Description
Deliver clear announcements and fuller background music through a higher-output 6-inch commercial ceiling speaker.
The TEXONIC CM60T is a 6-inch coaxial two-way ceiling speaker designed for 70V and 100V commercial audio systems. Its selectable transformer taps, paintable white grille and flush-mount design make it a practical choice for restaurants, retail stores, offices, schools, hotels, clinics, fitness facilities and other Canadian business spaces.
Higher-Output Ceiling Audio for Commercial Spaces
The CM60T provides transformer taps ranging from lower-output background-music settings to a 30W maximum tap on a 100V system.
This wider power range allows the same speaker model to be used in quiet offices, general customer areas and larger rooms that require stronger sound. Each speaker can be set according to its location while remaining part of the same distributed audio system.
Coaxial Two-Way Driver
The CM60T uses a 6-inch coaxial PP two-way driver that reproduces voice announcements and background music from one compact ceiling assembly.
The coaxial arrangement places the high-frequency section near the centre of the main driver. This supports balanced coverage and helps maintain clear speech and music throughout the listening area.
Designed for Music, Paging and Announcements
The CM60T is suitable for commercial systems that need dependable everyday background music together with clear voice communication.
- Background music during normal business hours
- Customer and staff announcements
- General paging throughout a building
- Training and presentation audio
- Multi-room and multi-zone commercial speaker systems
Recommended Business Applications
| Application | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Restaurant or Café | Dining-area music and staff announcements |
| Retail Store | Sales-floor music and customer paging |
| Office | Reception, workspace and staff-room audio |
| School | Classroom, hallway and common-area announcements |
| Hotel | Lobby, corridor, meeting-room and hospitality audio |
| Medical Clinic | Waiting-room music and general announcements |
| Fitness Facility | Reception, change-area and general facility audio |
70V and 100V Distributed Audio Compatibility
The built-in transformer allows the CM60T to connect to compatible 70V or 100V commercial amplifiers.
Constant-voltage audio systems make it practical to install multiple speakers over longer cable distances. Speakers are normally connected in parallel, and the selected transformer-tap wattage of every speaker is added together to calculate the amplifier load.
Selectable Power Taps
| Speaker-Line Voltage | Low Tap | Medium Tap | High Tap |
|---|---|---|---|
| 70V | 3.5W | 7.5W | 15W |
| 100V | 7.5W | 15W | 30W |
The tap wattage changes according to the selected speaker-line voltage.
Always calculate the system using the tap values that match the amplifier’s actual 70V or 100V output.
Choosing the Best Tap for Each Area
The transformer tap controls the amount of amplifier power used by the speaker and helps determine its approximate sound level.
- Use lower taps in hallways, offices, washrooms and quiet rooms.
- Use medium taps in reception areas, cafés and normal retail spaces.
- Use higher taps in larger rooms or areas with more background noise.
- Speakers connected to the same amplifier may use different taps.
- Recalculate the complete load whenever a tap setting is changed.
Match the Speaker Load to the Amplifier
Add the selected wattage tap of every speaker connected to the amplifier. The final total must remain within the amplifier’s rated output.
For dependable commercial music and paging, maintaining approximately 20% unused amplifier capacity provides practical operating headroom.
| Amplifier Rating | 20% Reserve | Recommended Maximum Tap Load |
|---|---|---|
| 60W | 12W | Approximately 48W |
| 120W | 24W | Approximately 96W |
| 240W | 48W | Approximately 192W |
| 350W | 70W | Approximately 280W |
Example Speaker and Amplifier Combinations
| Example Configuration | Total Speaker Load | Recommended Amplifier Size |
|---|---|---|
| 6 speakers at 7.5W | 45W | 60W or higher |
| 6 speakers at 15W | 90W | 120W or higher |
| 8 speakers at 7.5W | 60W | 120W or higher |
| 12 speakers at 15W | 180W | 240W or higher |
These examples are intended for basic load planning. The final speaker quantity and tap settings also depend on room size, ceiling height, speaker spacing, background noise and the required listening level.
Important 70V and 100V Connection Notice
Select the correct speaker tap before connecting or operating the system.
Connect the speaker to an amplifier output that matches the chosen 70V or 100V tap.
Do not connect the CM60T directly to a conventional 4-ohm or 8-ohm amplifier output.
Keep wiring polarity consistent throughout the complete speaker line.
Switch off and disconnect the amplifier before installing speakers or changing tap and wiring connections.
Flush-Mount Ceiling Installation
The CM60T installs into a 200mm ceiling opening and sits flush against the finished ceiling surface.
Use the supplied cutout template to mark the opening. Before cutting, inspect the area above the ceiling for electrical cables, plumbing, ductwork, framing and other hidden obstructions.
Clean, Paintable White Finish
The white metal grille and ABS trim provide a simple, professional appearance for commercial interiors.
The grille and trim may be painted when a closer match to the ceiling colour is required. Remove or protect the grille openings and speaker components so paint does not block the acoustic perforations or enter the driver assembly.
Plan for Even Sound Coverage
Several evenly distributed speakers normally provide smoother background-music coverage than a small number of speakers operating at very high volume.
- Distribute speakers throughout the main listening area.
- Avoid placing all speakers close to one wall or entrance.
- Allow for walls, shelving and other sound-blocking objects.
- Use closer spacing in noisy or divided commercial areas.
- Confirm the ceiling structure can support the installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the CM60T connect to a normal home stereo amplifier?
No. The CM60T is designed for a compatible 70V or 100V commercial amplifier. It should not be connected directly to a standard 4-ohm or 8-ohm stereo output.
Can several CM60T speakers connect to one amplifier?
Yes. Multiple CM60T speakers may be connected to one compatible constant-voltage amplifier when the total selected tap wattage remains within the amplifier’s safe operating capacity.
Can different speakers use different tap settings?
Yes. One speaker may use a lower tap in a quiet room while another uses a higher tap in a larger or louder area. Add every selected tap when calculating the amplifier load.
Is the CM60T suitable for music and announcements?
Yes. Its coaxial two-way driver and selectable power taps make it suitable for commercial background music, paging and general voice announcements.
Is the CM60T fire rated or plenum rated?
The published specifications do not state a fire or plenum rating. Confirm the project’s building-code and ceiling-space requirements before installation.
