Description
The Adastra EC56V is a metal-framed ceiling speaker built for 100V line systems, with a quick-fit mechanism that lets you install it into almost any ceiling material. The spring clips grip from behind as you push the speaker into the cut-out, so you can fit it neatly without extra brackets. The slimline flush-fitting grille sits close to the ceiling for a tidy finish, and the whole unit is white to blend into most rooms.
Inside is a 5.25in driver paired with a 100V line transformer, which suits distributed audio setups where several speakers run from one amplifier over a long cable run. The transformer is tapped at 1.5W, 3W and 6W, so you can set the volume of each speaker to match the space it sits in. That makes it a sensible choice for shops, offices, cafes and background music across multiple zones.
With a mounting depth of 57mm, the EC56V fits into shallow ceiling voids where deeper speakers would not go. It gives an SPL of 90dB (±3dB) at 1W/1m, a wide 155° dispersion angle for even coverage, and a frequency response of 110Hz to 13kHz that handles speech and background music well. The all-metal construction keeps it sturdy, and each speaker weighs 638g. Sold as needed, these are a straightforward option for a reliable 100V ceiling install.

Frequently Asked
What is a 100V line speaker?
A 100V line speaker uses a transformer to run on a distributed audio system, letting you connect many speakers to one amplifier over long cable runs with low signal loss. It suits background music across several zones.
What do the tappings do?
The transformer is tapped at 1.5W, 3W and 6W. You choose a tapping to set how loud each speaker plays, so you can balance volume across different rooms from the same amplifier.
How does the quick-fit mechanism work?
Spring clips behind the frame grip the ceiling as you push the speaker into the cut-out. This holds it firmly without extra brackets and works in almost any ceiling material.
What ceiling depth do I need?
The mounting depth is 57mm, so you need a void of at least that behind the ceiling. This shallow profile fits many spaces where deeper speakers will not.
What size is the driver?
The EC56V has a 5.25in driver with a frequency response of 110Hz to 13kHz, which handles speech and background music clearly.
Where is the EC56V best used?
It works well for background music and announcements in shops, offices, cafes and other spaces using a 100V line system across multiple zones.
