Custom & Architectural

Videopro gives you a wide range of custom and architectural speakers so you can enjoy strong sound without clutter in your rooms. You get speakers that sit in ceilings, inside walls, and outside under cover while your furniture and floors stay clear. You can set up home cinema, background music, and outdoor zones with gear that matches your layout and your budget.

Custom and architectural speakers suit you if you like clean lines and want sound that feels part of the room instead of a big box on a stand. You can match speakers to new builds, renovations, and simple upgrades around an existing television. This category helps you compare options across size, room type, and use case so you can pick speakers with confidence.

How You Use Custom and Architectural Speakers in Your Home

You use custom and architectural speakers when you want sound that blends into your home. In a living room you might place in wall speakers beside your television so voices and sound effects feel locked to the screen. In a kitchen or open plan area you might use in ceiling speakers so music flows evenly while you cook or relax.

In a patio or alfresco area you can add outdoor rated architectural speakers above your seating area so you hear music clearly without hauling speakers in and out every time. If you want one simple control point you can run these speakers from an amplifier in a cupboard and use an app or remote to adjust volume. Custom and architectural speakers give you this neat and flexible style of audio.

Types of Custom and Architectural Speakers You Can Choose

In Ceiling Architectural Speakers for Everyday Listening

In ceiling speakers suit you if you want audio that feels spread across the room. Brands like Klipsch, Polk Audio and Bowers and Wilkins give you options in six inch and eight inch sizes. A model like the Klipsch CS18C eight inch in ceiling speaker or a Polk Audio POV80 eight inch in ceiling round speaker fills a lounge or large kitchen with ease.

For smaller rooms such as bedrooms or studies you can use compact six inch models like the Klipsch CS16W in wall speaker or comparable in ceiling units. Some in ceiling speakers such as the Klipsch DS160CSM stereo speaker play both left and right channels from a single frame. That works well in small rooms, hallways or bathrooms where you only want one cut out.

In Wall Architectural Speakers For Home Cinema and Media Rooms

In wall architectural speakers work well for home cinema. You can use a Klipsch dual five point two five inch in wall LCR speaker as your front channel so dialogue comes straight from the screen area. You can pair this with matching Klipsch in wall speakers for left and right or use Bowers and Wilkins CWM series in wall loudspeakers for a more refined front stage.

If you want a serious system you can use Bowers and Wilkins CWM7 point three or CWM7 point five in wall speakers as main or surround speakers. These models bring high detail for movie soundtracks and high quality music. For deep bass you can add an in wall subwoofer such as the Bowers and Wilkins ISW4 which hides the cabinet while keeping strong low frequency impact.

Outdoor and Marine Architectural Speakers for Harsh Conditions

Outdoor and marine speakers give you sound in tough environments. If you have a coastal home or a pool area you can pick Bowers and Wilkins Marine 6 or Marine 8 ceiling speakers in black or white. These speakers use materials that handle moisture, salt air and temperature swings while still giving clear high and midrange performance.

For walls and posts you can use weather proof speakers such as the Bowers and Wilkins AM1 outdoor speakers or Sonos outdoor speakers in pairs. If you like the look of a natural garden you can use a Speakercraft eight inch stereo all weather rock speaker in a sandstone finish. These options let you cover decks, courtyards and gardens with sound that feels natural in the space.

Mounts and Accessories for Custom Speakers and Amps

Some custom setups need brackets and mounts. If you use a Sonos Move portable speaker in a patio you can use a Sanus WSSMM1B2 indoor outdoor mount so the speaker has a fixed home while still being removable. For built in rack systems you can use a Sonos Amp multi rack mount to hold multiple amplifiers neatly in a cabinet.

These accessories help you keep your audio hardware tidy and safe. Your custom and architectural speakers then link to amps that sit on a shelf or in a rack with clear labelling and simple cable runs.

Key Features You Look For In Custom And Architectural Speakers

When you pick custom and architectural speakers you usually look at a few simple features. First is sound quality. You want clear voices, strong midrange and smooth treble at normal listening levels. If you plan to host parties or enjoy action films at high volume you also want drivers that can handle peaks without strain.

Second is size. A six inch in ceiling speaker suits a small office, bedroom or hallway. An eight inch speaker such as a Bowers and Wilkins CCM683 or CCM684 suits larger lounges and open plan areas. Bigger drivers move more air which gives you better bass and fuller sound.

Third is build and finish. You want sturdy frames that clamp tightly to the plasterboard and grilles that sit flush with a clean white finish. Many grilles are paintable so you or your installer can match the ceiling or wall colour. In damp rooms such as bathrooms you want moisture tolerant models such as Bowers and Wilkins CCM362 or CWM362 speakers which use humidity resistant materials.

Finally you look for easy matching with your amplifier. Most architectural speakers sit around eight ohms and suit common home theatre receivers, stereo amps and compact streaming amps like Sonos Amp.

Installation Tips for Custom and Architectural Speakers

Good planning makes your custom and architectural speaker setup work better. You start by sketching your room and marking likely seating spots. Then you place speakers in line with those seats. In ceiling speakers should sit roughly the same distance from each wall where possible so sound spreads evenly.

You measure joist spacing and check for pipes and wiring before you cut. Many speakers include templates for tracing the cut out. You or your installer then cut the hole, pull the speaker cable through, connect the terminals, and tighten the clamps so the frame holds firm.

For in wall speakers you place them at ear height when seated in front rows. In home cinema rooms you can line LCR speakers with the edges and centre of your screen. Surround speakers can sit slightly above ear level on the side walls or rear walls.

Outdoor installs require attention to cover and drainage. You place outdoor speakers under eaves where possible and angle them toward listening seats. Marine speakers in boats or coastal homes should line up with areas where people sit or stand most often.

For electrical safety and building rules you use a licensed electrician for mains power work and follow local standards for cable runs.
