Desono C-IC6

What the Desono C-IC6 Black delivers in a meeting room

The Desono C-IC6 Black is a passive, two-way in-ceiling loudspeaker built for speech. A 6.5-inch woofer and a 1-inch soft dome tweeter share a coaxial, bridge-mounted design, so voices from the far end of a table or from a remote team carry evenly across the room. The unit measures 5.9 inches (150 mm) deep and 10.9 inches (277 mm) across, and weighs 7.8 lb (3.5 kg).

Its 130-degree conical dispersion is tuned for low ceilings, which makes it a practical choice where an even spread of sound matters more than a long throw. It is rated at 60W continuous, covers 60 Hz to 20 kHz and has an 8-ohm nominal impedance.

Installation features that reduce site time

The speaker blind-mounts from below the ceiling, so the installer works from the room side without needing access above the tiles. The magnetic grille lifts off without tools, which helps when a technician needs to reach the driver later. This model carries a black finish to RAL 9017. Grilles are also offered in white and red, and can be painted to match the room decor.

Connectivity is flexible. The C-IC6 accepts audio over standard category cable or conventional speaker cable. Because its 8-ohm impedance allows daisy chaining, several units can be wired on one run. For a network-led installation, the speaker integrates directly with the Tesira AMP-450BP, a four-channel PoE+ backpack amplifier sold separately, which reduces wiring and installation time.

Where it fits across Qatar

A boardroom on a higher floor in West Bay with a recessed or dark ceiling is a natural fit. The black grille keeps the speaker visually quiet, and the 130-degree coverage spreads speech across a conventional boardroom table.

A ministry meeting room in Msheireb that runs Teams calls with agencies abroad benefits from the Microsoft Teams certification and clear speech reproduction. A hotel conference room in Doha that needs a discreet ceiling system matched to its decor is another good fit, as is a small seminar room at Education City where a lecturer and remote guests share one audio system.

The data lists this speaker for indoor use only, and no operating temperature range is given. Rooms next to glazing or covered terraces need checking, because summer heat above 45°C and dust storms affect equipment exposed to outside air. Keep the speaker in enclosed indoor rooms, and confirm the room conditions during a free site survey before fixing units.

What to plan before you order

• Count the speakers each room needs. The manufacturer lists this model sold in pairs, so confirm pairing in your quotation.
• Confirm the ceiling void allows the 5.9-inch (150 mm) body depth before cutting any openings.
• Decide between CAT cable and speaker wire, and whether a Tesira AMP-450BP will drive the speakers.
• Choose the grille finish early. This model is supplied with a black RAL 9017 grille.
