Why in-ceiling?
In-ceiling speakers disappear into the room and spread sound evenly, which makes them ideal for background music.
Spacing matters
Speakers spread sound in a cone. Higher ceilings can space speakers farther apart. Our speaker layout tool estimates how many you need for a room.
Stereo or background?
For background music, evenly spaced speakers with one volume control work well. For focused listening, pair speakers left and right of the seating.
What powers them?
In-ceiling speakers need an amplifier. A Sonos Amp can power them so they join your Sonos system.
Wiring
New construction is the easiest time to run speaker wire, but existing homes can often be fished.
