How To Buy In-Ceiling Speakers: A Dreamedia Guide

Determine Your Needs

Before diving into the world of in-ceiling speakers, consider what you need from your audio setup:

• Room Size and Acoustics: Larger rooms might require more speakers or models with higher output.
• Purpose: Are you enhancing a home theater, or is it for multi-room audio?
• Integration: Will these speakers need to work with an existing system?

Consider Speaker Specifications

Understand the specs that impact performance:

• Power Handling: Measured in watts, it tells you how much power the speaker can handle.
• Sensitivity: Indicates how loud a speaker will be with a given amount of power.
• Frequency Response: The range of sound a speaker can reproduce. Wider ranges cover more sounds.
• Impedance: Typically 8 ohms is standard, but variations can affect the load on your amplifier.

Latest Features and Technologies

Stay ahead with cutting-edge features:

• Directional Tweeters: These allow you to angle the high frequencies, focusing the sound better in a desired direction.
• Dolby Atmos® Technology: Provides immersive, 3D audio by adding height to the sound landscape, perfect for home theaters.
• Moisture Resistance: Essential for bathrooms or kitchens where dampness is an issue.
• Magnetic Grilles: Easily removable and paintable grilles that blend seamlessly with any decor.

Installation Considerations

Think about the installation process:

• Pre-Construction Brackets: Useful during building or major renovations as they mark speaker locations for drywall cutouts.
• Back Enclosures: Improve sound quality and prevent sound from leaking to other rooms. Consider this if installing in multi-level homes.
