Description
Bluesound BCS300 Network Streaming Ceiling Speaker
The Bluesound BCS300 Network Streaming Ceiling Speaker is unlike traditional setups, this decentralized solution eliminates the need for an audio rack, functioning as an independent unit.
Moreover, its flush mounted design allows it to seamlessly blend with any interior design or décor. Its high-performance build includes a UL 2043 plenum rating, fully certifying it for commercial installation.
The optional pendant kit allows the BCS300 to be ceiling suspended and allows positioning of speakers at a lower height if there is nothing available to mount it at a typical height, especially in the case of exposed ceilings.
Based on the award-winning BluOS multi-room platform, the BCS300 enables multi-zone control, speaker grouping and integrated networked music streaming from Bluesound Professional’s business music partners: SOUNDMACHINE, Qsic, Custom Channels, SiriusXM for Business and Tunify.

Seamless Integration with Control Systems
Bluesound Professional’s line of commercial streaming hardware allows flexible control by third-party control systems, and interfaces exist for all of today’s market-leading automation platforms. BluOS®, the multi-zone, music sharing software that underpins all Bluesound Professional players and active speakers, communicates with third-party control systems and platforms so that A/V system integrators, business owners, consultants and system designers can design seamless audio ecosystems to meet the needs of any commercial installation.
Add Audio Streaming to Existing or New Installations
Bluesound Professional’s decentralized processing capabilities gives designers and installers maximum flexibility to add audio streaming to installations, whether existing or new.
Easy to Configure
Self-discovery makes set-up and configuration painless, as Bluesound Professional players placed onto the same network will find each other automatically. A few taps on the intuitive icons in the BluOS Controller app will group players to create zoned audio content and lock-out unauthorized users.
Optional Pendant Kit
The optional pendant kit allows the BCS250 and BCS300 to be transformed into a point-centered hanging pendant design, providing installers with ultimate flexibility to interchange between the two mounting options to accommodate for any type of infrastructure.
Featuring an elegant, lamp-shaped enclosure, the pendant design can serve as a hanging fixture in scenarios where audio needs to be brought closer to a listening height, especially in the case of high and/or exposed ceilings.
