Product Description

The EPISODE ES-CORE-18-IC is a residential in-ceiling speaker sold as a pair, designed for permanent flush-mount installation in standard residential ceilings. Part of the Core 1 series, this 8-inch speaker pair delivers distributed audio for whole-home audio systems and custom installation projects. The ES-CORE-18-IC is intended for use in new construction and retrofit applications where low-profile, in-ceiling placement is required.

This speaker pair is suited for residential environments including living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and covered outdoor-adjacent spaces where in-ceiling placement is preferred.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed AV integrators or custom installation technicians. Before beginning, disconnect or power down any connected amplifier or distribution system to avoid speaker or amplifier damage during wiring. A hole saw sized to the speaker cutout template is required for ceiling preparation, and low-voltage wiring practices apply per applicable local codes. Verify ceiling joist spacing and insulation clearance before cutting to ensure proper fit and thermal compliance.
