Meet the CI Home H65-SM v2
The Paradigm CI Home H65-SM v2 In-Ceiling Speaker is designed for rooms where a single ceiling speaker needs to provide stereo sound. Its stereo/mono design makes it especially useful for smaller spaces, hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, offices, and other audio zones where installing a traditional left/right speaker pair may not be practical.
As part of Paradigm’s updated CI Home v2 Series, the H65-SM v2 gives homeowners a clean architectural speaker solution for everyday music, distributed audio, and room-friendly custom installation.
Installation note: stereo/mono speakers are especially useful for compact spaces or single-speaker zones where both left and right audio need to come from one ceiling location.

Technology & Design
Stereo/mono in-ceiling speakers are designed for installations where the room layout, ceiling space, or budget makes a traditional two-speaker stereo pair less practical. By reproducing stereo information from one location, the H65-SM v2 helps bring music into smaller or secondary rooms without overcomplicating the system.
The Paradigm CI Home H65-SM v2 In-Ceiling Speaker is a smart fit for distributed audio systems where certain rooms only need one speaker, but still benefit from a fuller stereo-style presentation than a basic single-channel ceiling speaker.
Pair it with matching Paradigm CI Home v2 in-ceiling and in-wall speakers, a multi-room amplifier, or a compatible audio control system for a complete whole-home audio setup.
