About this episode
Send a textCeiling audio that installs faster, covers more space, and welcomes everyone—this conversation with Amit at ISE 2026 puts a spotlight on practical innovation. We walk through an 8-inch Bluetooth and Auracast ceiling speaker with a built-in 60 W RMS amp that can broadcast a master signal up to 100 meters, creating a mesh of receivers across the room. That broadcast advantage isn’t just about effortless background music; Auracast allows compatible hearing aids and earbuds to tune in directly, so announcements, alarms, and playlists reach every listener with clarity.We also dig into a compact amplifier designed to be the “brain” behind any passive speaker you choose. If you love a particular brand or form factor, this amp slots into the ceiling void and drives two 8-ohm or four 4-ohm speakers, bringing wireless connectivity and clean power where you need it. Power flexibility is a recurring theme: run it from standard mains or feed it with PoE when there’s Cat6 in place but no spare receptacle. That means fewer change orders, easier retrofits, and a tidier project timeline for commercial and residential jobs.To round things out, we explore the upgraded PoE active speaker that now operates with a single cable. By consolidating power and data, Live Audio removes a common point of friction and speeds up commissioning. It’s a universal fit with their all-in-one units and the new amp, giving integrators a scalable, mix-and-match toolkit. From gyms and cafes to offices and classrooms, the focus stays on reliable coverage, simple wiring, and inclusive listening through Auracast’s broadcast model.If streamlined installs, stronger coverage, and better accessibility are on your roadmap, you’ll find plenty to take back to your next spec.
