Ceiling speakers are becoming hugely popular in the Modern Home. With a significant shift in customer expectations, people are now looking to integrate audio far more discreetly into there homes without using large and often obtrusive cabinet speakers. For example 10 years ago it would be normal for your average person looking to play music in the home to go to his local hi-fi shop or electrical retailer and purchase the latest piece of hi-fi equipment whether it be an all in one system or a system comprised of separate components.

This system usually consisted of a CD player and maybe radio, tape player and of course an integrated amplifier. With the advent of the digital music era and in particular MP3’s and other compressed file formats, access and storage of digital music is now far easier. These means music can now be distributed around the house in digital format far more readily, a great example of this being the Sonos Digital Music System. This means consumers also no longer want to see speakers stacked on the floor or book shelf or even hanging from the wall. In the modern home, with the less is more concept, consumers seek neat and integrated solutions which are now more affordable and accessible to everyone.

To meet this growing demand for integrated home audio there are now many manufacturers in the ceiling speaker market, some of the main players in the UK market are KEF, QED, Systemline and Sonance.
