The Benefits of a Ceiling Center Speaker
A flush mounted ceiling center speaker is a speaker which mounts in the wall using tabs that swing out when the screw is driven in. They have the advantage over traditional speakers in that they do not adversely affect the visual appearance of the room. They can be painted by watering down standard wall paint and painting the trim and the speaker grill to help them blend in even more.
Why Use a Ceiling Center Speaker?
Using a ceiling center speaker offers two major benefits. It is able to produce a more standardized sound across the room because it is mounted higher. It also hides the speaker component allowing the room to look more natural.
Picking the Right Flush Mounted Center Speaker
There are several brands that offer flush mounted speakers of good quality. The most important thing to look for in these speakers is that they are directional. The center and front speakers should have the tweeter pivoted down and forward towards the seating area. Pivoting woofers are less common, but if available, the woofer should also be pointed down and towards the seating area.
