Adastra Speakers (Indoor)

This page collects Adastra speakers for indoor sound: background music in a shop or café and voice announcements across a building. Types include 100V line speakers such as the BC6V-W (952.716UK) and 8 ohm stereo pairs such as the 100.907UK, in ceiling, wall, column and pendant styles. There are also bookshelf pairs, Bluetooth and active speaker sets, fire-rated models and complete packages that pair speakers with an amplifier.

Choosing Adastra Speakers (Indoor)

Decide between a 100V line system and low impedance first, then the mounting, then whether a ready-made package suits.

Line voltage or low impedance

On a 100V line system, tappings set how much of the amplifier's power a speaker takes: the 952.168UK quick fit ceiling speaker is tapped at 1.5W, 3W and 6W, and the BC6V-W (952.716UK) has a rotary selector for 100V line tappings or 8 Ohms operation. Low impedance pairs such as the BC Series 100.907UK run at 8 Ohm from a stereo amplifier.

Ceiling speakers

KV-T series speakers such as the 952.280UK are ABS 2-way 100V ceiling speakers with a magnetic frameless grille and glass-aramid drivers. The 952.260UK low profile model fixes into suspended or false ceilings with dog-ear mounts, and its grille can be painted to match the decor. For washrooms and food preparation areas, the 952.138UK is a 3" metal ceiling speaker with a water-resistant coated paper cone.

Wall, column and pendant

BM-series wall speakers such as the 952.502UK offer 100V or 8 Ohm operation on an adjustable steel bracket for walls or ceilings. SC series columns such as the 952.240UK are slim extruded aluminium units for discreet indoor use. Where ceilings are high, PS series pendants such as the 952.426UK hang on a 4.5m cable with a hook.

Packages and active sets

The 300.010UK compact 100V package pairs 5.25" metal ceiling speakers with a UM series amplifier that has USB, Bluetooth and an FM tuner, and the 300.102UK Smart Pack streams over WiFi to two 6.5" slimline ceiling speakers. The 953.164UK Bluetooth ceiling set pairs an active speaker with a passive one, so no separate amplifier is needed.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need 100V line or 8 ohm speakers?

Choose 100V line for several speakers across a building and 8 ohm for a pair on a stereo amplifier. The 952.168UK ceiling speaker is tapped at 1.5W, 3W and 6W for a 100V system, while the BC Series 100.907UK pair runs at 8 Ohm. Speakers such as the BC6V-W (952.716UK) offer both, through a rotary selector.

Which Adastra speakers can go in a bathroom?

Pick a model made for damp areas. The 952.138UK 3" metal ceiling speaker has a water-resistant coated paper cone for washrooms, and the 125.032UK OD Series pair is rated IP35 for swimming pools and bathrooms. The 300.156UK package pairs IP35 ceiling speakers with a Bluetooth amplifier for bathrooms and wet rooms.

Is there a fire-rated Adastra ceiling speaker?

Yes, the 952.205UK fire dome ceiling speaker is certified to EN54-24. It has a rear fire dome, an all-metal frame, ceramic screw terminals and four volume tappings of 0.75W, 1.5W, 3W and 6W on a 100V line. For walls, the FW-5V (952.245UK) is a fire-rated speaker in a powder-coated steel cabinet.

Can I buy speakers and an amplifier together?

Yes, packages such as the 300.002UK include both. The BC3 package pairs an A22 amplifier, with Bluetooth, a USB/microSD player and FM tuner, with four 3" speakers and 10m of speaker cable. The 300.107UK Smart Pack Medium has eight flush-mounted ceiling speakers and a DM40 100V mixer amplifier for larger areas.

Which speaker suits a room with a high ceiling?

A pendant speaker hung below the ceiling suits it better than a ceiling speaker. PS series pendants such as the 952.429UK hang on a 4.5m cable with a hook, spread sound over 140°, and switch between 100V line tappings of 30W, 15W, 7.5W and 3.75W or 8 Ohms operation.
