Elevate your listening spaces with a ceiling-mounted solution that disappears into the room yet delivers signature Electro-Voice clarity. The C4.2 2-way in-ceiling speaker combines a compact 4-inch woofer with a titanium-coated dome tweeter, thoughtfully paired with a waveguide to yield smooth, wide-frequency response. Designed for conventional rooms and spaces where aesthetics matter, this white-finish speaker blends with most décor while providing dependable performance for background music, home theaters, or multi-room audio systems. The ported and tuned enclosure is optimized for efficient bass in a discreet package, ensuring you enjoy full-range sound without drawing attention to the speakers themselves.

• The heart of the C4.2 is a compact 4-inch woofer paired with a titanium-coated dome tweeter. This two-way design uses a carefully engineered crossover and waveguide, delivering a smooth, wide-frequency response that spans from clear highs to solid, musical bass without harsh peaks or muddiness.
• Designed for in-ceiling installation, the C4.2’s driver arrangement and waveguide deliver controlled dispersion that fills conventional rooms with even sound. The result is a more consistent listening experience from multiple seating positions, whether you’re streaming music or watching movies.
• A ported and tuned enclosure enhances efficiency and bass extension without requiring a large footprint. The enclosure design helps maximize low-frequency output while maintaining a compact ceiling profile that remains unobtrusive and easy to blend with the room’s ceiling plane.
• The finish is a clean, white aesthetic that integrates seamlessly into standard ceiling textures. The grille and trim are designed to sit flush, minimizing visual intrusion while still allowing the driver to breathe and perform at its best.
• With a robust 50 W RMS power handling, the C4.2 is capable of delivering confident audio performance for everyday listening, home theaters, and lightweight commercial spaces. It’s built to handle typical living spaces without strain, delivering reliable, consistent sound at moderate listening levels.
