Passive Ceiling Speakers

Passive ceiling speakers are a flexible, high-quality option for adding discreet in-ceiling audio to your home. Designed to work with a separate amplifier, they’re ideal for multi-room systems, TV setups and custom installations, offering excellent sound quality with the freedom to choose the right electronics for your space.

What are passive ceiling speakers?

Passive ceiling speakers do not have a built-in amplifier and instead require an external amp to power them. This setup offers greater flexibility, making them a popular choice for homeowners who want more control over performance, connectivity and future system expansion.

They’re commonly used throughout the home, including living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and open-plan spaces, and form the backbone of many multi-room audio systems.

Flexible and future-proof audio solutions

One of the key advantages of passive ceiling speakers is their versatility. By pairing them with the right amplifier, you can tailor your system to suit your listening habits, whether that’s background music, TV audio or a more immersive home cinema experience.

Passive systems also make it easier to expand or upgrade over time, allowing additional rooms or speakers to be added without replacing the entire setup.

Suitable for DIY installations

Despite sounding more technical, passive ceiling speakers are still very achievable for DIY homeowners, especially when chosen as part of a ready-to-install bundle from our range of ceiling speaker systems. Bundles remove the guesswork by matching speakers and amplifiers correctly, simplifying wiring and setup during a refurbishment.

Once installed, passive ceiling speakers remain discreet and unobtrusive, blending seamlessly into your ceiling for a clean, modern finish.

Choosing the right passive ceiling speakers

When selecting passive ceiling speakers, consider:

• The size of the room and how many speakers you need

• The type of amplifier you plan to use

• Whether a bundled system would make installation easier
