Re: New in-wall speakers for bathromm
I finished the installation yesterday. One Beovox 1 in each bathroom, so, no stereo is available (I use them to hear the radio, news or magazines in the morning, when I wake up). This morning, speakers turned on with the timer function. I have to say the sound is totally clear, perfect to use like I want to use them. I am very satisfied with them  BTW, I made the installation in the ceiling, not in the wall

Not sure if I understand the question. I made the hole in the ceiling to fit the speaker.

Re: New in-wall speakers for bathromm
I understand now, thanks. I think it's called Acoustic Box (literal translation from spanish). No, they are not fitted in my ceiling, and sound is good enough.

These boxes are created for a new installation in a new ceiling, I guess. I can't see the way how to introduce them in my ceiling, only with the holes I made for the speakers.

You are welcome. Boxes are 70 euros, more or less, each one. You will have better sound, I bet.

Re: New in-wall speakers for bathromm
In my view in most cases the boxes are not needed. However if you are fitting them to the ceiling and there is a large ceiling void, then you may wish to consider using them.

Re: New in-wall speakers for bathromm
funcke:I’m definitely not a sound specialist. However, my step brother who is 15-years older than me taught me some general information about building speaker systems when I was a child. The upshot is that a speaker and its frequency-separating filter(s) is designed for a defined air volume – in case the purpose is to use it with a sealed box and not a ported one (http://www.diyaudioandvideo.com/FAQ/Speaker/). I would expect a sound quality loss if the speaker is used without the InWall cabinet. Maybe the difference is scarcely audible. Though, when there is the possibility to the use the InWall cabinet I would do it.
If it was not for the fact that we are talking about a bathroom, then I would agree. However, in a bathroom except if you have a very large void in the ceiling it should sound fine. My speakers in my bathroom ceiling provide a good sound quality which can just be heard above me splashing around in the bath.

Ok, somehow a bathroom has a „special“ sound characteristic and it’s disputable whether to go the complicated way or not. Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to hear the speakers the first time.

Re: New in-wall speakers for bathromm
So if I'm considering a wall, rather than ceiling installation I'd need the boxes? The wall I'm thinking off is actually over an open part of the end fo the bathroom where the washing machine, dryer and drying cabinet sit, so I presume it would be best to fit the boxes in that instance?

Re: New in-wall speakers for bathromm
Hi Guys, Having heard the BeoVox 1, I must say that they are good when properly installed in the back-boxes, but IMHO they are no better than speakers from other companies who specialise in wall/ceiling speakers (ie. Kef). Once cost is added to the equation, I would always recommend Kef above BeoVox 1. By the way, Beolink Passive is not essential, as you can use a Powerlink to RCA adapter cable (see link below for details) and drive any conventional hifi amplifier and passive speakers from a Powerlink socket (but without local remote control functions). Best regards, Steve.
