Lowell ES-82CDT 8" Coax Compression Ceiling Speaker

The Lowell ES-82CDT is a self-contained in-ceiling or in-wall speaker system built for professional distributed audio installations where both speech intelligibility and music quality are required. The 8-inch coaxial driver pairs a horn-loaded high-frequency compression driver with a ported enclosure tuned for extended low-frequency response, giving integrators a single enclosure solution that performs across the full audio spectrum without supplemental subwoofers or add-on tweeters.

Targeted at retail, commercial, industrial, and institutional environments, this speaker is engineered for higher ceiling distributed systems where controlled pattern dispersion is critical to achieving consistent coverage across large floor areas. The horn-loaded compression driver produces the crisp high-frequency detail that coaxial designs are valued for in commercial installs, while the ported tuning prevents the low-end rolloff common in sealed ceiling speaker enclosures. For installers planning coverage grids, Lowell offers an online spacing calculator that uses linear dispersion data and rule-of-thumb formulas to determine optimal speaker placement for straight-down ceiling arrays. Priced individually; order in multiples of two.
