Introduction
High-end slim ceiling subwoofer
The CELO8SI is the next step in our journey to provide an impeccable musical
atmosphere. This 8” ceiling subwoofer is fitted with a stiff and light
aluminum membrane, resulting in detailed and punchy bass, while the open back
design enables the CELO8SI to reproduce low frequencies in the most natural
way possible.
Its integrated stereo crossover enables you to effortlessly connect your
satellite speakers, resulting in the absolute finest full range musical
atmosphere.
To overcome the architectural challenges of the most luxurious interior
designs, the CELO8SI is fitted with our Slim Line™ grill design with an
exceptionally thin border of only 1 mm and a minimized grill depth, extruding
merely 3.2 mm from the ceiling surface. In addition, the grill is completely
paintable, making the speaker disappear without sacrificing any sound quality.
This elegant and unobtrusive grill is held in place by means of powerful
neodymium magnets, making assembly and disassembly simple and reliable.
When the grill is removed, it’s clear for anyone to see that the CELO8SI is
made by using only the highest quality materials, guaranteeing an unsurpassed
sound experience. This results in true to nature sound reproduction for a warm
and detailed sound with an RMS power of 50 Watt per channel.

Chapter 1
Installing the CELO8SI
Introduction
The CELO8SI feature a quick-fixing mechanism, which allows quick and easy
installation of the loudspeakers in only a few minutes.
The installation of the CELO8SI requires a minimum amount of installation
skills. Before the loudspeaker is installed, the location whereto it will be
mounted should be carefully checked to make sure the surface can support the
weight of the speaker and no lines for water, gas, electricity or other
supplies are crossing this point.
Installation procedure
To ensure a safe and secure mounting of the loudspeaker, the installation should be done according to the procedure described below:
- Cut a hole on the mounting location in the ceiling. Make sure the diameter is matching the cut-out measurement for the installing loudspeaker.
Double check if there are no cables or other obstructions behind the mounting surface before making the cut-out.
| Cut-out Measurement (Ø)
---|---
CELO8SI| 245 mm
2. The CELO8S features an integrated stereo crossover, enabling you to connect your satellites. Two or four 8 ohm satellites can be used as well as eight 16 Ohm satellites.
-
Connect the wiring by attaching the cables to the terminal block connectors and plugging them in to the CELO8SI. Make sure the connectors are secured by tightening the set screws.
HFR: Connect your right channel satellites
HFL: Connect your left channel satellites
INR: Connect your right amplifier channel
INL: Connect your left amplifier channel
-
Make sure the mounting clamps are fully bended inwards, allowing the speaker to fit through the cut out.
Insert the speaker into the cut out and tighten the mounting screws. A quarter turn is enough to flip out the mounting clamps, locking the speaker in place.
-
Tighten the screws for proper fixation of the speaker.
-
Depending on your installation and prefered sound, the volume of the satellites relative to the subwoofer can be increased and decreased by 3 dB.
-
Depending on the acoustical properties of your room and placement of the subwoofer, the sub can be better integrated in your room when switched to either 0° or 180°. We recommend 0° when all speakers are mounted in a flat wall or ceiling.
-
Attach the grill. Thanks to the magnets, it will snap in place.
