Ceiling speaker installation used to be a complicated job. Having to match speakers to amplifiers, then find routes to run cables back to a location where you can hide a stack of black boxes. Throw in all the different equipment connections and complex set up procedures. No wonder most electricians, and clients, stayed clear of these high-end systems.

Times have changed with more people using streaming services, such as Spotify, the need for a central location to post CDs has gone. So amplifier and speaker can be combined into a single unit and tucked up into the ceiling.

For the electrician, this means fitting an audio system is just like installing a downlight.
