The type of speaker and their location is critical to getting an audio system working correctly and at their best performance. There is a knack to the placement and installation of speakers in a home cinema or multi-zone system. Speakers come in all shapes and sizes and for all types of listening preference.
Getting the sound balance right is the key to a good sound system. We can design the speaker layout in the same way that a lighting designer would use light to create the mood in your house.
In-wall and in-ceiling speakers have become some of our best-selling models, and it's easy to see why. They finally sound good enough to satisfy those who care about audio quality, and are also a great solution for folks who don't want to give up their floor or shelf space to traditional speakers. Below, we'll take a look at the things you should consider when buying in-wall or in-ceiling speakers.
How they work: the basics
- An in-wall speaker works like a regular speaker. But instead of being attached to a cabinet, it's mounted in a frame and set into your wall. It uses the wall cavity as a large cabinet, giving you more bass than you might get from a stand-alone speaker of the same size.
- An in-ceiling speaker works essentially the same way, except that ? you guessed it ? it's installed in your ceiling. For the most part, in-wall speakers tend to be rectangular, and in-ceiling speakers tend to be round ? but there's no reason you couldn't install a rectangular in-wall speaker in your ceiling, for example, if that's what you preferred. Almost all in-wall and in-ceiling speakers have paintable grilles, so you can camouflage them in your walls or ceiling.
