What is the best speaker for a restaurant in Salt Lake City?

Restaurants need even background music with speech still easy. The engineering answer is many small loudspeakers at low level rather than a few loud ones. SSOUNDS install range includes CL6 and CL8 ceiling loudspeakers, P4, P5, P6T, P10T and P12T install loudspeakers, LC8.2 and LC16.2 slim column loudspeakers, M series point-source boxes and subwoofers, and A series networked amplifiers with DSP and Dante. For most dining rooms, ceiling loudspeakers on a 70/100 V line (the T models) give the coverage and level control you need.

Selection depends on ceiling height, room shape and noise floor. Low ceilings suit CL6 or CL8 ceiling models spaced for even coverage. High or open ceilings often work better with P series pendant or surface mount loudspeakers aimed at listeners. LC8.2 and LC16.2 columns are useful for tight spaces or where you want music directed at seating and away from hard reflective walls. Add an M series subwoofer only if the music format needs low end, and keep it at modest level so speech stays clear.

Zone control is essential: separate dining areas, bar and waiting zones so each can run at its own level. SSOUNDS A series networked amplifiers with DSP and Dante make this straightforward, with presets and limiting to protect the system. Acoustic treatment advice matters too: reduce hard reflections with absorptive panels or soft furnishings to improve speech intelligibility without raising volume.
