I Have Speakers In My Ceiling

I have no idea what i m doing so let me start there.

I have speakers in my ceiling.

Something easy to install is a priority but the main concern is audio quality. We call this impedance though rather than resistance because a speaker doesn t act like a simple resistor. If possible i would rather not use a separate zone 2 amplifier as some rooms such as the guest bedrooms. This is still the case as this is how they will be wired to the sonos amp.

We have in ceiling speakers in our family rm kitchen 8spks living rm4spks pool2spks master bed bath 3spks office 2spks bed 2 1spk bed 3 1spk utility 1spk for a total 22 speakers all wires run to our media cabinet we have 4 sonos connect amps allowing up to 4 speakers to be connect per zone and no wall volume controls. The living room has speaker wires coming out of the wall. The bottom line. In the living room there are 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers.

This option can be used for a superior tv surround sound experience as the sound will be at listening height as opposed to a ceiling speaker where the sound comes from above. My house has ceiling speakers in multiple rooms including a volume control in each room. What to look for when buying in ceiling speakers. My receiver has a powered zone 2 option.

Whilst ceiling mounted speakers have many advantages over floor standing speakers and you can t argue their understated aesthetics they do bring with them a few problems for companies to counter with their engineering. Amplifiers are designed to work with a certain load and that s measured in ohms. Traditionally ceiling speakers have been designed to work with amplifiers that understand a left or right channel only so you would always buy a pair of ceiling speakers to set up as a stereo pair. We just moved into a newer house that has built in speakers.

We just moved into a home that is pre wired for speakers. However in some cases it s just not practical to install a pair of. Adding your old wired speakers into a wireless setup provides some great benefits. These speakers have the same options as in ceiling speakers but instead are normally mounted to the room s walls instead of ceilings.

How do i connect the the speakers to my receiver ensuring a proper 4 8 ohm load is shown to the amplifier.
