Description
Need a clean, professional-sounding ceiling speaker that drops right into a standard 1x2-foot tile grid and gives you tons of flexibility? The Bogen CSD1X2U-V2 is exactly that.
It works straight out of the box as a full-range passive speaker in 8-ohm, 25V, or 70V systems. But here's what sets it apart: with a simple add-on Nyquist plenum-rated amplifier module, you can turn it into a powerful IP network intercom or even use it as a source speaker to drive a whole chain of additional 25V/70V speakers.
Perfect for offices, schools, warehouses, or any space where clear paging, background music, or two-way intercom matters. Simple install, plenum-rated safety, and future-proof options - all from a brand trusted in commercial audio for decades.
Key Features
- Drop-in simplicity - Fits perfectly into standard 1x2-foot suspended ceiling tiles with no extra mounting hardware needed.
- Multi-mode operation - Runs natively in 8-ohm low-impedance (up to 15W) or 25V/70V constant-voltage systems with 5 selectable power taps.
- Nyquist-ready - Easily converts to a passive IP speaker or IP intercom by adding a Bogen Nyquist plenum-rated amplifier module (such as NQ-GA10P or NQ-GA40P3).
- Amplifier source mode - Pair with a Nyquist GA-series amp and NQ-GAXMR1 transformer to create a combo unit that drives multiple secondary 25V/70V speakers for wider coverage.
- Full-range sound - Clear voice reproduction and background music capability with an 8-inch cone driver.
- Plenum-rated safety - Meets UL 2043 and 62368 standards for installation in air-handling plenums.
- White finish - Blends discreetly into most commercial ceilings.
