Episode ES-CORE-56-AWIC 6 Inch In-ceiling Speaker Pair

Product Description

The EPISODE ES-CORE-56-AWIC is a 6-inch in-ceiling speaker pair rated for all-weather and outdoor installation. Built under the Core 5 product line, these speakers are designed to deliver audio in environments where moisture, temperature swings, and UV exposure are ongoing concerns. The pair configuration makes them a straightforward drop-in solution for ceiling zones in covered patios, pool enclosures, screened porches, and similar semi-exposed or fully outdoor spaces. Installers working in residential audio distribution systems will find these a purpose-built option for extending indoor sound to outdoor zones without sourcing a separate weather-rated enclosure.

The ES-CORE-56-AWIC targets residential and light-commercial distributed audio applications where the ceiling is the preferred mounting surface. Typical install scenarios include covered outdoor entertaining areas, poolside cabanas, sunrooms, and indoor-outdoor great rooms with flush-ceiling access. The all-weather rating addresses locations that see direct humidity and condensation, making them a reliable choice when an architect or homeowner specifies flush-ceiling aesthetics in an outdoor or transitional zone. Sold as a pair, they are suited for stereo zones on a standard multi-zone audio distribution system.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or audio-video systems technician. Power down the amplifier or distribution system before running speaker wire or making connections at the speaker terminals. Follow NEC guidelines for low-voltage wiring in outdoor or damp-location rated spaces, and verify that the ceiling substrate and any enclosure meet local code requirements for the moisture zone. Do not install in locations with direct water exposure unless the mounting environment is rated to match the speaker's all-weather specification.
