Premium 8" in-ceiling speaker • CI Elite v2 platform • Advanced SHOCK-MOUNT™ System • Architectural home theater and whole-home audio solution
The Paradigm CI Elite E80-R v2 In-Ceiling Speaker is a premium architectural speaker engineered for high-performance home theater and distributed audio applications where clean aesthetics and serious sound quality both matter. Its 8-inch in-ceiling design allows it to deliver a larger, more authoritative presentation while remaining visually discreet within the room.
As part of Paradigm’s CI Elite v2 Series, the E80-R v2 incorporates advanced driver technology, improved vibration control, and Paradigm’s refined bezel-free micro-perf grille design. Whether used in a dedicated theater, media room, or luxury whole-home audio system, it is designed to provide immersive, dynamic sound while integrating seamlessly into the architecture of the space.
Installation note: this model is especially well suited for premium media rooms, immersive surround channels, and distributed audio systems where higher output and fuller sound are desired.
The CI Elite Series is designed for installations where architectural integration cannot come at the expense of acoustic performance.
