Choosing Between 70V/100V and 8Ω Ceiling Speakers
Commercial ceiling speakers can use different amplifier and wiring systems. Choosing the correct system before installation makes it easier to plan speaker quantity, amplifier power and wiring.
70V / 100V Distributed Audio
Best for multiple ceiling speakers and larger commercial spaces. 70V and 100V systems allow several speakers to share one amplifier line, making them practical for offices, restaurants, retail stores, schools and other distributed audio installations.
Each ceiling speaker is set to a transformer wattage tap. Add the selected wattage of every connected speaker to calculate the total load on the amplifier.
8Ω Low-Impedance Audio
Best for one or a small number of compatible speakers. An 8Ω ceiling speaker connects to a compatible low-impedance amplifier without using a 70V or 100V transformer tap.
When connecting more than one 8Ω speaker, the total impedance must be calculated correctly so the connected load remains within the amplifier's supported range.
If six ceiling speakers are each set to 10W, the total connected speaker load is: 6 × 10W = 60W
Select a commercial amplifier with enough output above the calculated speaker load. Leaving suitable amplifier headroom helps provide reliable everyday operation.
