Home Theater Ceiling Speakers
The modern home theater ceiling speakers come in a wide range of options to choose from. Dozens of renowned companies are doing their best to outdo their competitors both, in quality and pricing. The wide selection of brands and models can make it hard to choose. Following is some advice on what to look for, when choosing the equipment for your home theater.
Today, speakers come in a wide price range. The cheapest ones obviously have a lower sound quality. However, you can find something simple and good that may cost twice less than the sophisticated products. The cheapest ceiling speakers cost as little as $10 each and some of them can be a good simple addition to your home theater system. One of the most affordable brands to consider is PYLE Audio – the model PylePro PDICS6.
Another essential aspect is the material that the speakers are made of - the material needs to be shock-resistant and waterproof. One of the most popular materials used for the making of sturdy, lightweight, and shock-resistant speakers is ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). The paper cone on the unit needs to be treated or have a special coating that will make it water-resistant. The water-resistant design will allow you to use the unit even in moist areas, such as the kitchen, bathroom, sauna, and pool. One of the manufacturers that offer this type of product is Klipsch.
Finally, the sound of the speaker has to be clear and deep. The home theater ceiling speakers are small in size, which allows placing them into a shallower ceiling. Their small size obviously results in certain losses in regard to sound. Yet, some companies (Yamaha, Bosch) offer products with excellent sound quality in a wide frequency range.
