Meet the CI Elite E80-A v2

The Paradigm CI Elite E80-A v2 In-Ceiling Speaker is designed for premium custom-install systems where high-performance sound needs to blend cleanly into the room. Its angled in-ceiling design makes it especially useful for directing sound toward the listening area, whether it is being used for front-stage audio, surround effects, or immersive theater applications.

As part of Paradigm’s CI Elite v2 Series, the E80-A v2 is built for refined media rooms, living spaces, and dedicated theater systems where architectural discretion and engaging sound quality both matter.

Installation note: angled in-ceiling speakers are especially helpful when ceiling placement needs to aim sound more directly toward the main listening position.

• Clean architectural installation — delivers premium sound while keeping speakers visually discreet.

Technology & Design

Paradigm’s CI Elite v2 speakers are engineered for installations where performance needs to feel powerful, precise, and fully integrated into the room. The angled design of the E80-A v2 allows installers to better focus sound toward the listening area compared with a standard down-firing ceiling speaker.

This makes the Paradigm CI Elite E80-A v2 In-Ceiling Speaker a smart solution for rooms where wall speaker placement is limited, where a cleaner visual layout is desired, or where ceiling-based channels need a stronger sense of direction and presence.

Pair it with matching Paradigm CI Elite v2 in-wall, surround, height, and subwoofer solutions for a complete high-performance architectural theater system.
