true stereo system – stereo playback requires at least two properly positioned channels.
- When connecting several speakers, the total impedance must be calculated to avoid overloading the amplifier.
Installation and usage notes
Before installation, it is necessary to check the ceiling structure thickness, available mounting depth and cable space. The speaker must be connected only to an amplifier whose power and permitted load impedance match the parameters of the audio system being used.
- Disconnect amplifier power before installation.
- Cut an exact Ø180 mm mounting opening.
- Check that there is at least approx. 81 mm of free space behind the ceiling.
- Use speaker cable suitable for the planned load and cable route length.
- Maintain polarity, especially when connecting several speakers in one system.
- Do not exceed the rated amplifier and speaker power.
- Protect the speaker from direct moisture if the room is not designed for this type of installation.
- Final connection is recommended to be entrusted to an audio system installer.
Quick selection guide
Choose the 5" coaxial 8 Ω ceiling speaker when you need a compact recessed solution for background music, voice announcements or general room sound reinforcement with a low-impedance amplifier.

- background music for a restaurant, office, shop or home;
- a coaxial speaker with a wider frequency range;
- a 40 W RMS solution for a low-impedance system;
- neat and discreet ceiling installation of the audio system.
Check before ordering:- whether the amplifier being used supports an 8 Ω load;
- how many speakers will be connected to one channel;
- whether an Ø180 mm opening can be cut in the ceiling;
- whether there is approx. 81 mm of free space above the ceiling;
- whether an 8 Ω system is required, not a 100V line audio system;
- whether one speaker is sufficient for the planned room area or several speakers are needed.
Important reminder:
This model is an 8 Ω low-impedance speaker. Before connecting several speakers, the total system impedance must be calculated correctly and it must be ensured that the selected amplifier can safely operate with such a load.FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a 100V line speaker?
No. The specified nominal impedance is 8 Ω, so the speaker is intended for low-impedance amplifier systems.What size hole needs to be cut in the ceiling?
The required mounting cut-out is Ø180 mm.What is the speaker power?
The rated power is 40 W, and the maximum short-term power is up to 80 W.Is it suitable for music?
Yes. The coaxial construction and 65 Hz-20 kHz frequency range allow the speaker to be used for background music and voice reproduction.Does one speaker reproduce stereo sound?
No. One speaker reproduces one audio channel. A stereo system requires at least two separate speakers and a two-channel amplifier.Compact Coaxial Speaker for Quality Ceiling Sound Reinforcement
The 5-inch coaxial 8 Ω ceiling speaker is a practical solution for rooms where aesthetic installation, good voice intelligibility and wider music frequency reproduction are important.
Thanks to 40 W rated power, 65 Hz-20 kHz frequency range, metal grille, ABS housing and recessed installation in an Ø180 mm opening, it is suitable for homes, offices, restaurants, shops and other low-impedance audio systems.
