Audibax LA05 - 5” (8 Ω, 15 W) Recessed Ceiling Speaker for Ambient Sound

The Audibax LA05 is a stylish and discreet passive in-ceiling speaker designed for background music and announcements in indoor environments. Its single-way design with a 5-inch woofer delivers clear reproduction for voice and background music, with a frequency response of 150 Hz to 20 kHz and a sensitivity of 91 dB (SPL) . Operating at 8 ohms and handling 15 W of power, it easily integrates with the low-impedance amplifiers commonly found in commercial and residential installations. The white metal grille provides durability and a clean aesthetic that blends seamlessly into plasterboard or drywall ceilings. Installation is quick and precise thanks to its 17.2 cm outer diameter , 150 mm cutout diameter , and 6.5 cm depth , and its IP20 rating makes it suitable for indoor use.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does it work on 100V lines? No. The LA05 is 8 Ω . For 70/100V lines, the corresponding model is the Audibax LA05-T (with integrated transformer). Alternatively, an external transformer can be used.
• What cut do I need to make in the ceiling? A mounting diameter of 150 mm .
• What clearance depth do I need? At least 6.5 cm from the visible face of the ceiling to any obstructions.
• Is it sold individually? Yes, 1 piece per purchase unit.
• What type of amplifier do I need? Any low-impedance (8 Ω) amplifier with adequate power per channel. In mixed Low-Z/100 V installations, a stage with switchable outputs can be used.

Installation recommendations

• Use 1.5 mm² speaker cable as a reference for typical indoor runs.
• Respect the free depth and verify that there are no pipes or structural profiles in the cutting area.
• Distribute several units to obtain homogeneous coverage at moderate volume, avoiding overloading a single emission point.
