ATEN AS104 2-way Ceiling Mountable Speaker - 30 W RMS - White

The ATEN AS104 represents a practical, reliable ceiling-mounted audio solution designed for commercial and residential spaces where discreet installation meets dependable sound. This pair of 4" coaxial 2-way ceiling loudspeakers blends compact, space-saving design with clear, balanced audio performance. Each speaker delivers 30 W RMS (60 W peak) into 8 ohms, providing ample headroom for background music, paging, and light multimedia playback in environments like retail stores, offices, classrooms, restaurants, and hospitality venues. With a clean white finish that blends into most ceilings, the AS104 offers a discreet aesthetic without sacrificing sonic fidelity. Whether you’re upgrading an existing ceiling system or installing a new audio setup, the AS104 is built to deliver consistent, intelligible sound across a wide listening area.

• Coaxial 2‑way design for uniform coverage. The AS104 uses a 4" woofer paired with a 20 mm dome tweeter in a coaxial configuration, engineered to deliver a balanced blend of midrange punch and crisp highs. This arrangement minimizes phase differences and delivers even sound dispersion across the listening area, helping to reduce hot spots and dead zones. Ideal for background music or paging in spaces where a ceiling-install solution is preferred for aesthetics and safety, the AS104 maintains clarity whether the room is fully staffed or filled with customers.
• Robust power handling for small to medium spaces. Each speaker provides 30 W RMS with a 60 W peak capability into 8 ohms, offering reliable dynamics for everyday audio scenes. The power rating translates into comfortable system headroom when paired with a suitable amplifier or AV receiver, ensuring clean, distortion-free playback even at moderate listening levels. This makes the AS104 a versatile choice for retail zones, offices, classrooms, cafés, and other mid-sized environments where clear dialogue and pleasant background music are essential.
• Discreet ceiling installation with white finish. The white enclosure is designed to blend seamlessly with most interior ceilings, delivering a low-profile, unobtrusive look. The compact 4" woofer and 20 mm tweeter sit flush within the ceiling space, which helps maintain the room’s aesthetic while providing solid sonic performance. The ceiling-mountable form factor also contributes to safer, unobstructed environments—an important consideration in public or high-traffic areas.
• Versatile applications for diverse spaces. The AS104 is well-suited for a range of settings, including retail stores, shopping malls, offices, educational facilities, restaurants, lounges, and hotel lobbies. Its 2-way coaxial design delivers clear voice reproduction for paging and announcements while delivering background music with musical detail and fidelity. The white, unobtrusive appearance plus the pair-based configuration makes it an economical, scalable solution for multi-zone audio where an integrated ceiling layout is preferred.
• Durable, reliable performance for ongoing use. Built for indoor environments, the AS104 emphasizes dependable operation within its intended spaces. The combination of a sturdy 4" woofer, precise 20 mm tweeter, and a coaxial layout contributes to a consistent, predictable sound signature across different room acoustics. With a focus on long-term reliability, these ceiling speakers are a practical choice for facilities that require stable audio coverage with minimal maintenance.

How to install ATEN AS104

• Prepare your workspace by turning off power to the room’s audio system and ensuring you have access to a suitable ceiling cavity and a safe mounting surface. Verify that the mounting location will accommodate the speaker’s dimensions and that there is enough space for the back-can or mounting bracket, if used.
• Plan the layout for even sound coverage. For ceilings, place speakers at a height and spacing that minimize loudness discrepancies across the listening area. If you’re installing multiple units, maintain consistent orientation and ensure cables run neatly to each location.
• Run the speaker cable from your amplifier or receiver to each ceiling location. Use appropriate gauge wire and a conduit or safe routing path as required by local electrical codes. Strain-relief and proper cable management helps protect the wiring and preserves a clean install.
• Make the cutouts in the ceiling according to the manufacturer’s template or the standard size for the AS104. Carefully insert the speakers into the ceiling, align them flush with the surface, and secure them with the provided mounting hardware or brackets. Ensure the drivers are clear of obstructions and the enclosure sits evenly.
• Connect the speaker wires to the AS104 terminals with correct polarity. Restore power to the system, test the sound at a low level, and gradually increase to your preferred listening level. Check for consistent channel balance, and adjust the amplifier’s settings if needed to achieve even coverage across the space.
