🔧 Installation
📐 Ceiling Types
Drop tile (Armstrong/Grilyato) — standard. Plasterboard — jigsaw cut. Slatted — adapters. Concrete — not suitable (use wall-mount).
🔧 Process
Mark positions → cut hole by template → pull cable → connect tap/low-Z → fit back-can → insert speaker → tighten spring clips. 5–10 min each.
⚠️ Tips
Check depth behind ceiling (10–25 cm). Avoid HVAC, pipes, electrics. Run cables before ceiling installation. Grille can be painted to match.

⚖️ Ceiling vs Wall-Mount
✅ Ceiling Pros
Most discreet — grille flush with ceiling. Even coverage from above. Don't take wall space. Standard for offices, hotels, malls.
⚠️ Limitations
Need drop ceiling (10–25 cm depth). Harder service access (ladder). Less powerful (up to 100 W). Rarely outdoor. Less directional.
🎯 When Ceiling
Drop ceiling available. Discretion matters. Open plan, halls, lobbies. Even coverage from above. Sound needed, speakers invisible.
