Bogen CSD2X2U-V2 Drop-In Ceiling Speaker — 8-Ohm / 70V / 25V Nyquist-Compatible

The Bogen CSD2X2U-V2 Drop-In Ceiling Speaker is a multi-input commercial audio solution compatible with 8-ohm, 70V, and 25V distributed audio systems, including the Bogen Nyquist IP network platform. Delivering 94 dB SPL at 1W/1m and a frequency response of 95 Hz to 20 kHz, this 2x2 drop-in unit serves IP network designers and system integrators who need a single speaker adaptable across multiple deployment scenarios.

For professionals evaluating the best 2x2 drop-in ceiling speaker for commercial audio — whether for healthcare, education, corporate, or retail environments — the CSD2X2U-V2 stands apart through its dual-role capability. It can function as a standard distributed speaker or convert into a Nyquist-compatible IP intercom speaker with the addition of a GA10P(V) amplifier and optional call switch. For larger installations, the unit supports daisy-chaining of multiple 70V ceiling speakers, making it well-suited for expanding audio coverage across zones without additional amplifier hardware.

Designed to simplify the work of audio system integrators, the CSD2X2U-V2 installs directly into a 2x2 ceiling grid with connections made via included wire nuts. Its selectable power taps (0.25W–4W) provide precise level management across distributed 25V/70V speaker chains. The unit is listed to UL Standard 62368, meeting the audio/video and IT equipment safety standard required for commercial and institutional installations. Optional integration of the NQ-GAXMR1 distributed audio transformer enables full 25V/70V amplifier source functionality.

Key Features of the Bogen CSD2X2U-V2 Nyquist Ceiling Speaker
