What is the best speaker for a conference room in Edmonton?

Conference rooms prioritise speech intelligibility, even coverage and seamless integration with video conferencing. Ceiling loudspeakers such as the SSOUNDS CL6 and CL8 are ideal for low ceilings and distributed systems, providing discreet, uniform coverage. For rooms with higher ceilings or where ceiling installation is impractical, the LC8.2 and LC16.2 slim column loudspeakers offer controlled vertical dispersion and excellent speech clarity. Where higher SPL or music playback is required, the P4, P5, P6T, P10T and P12T install loudspeakers (T models for 70/100 V lines) or M series point-source boxes and subwoofers can be specified.

Selection and sizing depend on room dimensions, seating layout and acoustic treatment. As a rule, ceiling loudspeakers should be spaced to achieve overlap at ear height (typically 2 to 4 times ceiling height above listener ears), while columns work well flanking a display or mounted on the wall. For beamforming microphones and DSP echo cancellation, choose loudspeakers that integrate cleanly with the conferencing DSP; SSOUNDS A series networked amplifiers with onboard DSP and Dante provide the necessary processing and routing. Always aim for a signal-to-noise ratio that keeps speech at least 15 dB above background noise, and ensure uniform coverage within 3 dB across the seating area.

SSOUNDS designs and installs conference room audio systems across Edmonton. Our engineers use AI-assisted acoustic modelling to predict coverage and intelligibility before installation, ensuring the right loudspeaker type and placement for your specific room. Whether you need a simple ceiling system or a full networked solution with Dante, we specify, supply and commission systems that meet the demands of modern hybrid meetings.
