The CELO series is AUDAC‘s first High-end slim ceiling speaker series, consisting of four models which can guarantee an optimal experience for every situation and application. The CELO8 is the largest 8” model of this series. Due to its slim grill design with a very thin border of only 1 mm and a limited grill depth which extrudes from the ceiling surface by only 3.2 mm, these speakers will become nearly invisible when mounted. To make them blend in even more, the grill can be painted in the same color as the surrounding surface or an optional black grill (GLC08/B) will provide seamless integration in dark environments.
This elegant and unobtrusive grill is held in place by means of powerful neodymium magnets, making assembly and disassembly very simple, but still reliable enough for keeping the grill in place during the complete lifetime of the loudspeaker. When the grill is removed, it’s clear for anyone to see that the CELO speakers are made by using only the highest quality materials, guaranteeing an unsurpassed sound experience.
One 1” aluminum cone tweeter is held in place by an acoustically optimized arm in front of an 8” aluminum cone woofer. Together with the crossover network which is made of high-quality components, this results in true to nature sound reproduction for a warm and detailed sound with an RMS power of 80 Watt.
To guarantee a lifetime stability, secure mounting and easy installation, the loudspeaker connection is made using Gold plated spring clamp connectors. The mounting of the loudspeaker into the ceiling should be done by a quick-fixing mechanism which can be tightened by four screws and the front grill is held into place by neodymium magnets.

The CELO and MERO series speakers are designed with very light membranes to work in free air without closed enclosure on the back. The smaller the enclosure gets, the more the low frequency response will degrade.
Our recommended application is indeed to use the CELO or MERO series speakers in an open ceiling or surface with a very large volume on the back. We know that is not always possible, however for small volumes there are other options recommended (e.g. CALI series with a closed back can).
To guarantee a decent and acceptable acoustic performance for a speaker such as CELO series, experimental testings have learned us that a volume of ~ 15 Liters turns out to be OK and acceptable. But the larger the space, the better the low frequency response will turn out. So any additional liter is welcomed.
