Best Ceiling Speakers For The Bathroom - The Ultimate Guide + VIDEO

If you’ve chosen whether you want active or passive speakers, the next thing to decide is how many speakers you are going to need in your bathroom.

Given that bathrooms are generally some of the smaller rooms in a house the most common recommendation we make is that you install a single stereo ceiling speaker (you can read more about them here).

For bigger bathrooms up to 5 metres x 5 metres, we generally recommend having a pair of speakers, giving you true stereo sound and better filling the room with audio.

If passive speakers would provide the best solution, below we have selected some of our most popular passive bathroom ceiling speakers at a number of price points, one of which will hopefully fit your budget. Our entry-level speakers provide a great sound but you will notice a higher quality of audio as you move through the range. Due to the nature of a bathroom environment, these speakers are all resistant to these higher levels of moisture and humidity:

Monitor Audio C165-T2 - £145 Each - Monitor Audio's C165-T2 features a 6.5-inch bass driver and two pivoting 25mm C-CAM tweeters, meaning it not only provides great-sounding stereo audio from a single speaker but also the option for directional sound. It will fill a small bathroom with good quality sound.

SpeakerCraft Profile AIM7 DT THREE – £249 Each - This speaker represents a step up in quality. The 7-inch bass driver delivers an impressive bass response and along with the dual pivoting aluminium 25mm tweeters will fill your bathroom with high-quality audio, along with the bonus of a lifetime warranty.

BluCube BCK-65 - £299 Per Pair - The BluCube BCK-65 is an excellent choice for medium-sized bathrooms. Featuring 6.5 inch woven Kevlar bass drivers and pivoting 25mm titanium dome tweeters they deliver excellent stereo sound and excellent directionality. 

As we mentioned earlier, passive ceiling speakers require an amplifier to power them through speaker cable and so we have selected some great amplifiers you could use. Some are best for driving a single zone whilst others are able to be integrated into a whole-house audio system:

Systemline E50 Bluetooth Amplifier (White) - £220 - Featuring a touch screen and gesture control, this is a great amp for a single zone bathroom solution. Simply connect to and control it via Bluetooth from your device. *Note - only the white version is suitable for bathrooms as it does not feature an AUX jack.

Sonos Amp - £599 - The Sonos Amp is one of our best-selling products. An ideal choice for a whole-house audio system, each amplifier outputs an impressive 125 watts per channel, getting the most out of your speakers and allowing you to link them up as zones and pick and choose where your audio plays via WiFi.
