Episode ES-CORE-36-IC-DVCS In-ceiling Surround Speaker

Product Description

The EPISODE ES-CORE-36-IC-DVCS is a Core 3 series in-ceiling speaker engineered for use as a surround channel in residential audio installations. It features a dual-voice-coil (DVC) driver configuration, which allows a single enclosure to handle stereo surround content from a compatible receiver or amplifier. Sold individually, this speaker is designed for flush-mount ceiling installation and is suited for custom integrators and home theater professionals building distributed or dedicated surround-sound systems.

This speaker is intended for residential in-ceiling applications where discrete speaker placement is required for surround channels. The DVC design makes it a practical choice for rooms where running two separate speaker locations is not feasible, consolidating left and right surround output into one ceiling cut. Typical install scenarios include dedicated home theater rooms, media rooms, and whole-home audio systems where ceiling aesthetics and channel performance both matter.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style residential in-ceiling surround speaker compatible with standard low-voltage speaker wiring and conventional receiver or amplifier outputs rated for DVC loads.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed audio/video integrator or low-voltage technician. Power down or set the amplifier and receiver to a safe state before making any speaker wire terminations. Follow NEC guidelines for low-voltage in-ceiling wiring, including any local requirements for plenum-rated cable in air-handling spaces. Do not exceed the amplifier or receiver channel impedance rating when wiring both voice coils of the DVC driver.
