Audibax GA08-T - 8" 2-way recessed ceiling speaker, 100V line (white)

The Audibax GA08-T is a 2-way in-ceiling speaker for 70/100V line systems, designed to deliver background music and speech with wide coverage and discreet aesthetic integration. It features an 8" woofer and a 1.3cm tweeter, housed in an ABS enclosure with a white metal grille. Its 2.5W / 5W / 10W taps allow for zone-specific level adjustment, while its 89dB sensitivity and 60Hz–20kHz frequency response ensure balanced sound for retail, hospitality, office, and corporate spaces. With an outer diameter of 28cm, a Ø 250mm cutout, and a depth of 8.8cm, installation is quick and clean in interior suspended ceilings.

Main features

• 2-way (passive) in-ceiling speaker with 8" woofer and 1.3cm tweeter .
• 70/100 V line with selectable taps: 2.5 W / 5 W / 10 W.
• Sensitivity: 89 dB (1 W/1 m) · Max SPL: 94 dB · Response: 60 Hz–20 kHz.
• Wide coverage : 151° H × 151° V for uniform diffusion in rooms.
• Materials: ABS cup and metal mesh, white finish.
• Embedment dimensions: Ø exterior 280 mm · Ø cut 250 mm · depth behind panel 88 mm.
• Connection via screw terminals for quick and safe installation.
• Indoor use (IP20), ideal for background music and public address systems.
• Also compatible with low impedance (8 Ω) when mounted in Low-Z mode.

Product benefits

• Consistent sound in voice and background music thanks to its 2-way design and extended response.
• Scalability by zones : power taps allow balancing levels in multi-zone installations.
• Quick integration : standard dimensions (cut Ø 250 mm) and easy fixing with screw terminals.
• Discreet finish and durable materials (ABS + metal mesh) for commercial spaces.
• Very wide coverage (151° × 151°) which reduces the number of points needed in rooms with low ceilings.

Use cases

• Shops, supermarkets and shopping centers: uniform background music and public address announcements.
• Bars, cafes and restaurants: homogeneous coverage with neutral aesthetics in the room and corridors.
• Hotels, offices and education: clear signs and background music in lobbies, hallways, waiting rooms and classrooms.
• Corporate spaces and showrooms: brand reinforcement through sound ambiance without visual impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do you need a 100V line amplifier?
  Yes. For multi-zone installations and long cable runs, a 70/100 V amplifier is recommended. The GA08-T allows you to select 2.5 W / 5 W / 10 W per unit.
• Can I use it with a conventional 8 Ω amplifier?
  Yes, the model supports low impedance mode (Low-Z 8 Ω) when the installation requires it.
• What is the cutting diameter and minimum depth?
  The mounting hole is Ø 250 mm and the depth behind the panel is 88 mm. This leaves extra room for wiring and the ceiling structure.
• Is it suitable for outdoor or humid areas?
  No. It's an indoor model (IP20). For humid environments or outdoors, a model with specific protection is required.
• How do I adjust the power?
  Using the selector (taps) on the line transformer: 2.5 W / 5 W / 10 W depending on the desired level and the amplifier load calculation.

Installation and compatibility

Cut a 250 mm diameter hole, check for clearance and obstructions, connect the system wiring to the screw terminals respecting polarity, and select the required power tap. It is compatible with 70/100 V amplifiers and, if needed, can be configured for low impedance (8 Ω) . For optimal results in background music, distribute units considering their wide 151° × 151° dispersion and the ceiling height.

Acoustic performance

The sensitivity of 89 dB (1 W/1 m) optimizes performance at moderate power levels, reaching a maximum SPL of 94 dB per unit. The 60 Hz–20 kHz frequency response provides sufficient bass for background music and clear vocal articulation, minimizing listening fatigue during extended use.

Design and materials

High-strength ABS construction with a white lacquered metal grille for a clean and durable visual integration. Standard dimensions (Ø 280 mm external) facilitate replacements or extensions in existing installations.
