THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HIDDEN SPEAKERS
CHOOSE THE BEST DISCREET SPEAKER SYSTEM FOR YOUR HOME
Whole-home audio can revolutionize your daily life. It brings sound to every room of your home, allowing you to listen to your favorite tunes no matter where you are or what you’re doing. Typically, multi-room speaker systems are made up of discreet speakers that are installed directly into your wall or ceiling. The result is evenly distributed hidden sound that fills every corner of your space with audio. Though in-wall and in-ceiling speakers are often grouped together, they are very different and give different results. Check out the breakdown between the two and see which hidden speakers will work best in your Beverly Hills, CA, home.

IN-WALL SPEAKERS
In-wall speakers are installed directly inside the wall, with a grill cover that can typically be painted to match your wall color. They are placed evenly around the room to fill it with balanced audio. When discreet speakers are put in the wall, they are directly at ear level, so the audio is dispersed horizontally, resulting in a performance-style sound.
However, installing them around furniture and wall hangings can be difficult in certain parts of the house. They create a more authentic sound but don’t always work in every room.
IN-CEILING SPEAKERS
In-ceiling speakers are the ultimate discreet audio solution since they’re above you and not at eye level. They distribute audio downward, which results in a difference in sound since it is not at ear level. Nevertheless, they are great for providing consistent audio to large rooms because the in-ceiling speakers can be placed anywhere, such as directly above your couch or dining room table. You don’t need to worry about furniture getting in the way since these speakers won’t take up any precious wall space.
HOW TO CHOOSE
It’s clear that there are differences between in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, so how do you choose between them? It essentially comes down to the space and your personal preference. For example, in-ceiling speakers are great for rooms with a lot of furniture, such as kitchens, dining rooms, and bedrooms. They’ll provide crisp audio without interruption to your interior design.
In-wall speakers provide a surround sound effect, which is why many homeowners include them in entertainment spaces, such as home theaters and media rooms. Since they’re at ear level and provide a more authentic audio experience, they’re great for adding premium sound to your theater system, turntable, and more.
