Episode ECS-800-IC-4 70V In-ceiling Speaker 4 Inch

Product Description

The EPISODE ECS-800-IC-4 is a 70-volt in-ceiling speaker designed for distributed audio systems in commercial and multi-zone residential installations. The 4-inch driver configuration fits standard ceiling cutouts, and the included tile bridge accessory simplifies mounting in drop-tile and suspended ceiling grids without additional hardware. This speaker is wired into 70V constant-voltage amplifier systems, making it a standard choice for installers running multiple speaker zones from a single amplifier. A licensed low-voltage or audio-video systems technician typically handles installation in commercial settings.

This unit is suited for background music and paging applications in retail, hospitality, office, and multi-room residential environments. The 70-volt line configuration allows long cable runs with minimal signal loss, a key requirement in larger commercial spaces. The tile bridge hardware makes it compatible with suspended ceiling systems commonly found in commercial builds, eliminating the need for custom fabrication at the ceiling plane.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or audio-video systems contractor. Power down the 70V amplifier and verify zero voltage on the line before making speaker connections. Follow NEC Article 725 guidelines for Class 2 and Class 3 low-voltage wiring in ceiling spaces. Verify ceiling material and joist spacing before cutting to ensure the tile bridge or mounting hardware seats correctly.
