Best speakers for an airport
Quick answer
For airports, SSOUNDS installs voice alarm and PA systems that meet EN 54 and BS 5839-8, using column loudspeakers (LC8.2, LC16.2) for reverberant halls, ceiling loudspeakers (CL6, CL8) for concourses, and networked A series amplifiers with DSP and Dante for zoned paging and supervision.
Airport terminals demand intelligible speech in large, reverberant spaces, often with high ambient noise. SSOUNDS install range includes column loudspeakers (LC8.2, LC16.2) that control vertical dispersion to keep sound off ceilings and floors, improving STI. Ceiling loudspeakers (CL6, CL8) suit lower ceilings and offices, while P series (P4, P5, P6T, P10T, P12T) and M series point-source boxes cover gates, check-in and outdoor areas. T models operate on 70/100 V lines for long cable runs.
For voice alarm compliance, use EN 54 certified amplifiers and loudspeakers with line supervision and redundant amplification. SSOUNDS A series networked amplifiers with DSP and Dante provide zoned paging, monitoring and failover. Design zoning by fire compartment and operational need, and size systems using acoustic modelling to achieve target STI in each space.
