Lithe Audio 8" Bluetooth Auracast Ceiling Speaker Pair Kit | 03310

Active & Passive 8" Ceiling Speaker Pair with Bluetooth 5.4, Auracast & 2 x 50W Amplification

The Lithe Audio 03310 8" Bluetooth Auracast Ceiling Speaker Pair Kit is a powerful, discreet two-speaker ceiling audio system designed for larger rooms, professional installations and shared listening environments.

The kit combines one active 8" Bluetooth Auracast ceiling speaker with one matching passive 8" ceiling speaker. The active speaker contains the Bluetooth receiver, Auracast technology and 2 x 50W RMS digital Class D amplifier, while the second speaker connects directly to the active unit using speaker cable.

This all-in-one arrangement provides a clean two-speaker stereo system without requiring a separate amplifier. Connect power to the active speaker, link the passive speaker, select the required mono/stereo configuration and connect your audio source.

With Bluetooth 5.4, LE Audio and Auracast™ broadcast capability, the 03310 also takes wireless ceiling audio beyond traditional one-to-one Bluetooth pairing. Compatible listeners and receiving devices can join an Auracast audio broadcast, opening up possibilities for hotels, gyms, meeting rooms, education, retail, accessible venues and other shared listening spaces.

Power it. Link it. Broadcast it.

Complete Active & Passive Speaker Pair

Unlike the single-speaker 03300 package, the Lithe Audio 03310 is supplied as a complete active and passive speaker pair.

The kit comprises:

• 1 x Active LBT8 Bluetooth Auracast Ceiling Speaker
• 1 x Matching Passive 8" Ceiling Speaker

The active unit contains the amplification and wireless technology required to operate the system. Speaker cable is then run from its speaker output to the matching passive speaker.

This creates a clean two-speaker installation without requiring a conventional external amplifier.

2 x 50W RMS Amplification

At the heart of the active speaker is a digital Class D amplifier delivering 2 x 50W RMS.

One amplifier channel drives the active speaker while the second powers the included passive speaker, giving the pair dedicated amplification from one integrated system.

This combination makes the 03310 particularly attractive for larger rooms where a single ceiling speaker may not provide the required coverage or stereo separation.

True Two-Speaker Ceiling Audio

The supplied passive speaker allows audio to be distributed across two ceiling locations.

A built-in mono/stereo selector switch enables the system to be configured appropriately for the listening environment.

Stereo operation is ideal where the listening position allows useful left/right separation, while mono operation can be valuable in applications where consistent coverage throughout the space takes priority.

Auracast Broadcast Audio

The 03310 supports Auracast™, the next generation of Bluetooth broadcast audio.

Traditional Bluetooth commonly establishes a direct connection between individual devices. Auracast introduces the ability for a compatible audio source to broadcast audio that multiple compatible receiving devices can join.

This provides an entirely different approach to audio in shared spaces.

Compatible receivers, earbuds and hearing devices can access an available broadcast, subject to the capabilities and configuration of the complete Auracast system.

One Source, Many Listeners

Auracast makes the 03310 particularly useful in environments where many people need access to the same audio.

Potential applications include shared:

• Music
• Television Audio
• Presentations
• Announcements
• Educational Content
• Meeting Audio
• Hospitality Entertainment

Instead of limiting the experience to sound from the ceiling speakers alone, compatible personal listening devices can potentially join the same broadcast.

Inclusive Listening

Auracast technology also introduces valuable possibilities for accessible and inclusive listening environments.

Compatible Auracast hearing aids, earbuds and other receivers can tune into an available broadcast for personal audio.

This makes the technology particularly relevant to meeting spaces, education, hospitality and other public or commercial environments where audio accessibility is an important consideration.

Compatibility must be confirmed across the transmitting source, receiving device and complete system.

Bluetooth 5.4 with LE Audio

The active speaker incorporates Bluetooth 5.4 with LE Audio and Auracast broadcast capability.

It can also be used with conventional compatible Bluetooth-enabled devices, including smartphones, tablets and computers.

Standard Bluetooth range is specified at up to 30 metres, subject to environmental conditions.

Walls, building materials, interference and device capabilities can all influence actual wireless performance.

Up to 100m Auracast Range

Auracast wireless range is specified at up to 100 metres, depending on the installation environment.

This extended potential range makes the system especially interesting for larger commercial and shared spaces.

As with any wireless system, the quoted range should be regarded as an environmental maximum rather than a guaranteed distance in every building.

Powerful 8" Graphite Cone Drivers

Both speakers use an 8" graphite-cone woofer, providing the larger radiating area required for powerful room-filling audio.

The 8" format makes the pair particularly suitable for larger rooms, open-plan areas and commercial spaces where smaller ceiling speakers may require additional units to achieve the desired coverage.

1" Magnesium-Aluminium Alloy Tweeters

Each speaker incorporates a 1" magnesium-aluminium alloy cone tweeter for high-frequency reproduction.

Combined with the 8" woofer, the system offers a specified 35Hz–23kHz frequency response, providing broad coverage across low, mid and high frequencies.

High-Quality Audio Performance

Key performance figures include:

• Amplification: 2 x 50W RMS
• Frequency Response: 35Hz–23kHz
• Sensitivity: 91dB at 1W/1m
• Impedance: 8 Ohms
• THD+N: <0.009%
• Amplifier Type: Digital Class D

This makes the pair suitable for everything from background music to more immersive room-filling audio.

