Episode ES-CORE-16-IC Core 1 6 Inch In-ceiling Speaker Pair

Product Description

The EPISODE ES-CORE-16-IC is a residential in-ceiling speaker sold as a pair, designed for whole-home audio distribution and architectural sound installations. Part of the Core 1 product line, these 6-inch speakers are engineered to mount flush within standard ceiling cavities, delivering clean audio output without exposed cabinetry. The in-ceiling form factor makes them a go-to choice for integrators and audio installers working in new construction or retrofit residential projects where a clean, low-profile aesthetic is required.

These speakers are intended for residential in-ceiling audio applications including living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and covered outdoor spaces where ceiling mounting is structurally appropriate. They are typically installed as part of a distributed audio system driven by a low-impedance amplifier or multi-zone receiver. The Core 1 line targets entry-level to mid-range residential builds where reliable performance and straightforward installation are priorities.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified audio-video integrator or licensed low-voltage technician familiar with residential structured wiring practices. Power down the amplifier or receiver before making any speaker wire connections. A drywall hole saw sized to the speaker cutout template is required, and installers should verify ceiling joist locations before cutting. Follow local building codes for in-wall and in-ceiling wiring, including requirements for CL2 or CL3 rated speaker cable where applicable.
