Monitor Audio AWC265-T2 - All-Weather Stereo-Input In-Ceiling Speaker - Piece
Anodised black for stealthy in-wall/ceiling integration, the C-CAM bass drivers combine co-axially with Monitor Audio’s renowned 1" C-CAM tweeters, which are twinned and angled on the AWC265-T2 to deliver high performance stereo sound from a single unit where space is limited.
Stereo playback from a single speaker
Want clear, detailed music but just have room for a single speaker? Then check out Monitor Audio's AWC265-T2. This high-quality in-ceiling speaker uses a dual-tweeter design to deliver the complete stereo mix without the need for an additional speaker. Plus it's moisture-resistant, so you can use it in your bathroom with confidence.
The AWC265-T2 is perfect for kitchens, hallways, or any other room where you want music from a single in-ceiling location. You'll enjoy solid bass from the 6-1/2" woofer, and smooth highs from two 1" gold dome C-CAM® tweeters.
A built-in enclosure elevates your sound
One of my favorite features of this speaker is its built-in back-box. This carefully designed enclosure helps the speaker deliver consistently focused, well-balanced sound no matter what kind of space is behind it in your ceiling. It also keeps dust, dirt, and moisture out of your speaker.
DIY installation
