Bose Virtually Invisible791 In-Ceiling Speaker II - Black

Product Information

An amplifier processes sound and passes it through to speakers as output. Wattage is a measurement of the output signal sent to a speaker. Each speaker has a limit to the amount of wattage it can handle and pushing beyond this limit can damage the speaker. You must make sure that the output wattage of an amplifier does not exceed the output wattage rating of a speaker. Fire Hood In most cases, yes; providing the wall cavity is deep enough to contain the speaker and cables. If you have solid walls you may decide to go for wall speakers instead. They sit snugly against the wall with a lower profile than normal wall speakers What is a fire hood and do I need one? The Dolby Atmos and DTS-X audio systems require ceiling-mounted speakers as part of their standard installations. If you’re planning on using ceiling speakers for one of those systems, you might want to get some qualified advice about exactly where to place the speakers, and what size they should be in relation to the rest of your speakers. So, you've squeezed as much life out of those battered hi-fi cones as you can - only to realise that they don't make the best ceiling speakers. No matter how high up you try to rig them, even the best speakers won't look or sound right unless they're engineered for downward-firing in-ceiling audio. Resting in a ceiling cavity, these hidden audio gems deliver overhead sound.

Bluetooth. Pair your mobile device with the Bose Music Amplifier through Bluetooth to listen to content from your mobile device. Pair your mobile device to the amplifier using the Bose Music app. Or put the amp into pairing mode by pressing and holding the Bluetooth button on the front of the amp and then selecting the Bose Music Amp from the Bluetooth settings menu on your mobile device. If you own a LIFESTYLE® system, Bose® 791 Virtually Invisible® in-ceiling speakers and an SA-3 amplifier can bring music to another room in your home. You can even listen to music from your a LIFESTYLE® system in one room while a film or different music plays in another, at the same time, from the same system. For whole-home systems, you’ll want the largest, most power-capable speakers your amplifier or receiver can handle. Don’t expect a single 4-inch speaker to fill a whole kitchen with sound; what you get will be a lot closer to an elementary-school PA system than a concert hall. How We Evaluated Ceiling SpeakersThe Bose Music Amplifier acts as the “parent” device, or the initial source of the content. Through the Bose Music app you can then group your amp with a compatible Bose Bluetooth speaker or headphones by establishing a connection from the amp to the Bluetooth device. Your two products must remain within 30 feet of each other to stay connected. Walls and construction materials can sometimes affect connection.

The Google Nest Hub with a 7-inch screen and the Google Nest Hub Max with a 10-inch screen are smart displays that are powered by Google Assistant. In addition to accessing the digital assistant, these devices will allow you to stay connected with other family members if you have multiples of them around the house -- broadcast messages, speak with whoever's in a specific room, and make audio calls. You can also use them to catch up on your favorite streaming shows, as well as access all of your other smart home devices. Content streaming via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, analog and optical line input. Apple Airplay 2, Spotify Connect, and Chromecast built-in Want to go simple? Try one of the new “Bluetooth amplifiers." They take whatever’s playing on your phone or tablet and boost it. That said, a larger speaker needs more space in your ceiling, and that can potentially be a problem. Not only are you cutting a bigger hole, you’ll also need more total depth for the enclosure and for the magnet that drives the speaker. So, make sure your eyes aren’t bigger than your available space.

Best ceiling speakers of 2023: Buyer's guide

While the era of showing off massive “hi-fi” loudspeakers by heavy-hitter brands like Cerwin-Vega and Magnepan in a dedicated listening room isn’t quite as outdated as the above proverb, it’s not far off. Today’s audiophiles and home-theater enthusiasts desire maximum sonic impact with minimum visual presence. And that’s where the new generation of ceiling-mounted speakers comes in—they have a stealth design to make that happen. The Sonos In-Ceiling Architectural Speakers above are clearly going to be your first choice, especially if you already own other Sonos products. That said, if you’re loyal to another brand and are happy with the sound, you should let that steer your buying decision. Can I mount a ceiling speaker on a wall instead? Analog RCA input and optical input. Connect any type of external content source to the Bose Music Amplifier using the Analog RCA or optical input, like: CD player, vinyl record player,* television. Or you can even pair the amp with compatible Bose headphones for a personal listening experience. Once synced, use the app to silence your passive speakers and instead enjoy listening to a CD or vinyl record on your headphones.
