Clear Background Music & Paging with a Clean Ceiling Finish
The NORTHLINE NL6T is a compact in-ceiling speaker designed for clear background music, voice paging and everyday commercial audio. Its low-profile construction and white magnetic grille provide a discreet appearance in finished business interiors.
Selectable 70V and 100V transformer taps make the NL6T easy to use in distributed commercial speaker systems, while an 8-ohm bypass provides flexibility for compatible low-impedance applications.
Why Choose the NORTHLINE NL6T?
A Practical Choice for Commercial Background Audio
The NL6T works especially well where speech clarity, discreet appearance and even distributed coverage are more important than high-volume foreground music or deep bass.
Using several ceiling speakers throughout a space allows music and announcements to be distributed more evenly at comfortable listening levels instead of relying on a small number of louder speakers.
Commercial Applications
Installer-Friendly Multi-Speaker Wiring
The NL6T uses a removable Euro-style connector with separate LINE IN + / − and LINE OUT + / − connections. The parallel output allows the speaker cable to continue directly to the next NL6T, helping keep larger commercial installations clean and organized.
Flexible Power Tap Settings
Select the speaker wattage to suit the required listening level and the number of speakers connected to the amplifier.
