It pairs an 8\" aluminum cone woofer with a 1\" aluminum dome tweeter for 80 W continuous (AES) power at 8 Ω. It is the largest model in the CELO slim ceiling speaker series, and it hides behind a SlimLine grill with a 1 mm border.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the AUDAC CELO8I\/W 8\" ceiling speaker work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/images.pvs.global\/audac\/products\/CELO8.webp?width=1200\" alt=\"AUDAC CELO8I\/W 8 inch ceiling speaker\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CELO8I\/W is a passive, low-impedance (8 Ω) flush-mount speaker. Its tweeter sits on an acoustically shaped arm in front of the 8\" woofer, and a built-in passive crossover at 3 kHz splits the signal between them. The result is a 46 Hz – 20 kHz response (±3 dB) and a wide 135° conical coverage pattern, so fewer speakers cover a room evenly. The grill sticks out only 3.2 mm from the ceiling and is held on by neodymium magnets, so it comes off without tools for service. Wiring lands on gold-plated Gold-Con spring clamps, and the speaker locks into a 9.65\" cut-out with a 4-screw quick-fix mechanism. For 70V\/100V distributed systems, add the optional WTR24 line transformer. AUDAC designs the CELO series to work in open ceiling space; where a back box is required, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/audac-adc-wmm450-fire-rated-metal-back-box-for-use-with-celo-cira-cena-mero-series-loudspeakers\"\u003eWMM450 fire-rated back box\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/audac-adc-wmm630-mdf-back-box-for-use-with-celo-cira-cena-mero-series-loudspeakers\"\u003eWMM630 MDF back box\u003c\/a\u003e fits, and AUDAC recommends at least ~15 liters of back volume to keep low-end response.
