What is the best speaker for an airport in Rio de Janeiro?

Airports demand voice alarm and public address that meets EN 54 and BS 5839-8 standards, with high speech intelligibility (STI) in large reverberant halls, zoned paging, line supervision and redundant amplification. SSOUNDS engineers approach this by matching loudspeaker type to each acoustic zone: ceiling loudspeakers for low, absorbent spaces; columns for tall, reflective volumes; and point-source or line array boxes for very large or long-throw areas.

For check-in halls, corridors and offices with standard ceilings, SSOUNDS CL6 and CL8 ceiling loudspeakers provide even coverage and discreet installation. In reverberant spaces such as baggage claim or departure lounges, SSOUNDS LC8.2 and LC16.2 slim column loudspeakers deliver controlled vertical directivity to keep sound on the listeners and off reflective surfaces, improving STI. For large open zones, piers or high ceilings, SSOUNDS P4, P5, P6T, P10T and P12T install loudspeakers offer higher SPL and longer throw; the T models run on 70/100 V lines for efficient distributed systems.

Sizing and selection follow a simple process: define the coverage area and required SPL, model the space with SSOUNDS AI-assisted acoustic prediction, then choose loudspeaker type, spacing and power taps to achieve target STI. SSOUNDS A series networked amplifiers with DSP and Dante handle zoning, supervision and redundancy, and can be configured for EN 54 compliant voice alarm. SSOUNDS designs and installs across Rio de Janeiro, with support from our UK, US, Nigeria and Ghana bases for international projects.

For a specific airport project, contact SSOUNDS to discuss your requirements and receive a tailored design. We do not publish prices because system cost depends on venue size, coverage, box count, amplification, rigging and commissioning; a quote is provided after a site survey and acoustic model.
