Bogen Communications HFCS1LP 2-way ceiling speaker 16 Ohm off-white

SKU CH-XXW4-Y7ZSD MPN HFCS1LP

Two-way ceiling loudspeaker with 16 Ohm impedance, 78 Hz to 19 kHz frequency response, and off-white finish for hard or suspended ceilings

  • Clear intelligibility from 2-way crossover design
  • Wide frequency range 78 Hz to 19 kHz for full sound
  • 16 Ohm impedance suits distributed audio systems
  • Installs in hard, suspended or new-construction ceilings
  • Compact 12.3 × 12.3 × 7.8 cm off-white housing

Ceiling speaker for distributed audio

The Bogen Communications HFCS1LP is a 2-way ceiling loudspeaker designed for commercial sound systems. Its 16 Ohm impedance suits constant-voltage or high-impedance amplifier outputs. The off-white finish matches standard ceiling tiles in offices, schools and retail spaces.

Installation scenarios and limits

Installers working with hard-surfaced ceilings, suspended grids or new-construction openings can use the included hardware. The 7.75 lb weight and 7.8 inch depth require adequate plenum space and structural support. Projects needing weather resistance, subwoofer extension or lower impedance loads should consider other models.

16 Ohm impedance decides amplifier matching

The speaker presents a 16 Ohm load across its 78 Hz to 19 kHz range. Amplifiers must be rated for this impedance to deliver full power without instability. The 2-way crossover and supplied terminal cover complete the package for a single-zone install.

Questions about this item

How does the 78 Hz to 19 kHz frequency range sound in a typical room?

The 78 Hz low end covers most music fundamentals and male voice, while 19 kHz extends past the highest harmonics most adults hear, giving full-range clarity for paging and background music.

What does the 16 Ohm impedance mean for amplifier matching?

A 16 Ohm load draws less current than 8 or 4 Ohm speakers, so you can run longer cable runs or parallel several units without overloading a standard commercial amplifier.

What ceiling cut-out and depth does the 12.3 by 12.3 by 7.8 inch frame need?

The speaker fits a standard 12.3 inch square opening and requires at least 7.8 inches of clearance above the tile or drywall for the back-can and wiring.
