ArylicCeiling audio system
WBC65 master + slave pair
6.5-inch architectural stereo pair with streaming and amplification built into the master speaker.
SKELVAR Complete Systems · Architectural Ceiling
Streaming, amplification and speakers built into the ceiling as one clean room system.
The SKELVAR Architectural Ceiling System is the simplest route to built-in audio in a kitchen, living area, office, retail space or hospitality zone. Arylic WBC65 combines a powered master ceiling speaker, matching slave speaker, Wi-Fi streaming and amplification in one pair, reducing visible equipment and avoiding a separate amplifier cabinet for a single-zone installation.

Recommended core specification
The starting configuration.
These are the recommended core components for this pathway. A quotation may substitute a model where room requirements, stock, destination-market version or customer priorities make another approved option more suitable.
ArylicStreaming
Streaming
AirPlay 2 / Spotify Connect / network audio pathway
Network playback is built into the ceiling system, with Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth and compatible streaming protocols available on the current model.
Amplification
Amplification
Integrated 50 W × 2 pathway
Power amplification is built into the master speaker, removing the need for a separate visible amplifier in a simple single-zone room.
Installation

Ceiling depth, cutout, cable route, power-supply location, ceiling construction and access are checked before the final installation plan is confirmed.
ArylicAlternative passive pathway
RK525 + A50+ / HA400
For projects needing separate amplification, multiple zones or a more conventional passive architectural-speaker design.
ArylicCompact wet-area option
CK30C pathway
Smaller IP66 ceiling-speaker option for selected bathrooms, sheltered exterior zones or spaces where visual aperture is critical, subject to project suitability.
Why this combination
Each component has a reason to be here.
WBC65 is the cleanest one-room architectural solution in the current range because source, network control and amplification are already built into the speaker system. That reduces equipment clutter and makes it particularly useful in interiors where the technology should disappear. Passive RK525 / CK30C pathways remain available when a project needs centralised amplification or multiple zones.

Optional upgrades
Move the package up without rebuilding it from scratch.
Upgrades stay within the same room-first logic. The objective is to add capability where it changes the experience, not simply to make the equipment list longer.
Passive architectural upgrade
Use RK525 with separate amplification where driver aiming, room tuning or central equipment architecture is preferred.
Multiroom expansion
Move to A50+, H400 or HA400 architecture when several rooms need independent or grouped control rather than one self-contained zone.
Compact aperture
Use CK30C where a smaller ceiling footprint or selected IP66 application is required, subject to exact room and exposure conditions.
Wall-mount alternative
Use RK30 wall / ceiling cube speakers where in-ceiling installation is impractical or directional placement is preferable.
Commercial pathway
Extend the system into offices, retail, hospitality or common areas with project-specific zoning and control planning.
Whole-home step-up
Move to the H400 / HA400 four-zone architecture when the brief grows into a centrally managed multi-room installation.
