What is the best speaker for a conference room in Kumasi?
Quick answer
For a conference room in Kumasi, the best speaker is a ceiling loudspeaker from the SSOUNDS CL series (CL6 or CL8) or a slim column from the LC series (LC8.2 or LC16.2), driven by an SSOUNDS A series networked amplifier with DSP. These deliver even speech coverage, integrate with beamforming microphones and echo cancellation, and support simple one-touch control.
Conference rooms prioritise speech intelligibility, even coverage and clean integration with video calls. Ceiling loudspeakers such as the SSOUNDS CL6 and CL8 are ideal for low ceilings and distributed systems, providing discreet, uniform sound across the table. For rooms with higher ceilings or where ceiling installation is impractical, the SSOUNDS LC8.2 and LC16.2 slim column loudspeakers offer controlled vertical dispersion and high speech clarity from a wall or screen position. Both types integrate with DSP-based echo cancellation and beamforming microphones for seamless conferencing.
Sizing depends on room dimensions, ceiling height and seating layout. As a guide, ceiling loudspeakers should be spaced to achieve overlap at ear height, typically one unit per 2 to 3 metres of ceiling grid in a distributed design. Column loudspeakers suit rooms up to around 12 metres deep, with the column mounted at the front and aimed down the length of the table. For larger conference rooms or divisible spaces, SSOUNDS P series install loudspeakers (P4, P5, P6T, P10T, P12T) or M series point-source boxes provide higher SPL and can be combined with subwoofers if programme material requires. T models operate on 70/100 V lines for long cable runs.
All SSOUNDS install loudspeakers are designed to work with SSOUNDS A series networked amplifiers, which include DSP and Dante for flexible routing and control. This allows integrators to tune the system for the room, set delay and EQ, and provide one-touch operation via a control panel. SSOUNDS engineers use AI-assisted acoustic modelling to predict coverage and intelligibility before installation, ensuring the system meets the needs of the space.

For a conference room project, we recommend a site survey to assess acoustics, ceiling type and existing infrastructure. Contact SSOUNDS to discuss your requirements and receive a tailored design.
Key things to consider
- Ceiling loudspeakers (CL6, CL8) or slim columns (LC8.2, LC16.2) are best for conference room speech.
- Use SSOUNDS A series networked amplifiers with DSP and Dante for integration and control.
- Sizing: ceiling units spaced for overlap at ear height; columns for rooms up to about 12 m deep.
- Larger or divisible rooms may use P series or M series point-source loudspeakers.