No External Amplifier Required

One of the main advantages of the Lithe Audio system is that the amplifier is built directly into the active ceiling speaker.

There is no requirement to allocate cupboard, rack or shelf space to a separate amplifier.

This can simplify installation considerably and is especially useful for projects where a discreet finished appearance is required.

Simple Active-to-Passive Connection

Once the active speaker is powered, the included passive speaker connects to the active unit using speaker cable.

The active speaker's integrated second amplifier channel powers the passive unit.

This keeps the installation straightforward:

Add power → connect the passive speaker → select mono/stereo → connect your audio source.

The result is a professional two-speaker ceiling system with minimal additional hardware.

3.5mm Line-In for Wired Audio Sources

In addition to wireless Bluetooth connectivity, the active speaker provides a 3.5mm Line-In.

This allows suitable wired audio equipment to be incorporated into the system.

Potential sources include:

• Televisions
• Media Players
• Computers
• Audio Sources
• Turntables with a Suitable Preamp

This can be especially useful for permanent AV installations where a wired connection is preferred for a particular source.

Wireless Grouping with Lithe Sync

The system supports Lithe Sync wireless grouping using a Master/Slave configuration.

This provides a route to expanding the audio system beyond a single speaker pair where a larger or multi-zone installation is required.

It makes the 03310 particularly suitable as part of scalable residential, hospitality and commercial audio projects.

Alexa & Google Home Compatibility

The speaker system can connect to compatible Amazon Alexa and Google Home devices via Bluetooth.

This allows audio from suitable smart devices to be played through the ceiling speakers.

The 03310 should not, however, be described as containing Alexa or Google Assistant itself; smart-assistant functionality comes from the connected external device.

Designed for Straightforward In-Ceiling Installation

The speakers are designed to install into the ceiling in a similar manner to recessed lighting.

The supplied power arrangement connects to the active speaker, and speaker cable is then installed between the active and passive units.

With no separate amplifier required, the finished installation remains clean and discreet.

This approach is particularly attractive for new builds, refurbishments, hospitality fit-outs and professional AV projects.

The supplied power arrangement is specified as:

• Power Supply Input: 100–240V AC, 50/60Hz
• Transformer Output: 24V DC / 2.5A

Power can be provided through an appropriate lighting circuit or fused spur installation in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements.

An optional plug connection is also available separately for suitable socket-powered installations.

IP44 Rated

The speakers carry an IP44 rating, allowing them to be considered for suitable locations including kitchens and appropriate bathroom installations.

Lithe Audio specifies suitability for bathroom Zones 2/3, subject to correct installation and applicable electrical requirements.

The positioning and electrical installation must always comply with the relevant requirements for the room and location.

Frameless Magnetic Paintable Grilles

Both speakers use frameless magnetic grilles for a clean, discreet ceiling appearance.

The grilles can be painted to coordinate with the surrounding ceiling, helping the speakers blend into the interior rather than becoming a dominant visual feature.

Once fitted, the system delivers substantial audio performance while retaining a minimalist architectural finish.

Ideal for Hotels & Apartments

The 03310 includes several features particularly useful for hospitality and managed accommodation.

Zone renaming via the Lithe Audio Setup App helps identify individual audio zones, while optional PIN setup can provide additional control over connections.

A 50% / 100% volume capping switch can also restrict maximum output where required.

These features make the system attractive for hotels, serviced apartments and managed residential projects.

03310 Pair Kit vs 03300 Single Speaker

The key difference between the two configurations is the number of speakers supplied.

Lithe Audio 03300 provides one active 8" Bluetooth Auracast ceiling speaker. Its integrated amplifier has provision to power an additional compatible passive speaker.

Lithe Audio 03310 provides the complete pair from the outset, with one active speaker and one matching passive 8" speaker.

For installations where two-speaker coverage or stereo playback is already planned, the 03310 provides the convenient complete pair-kit solution.

Important Auracast Compatibility Information

Auracast functionality depends on compatible equipment throughout the audio chain.

The precise broadcast and personal-listening features available will depend on the capabilities of the source device, speaker system and receiving devices such as earbuds or hearing aids.

Where the system is being specified specifically for accessible audio or hearing-device integration, compatibility should be confirmed for all equipment before installation.

Why Choose the Lithe Audio 03310?

The Lithe Audio 03310 8" Bluetooth Auracast Ceiling Speaker Pair Kit provides a complete two-speaker solution for projects where powerful audio, discreet installation and modern wireless connectivity are equally important.

With one active and one passive 8" speaker supplied together, there is no need to source a separate matching passive unit or install a conventional external amplifier. The active speaker's 2 x 50W RMS Class D amplifier powers both speakers, creating a neat and efficient ceiling audio system.

The larger 8" graphite woofers, 1" magnesium-aluminium tweeters and broad 35Hz–23kHz frequency response make the pair particularly well suited to larger rooms and professional environments.

For customers who want a complete 8" Lithe Audio Auracast stereo pair rather than a single active speaker, the 03310 provides both speakers and integrated amplification in one streamlined package.

Power it. Link it. Broadcast it.
