Best speakers for a boardroom
Quick answer
For boardrooms, the best loudspeakers are discreet, high-intelligibility models that integrate with video conferencing and hide in the architecture. SSOUNDS install range includes ceiling, column, and point-source options, all matched to networked DSP amplifiers for premium speech and presentation audio.
A boardroom demands speech clarity, even coverage, and visual discretion. The room's size, ceiling height, and surface materials dictate the best loudspeaker type. For low ceilings with grid or plaster, SSOUNDS CL6 and CL8 ceiling loudspeakers provide wide, uniform coverage and blend into the ceiling. For rooms with hard reflective surfaces or high ceilings, SSOUNDS LC8.2 and LC16.2 slim column loudspeakers deliver controlled vertical dispersion, keeping sound on the seats and off the walls. Where a discreet box is preferred, SSOUNDS P4, P5, P6T, P10T, and P12T install loudspeakers offer flexible mounting; the T models run on 70/100 V lines for long cable runs and multiple units. For larger boardrooms or those needing music playback, SSOUNDS M series point-source boxes and subwoofers add full-range capability.
Selection and sizing: first determine the coverage area and required SPL. For speech, aim for 70 to 75 dB SPL with 10 to 15 dB headroom. Use ceiling loudspeakers spaced at 1.5 to 2 times the ceiling height for even coverage. Column loudspeakers suit rooms with high ceilings or glass walls, mounted vertically at the sides of the display. For video conferencing, ensure the loudspeakers are placed to avoid feedback with microphones, often near the display or above it. SSOUNDS A series networked amplifiers with DSP and Dante provide the processing, routing, and control needed, allowing hidden control via touch panels or software.
SSOUNDS designs and installs worldwide from our offices in the United Kingdom, United States, Nigeria, and Ghana. We work with integrators, consultants, and venue technical directors to specify the right system for each boardroom. Our engineering team uses AI-assisted acoustic modeling to predict coverage and optimize presets before installation. For projects outside our direct regions, we ship and support internationally from these bases.
To choose the best speakers for your boardroom, consider the room's architecture, the need for video conferencing integration, and the desire for hidden control. SSOUNDS offers a range of discreet, high-performance loudspeakers and networked amplifiers to meet these requirements. Contact us to discuss your project and request a quote.
