These are passive speakers, so they need an amplifier to power them (4–8Ω, 60–240W recommended). Either of these will drive a pair and stream music from your phone.
If the ceiling has a bedroom or other living space above it, or is part of an escape route, building regulations require each speaker to have a fire hood. Hoods also cut sound leaking into the room above.
Stereo from a single speaker needs a 4-core cable (left and right channels on one run). Allow about 10m back to the amplifier. Webro 16/4 LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen) is the right cable for runs in ceilings and walls.
The Monitor Audio C2L-T2X is a large-format in-ceiling speaker built for rooms that demand serious scale and flexibility. Whether you're fitting out a spacious living room, a home cinema, or a commercial space such as a restaurant or shop, this single speaker can be configured to suit the application thanks to its switchable operating modes.
Why we like it
- 9" RST II dual-coil bass driver delivers deep, distortion-free low end
- Twin 1.25" C-CAM tweeters with UD Waveguide spread detailed treble evenly around the room
- Three selectable modes: Cinema Mono FX (di-pole), Mono Wide Dispersion (bi-pole) and Single Speaker Stereo
- Quik-Link connector and Tri-Grip II fixing system make for a quick, secure install
- Optional square grille offers an alternative finish to suit the room's decor
Installation notes
The C2L-T2X requires a 248mm diameter cut-out and a mounting depth of 99mm, so check ceiling void clearance before installing. In Stereo mode it presents an 8 ohm load, ideal for pairing with a compact streaming amplifier such as a Sonos Amp or WiiM Amp; in Mono mode it runs at 4 ohm and benefits from a higher-powered amplifier to make the most of its 240W handling.
