Ceiling Speaker
Paradigm CI Contractor C65-R In-Ceiling Speakers (6-Pack)
Product Details
The Paradigm CI Contractor C65-R is a 2-way in-ceiling speaker that hits the sweet spot between performance and value. Designed and engineered in Canada, it brings Paradigm’s renowned sound quality to whole-home audio projects — perfect for living spaces, kitchens, bedrooms and multi-room systems.
A ¾″ Pure-Titanium (PTD™) dome tweeter — ferro-fluid damped and cooled — delivers smooth, clear highs across a wide listening area, while the 6.5″ mineral-filled polypropylene bass/midrange driver with oversized ferrite magnet delivers clean, room-filling audio. The bezel-free micro-perf grille attaches magnetically and can be painted to disappear into the ceiling, and rigid ABS dog-leg clamps make installation fast and vibration-free. Supplied as a 6-pack — ideal for a multi-room installation.

One fire hood is required per speaker to maintain the ceiling’s fire rating. Use 4-core 1.5 mm² speaker cable for runs under 20 m, and 2.5 mm² beyond. Compatible with all standard 8 Ω amplifiers.
