Meyer Sound ASHBY-5C 5" Active Ceiling Speaker, with Atten, White - 09.261.001.03

Product Overview

The Meyer Sound ASHBY-5C with attenuator is an active 5-inch ceiling loudspeaker for distributed commercial AV that needs local level control. The onboard attenuator lets installers balance zones without returning to the system processor, which speeds commissioning across conference rooms, training rooms, and multi-purpose spaces. As a self-powered ceiling loudspeaker, it covers overhead duty without a separate amplifier rack.

Product Description

This configuration suits integrators specifying distributed audio in rooms where individual zones need trimming during setup or service. Amplification is built into the enclosure, so the active ceiling loudspeaker integrates downstream of a DSP or matrix and lowers the amplifier count in the rack. The white, flush-mount enclosure stays discreet in finished ceilings. For larger coverage, it pairs with full-range loudspeakers and subwoofers available on creationnetworks.net.

Key Features

• Onboard Attenuator — Local level trim balances zones without reprogramming the system processor.
• Self-Powered Design — Internal amplification removes a dedicated amplifier channel from the rack.
• 5-Inch Ceiling Format — Sized for distributed overhead coverage in commercial rooms.
• Flush Ceiling Mount — A discreet white profile suits finished commercial ceilings.
• DSP-Friendly Integration — Accepts line-level input downstream of a matrix or processor.

Typical Applications

• Conference Room — Distributed overhead coverage for clear voice pickup playback.
• Huddle Room — Discreet flush-mount audio for small collaboration spaces.
• Training Room — Uniform intelligibility across rows of seated participants.
• Commercial Meeting Space — Ceiling-mounted distribution for open and divisible rooms.
• Multi-Purpose Room — Background and foreground audio from an unobtrusive ceiling array.
