Sonos has introduced the 8′′ In-Ceiling Speaker by Sonos and Sonance, extending the Sonos Architectural line of passive speakers with a larger size for installers and customers. The 8” In-Ceiling Speaker sits discreetly within the ceiling and delivers powerful, balanced, and clear sound. The 8” In-Ceiling Speaker will be available in Spring 2024 for $999/pair.

The 8” In-Ceiling Speaker, designed and tuned in collaboration with Sonance, features a custom-built, enlarged woofer and high-excursion motor for a smooth midrange, bass down to 32Hz, and a greater listening area. A 30mm tweeter and newly optimized waveguide ensures natural sounding vocals and better high-frequency dispersion, for wide and even coverage that fills the room with sound.

While the 8” In-Ceiling Speaker is bigger in size than the 6′′, the aesthetics of the magnetic grille are unchanged, ensuring both models can be used together in the same space. The grilles for both 8” and 6” sizes are available in white for a discreet match with the widest range of ceilings and, thanks to a specially developed steel grille, can be painted to meet the customization needs of every client.

“The 8” In-Ceiling Speaker has been designed in direct response to the needs of our installers, who asked us for more size options and flexibility during installation,” said Audra Kinsley, VP and GM of Sonos Professional. “This new addition provides a bold sound profile and stunning performance that enhances the experience customers get when Sonos Architectural speakers are paired with Sonos Amp. The addition of the 8” In-Ceiling Speaker provides professional installers and customers the freedom and flexibility to choose the design and sound experience that fits perfectly within their space.”

In combination with Sonos Amp, the Sonos Architectural line provides crisp and clear multiroom audio. When paired with Sonos Amp, the In-Ceiling or In-Wall speakers unlock even more benefits including overdrive protection and custom tuning enhancements that ensure a fuller sound and a balanced frequency response. In combination with Sonos Amp the 8” speakers also benefit from Trueplay tuning, which accounts for the size, construction, and furnishings of the room where the speakers are placed, and automatically adjusts the EQ for optimal sound.

Like all Sonos Architectural speakers, the 8” In-Ceiling Speaker paired with Sonos Amp will benefit from the Sonos ecosystem, including an app that works with all popular streaming services, Apple AirPlay 2 control, and includes regular software updates and the ability to add additional Sonos speakers and components over time.
