# Passive Ceiling Speakers Passive ceiling speakers are the most popular way to add discreet, high-quality sound to any room in your home. Unlike active speakers, they have no built-in amplifier, which gives you complete freedom to choose the sound quality, power and features that suit your space & budgets. ## What Makes Passive Ceiling Speakers Different A passive speaker takes its power from a separate amplifier, connected using standard two-core speaker cable. That separation is a genuine advantage. You can pair modest speakers with a simple amp for background music, or partner premium drivers with a quality amplifier for proper Hi-Fi sound, and upgrade either part later without starting again. If you are not sure whether you need one, our guide on [whether you need an amplifier](https://www.kbaudio.co.uk/blogs/audio-101/do-ceiling-speakers-need-an-amplifier) explains it in plain terms. ## Choosing the Right Amplifier and Setup The key is matching your speakers to [a compatible ceiling speaker amplifier](https://www.kbaudio.co.uk/collections/ceiling-speaker-amplifiers) on both impedance and power handling. Most stereo amplifiers comfortably drive up to four passive speakers, and you can run more using a speaker selector switch. Our [amplifier buying guide](https://www.kbaudio.co.uk/blogs/audio-101/how-to-choose-an-amplifier-for-ceiling-speakers) walks through ohm loads and wiring. For bathrooms and en-suites, choose [moisture-resistant ceiling speakers](https://www.kbaudio.co.uk/collections/waterproof-ceiling-speakers) built to cope with steam and humidity. Prefer to skip the guesswork? Our [ready-to-install ceiling speaker bundles](https://www.kbaudio.co.uk/collections/ceiling-speaker-systems) pair the right speakers and amp for you, tried and tested by our team. ## Products in this collection -
