Electro-Voice EVID-EC8.2 Two-Way 8" Coaxial Ceiling Speaker

High-Performance Ceiling Speaker for Clear and Balanced Audio

The Electro-Voice EVID-EC8.2 is a two-way 8-inch coaxial ceiling speaker designed to deliver premium sound quality for commercial installations. With an integrated transformer and selectable wattage taps, this unit is built to perform in distributed 70V/100V audio systems or standard 8-ohm setups. It offers consistent, full-range coverage ideal for retail stores, hospitality venues, offices, and public spaces where reliability and aesthetics matter.

Bezel-less Grille Design for Modern Aesthetic Integration

One of the standout features of the EVID-EC8.2 is its elegant, bezel-less magnetic grille. This white, paintable grille attaches easily and blends cleanly with modern ceiling tiles, making it ideal for architecturally sensitive environments. The minimalistic visual footprint makes the speaker almost invisible once installed, while still delivering powerful audio performance.

Flexible Power Handling with Front-Accessible Tap Setting

This model supports multiple wattage settings via a convenient front baffle switch, allowing quick selection between 1.88W (70V only), 3.75W, 7.5W, 15W, 30W, and 8-ohm bypass. This feature simplifies configuration for multi-zone audio systems and eliminates the need to remove the speaker during adjustments. It’s an efficient solution for integrators managing large-scale installations across different acoustic zones.

Engineered for Fast and Secure Installation

Electro-Voice includes a tile bridge and C-ring with each unit, making installation into drop ceilings or fiber tile ceilings fast and stable. The speaker is low-profile in depth, so it fits easily into tight ceiling cavities. A side-access 4-pin terminal block allows fast, secure wiring for up to 12-gauge cable, with pass-through capability for daisy-chaining additional units.

Reliable Components and Industry-Standard Certifications

Built for long-term performance, the EVID-EC8.2 features a UL 94V-0 rated ABS baffle and a rugged steel rear enclosure. This construction ensures safety and durability in demanding commercial environments. The product meets UL 1480A, UL 2043, CSA C22.2 No. 205, and IEC 62368-1 certifications, verifying its suitability for air-handling spaces and general public installations.

Optimized for Seamless System Integration

Designed as part of the broader EVID line, the EVID-EC8.2 integrates perfectly with other EVID ceiling, surface-mount, and in-wall speakers. This provides system designers with a scalable and consistent family of solutions for projects requiring multiple speaker types and configurations, all delivering the same quality of audio fidelity and visual appeal.
