What is the best speaker for an airport in Stockholm?

Airports demand exceptional speech intelligibility, reliable voice alarm, and flexible zoning. In large, reverberant spaces like check-in halls and departure lounges, sound must remain clear despite high ceilings and glass surfaces. SSOUNDS install range addresses this with purpose-built loudspeakers and networked amplification. The CL6 and CL8 ceiling loudspeakers provide discreet, even coverage in lower-ceiling areas such as corridors and retail zones. For high, reverberant volumes, the LC8.2 and LC16.2 slim column loudspeakers deliver controlled vertical dispersion, keeping sound on the audience and off reflective surfaces, which raises STI. In larger open areas, P4, P5, P6T, P10T and P12T install loudspeakers (T models for 70/100 V line) offer higher SPL and pattern control. M series point-source boxes and subwoofers handle baggage halls or outdoor piers where extended bandwidth is needed.

Selection and sizing follow a clear process. First, define zones based on operational needs: check-in, security, gates, baggage reclaim, and public address areas. Each zone requires its own amplifier channel and supervision. Next, model the acoustic environment. Use ceiling loudspeakers where ceilings are below 4 metres and coverage can be dense. Use column loudspeakers in spaces with ceilings above 4 metres or where reverberation time exceeds 1.5 seconds. For very large volumes, line arrays or point-source boxes may be required, but often a distributed system of columns and ceilings provides better intelligibility at lower cost. SSOUNDS engineers use AI-assisted acoustic modelling to predict STI and coverage, ensuring the design meets EN 54 and BS 5839-8 before installation. Amplification uses A series networked amplifiers with DSP and Dante, providing redundant paths, line supervision, and zoning. All loudspeakers are supervised for line integrity, and the system includes redundant amplifiers for critical voice alarm circuits.

SSOUNDS designs and installs across Stockholm, working with integrators, consultants, and airport technical teams. Our engineering heritage since 2013 and over 700 major productions inform every project. We do not offer a one-size-fits-all speaker; the right choice depends on the specific space. For a Stockholm airport, we would typically specify a mix of CL6/CL8 ceilings, LC8.2/LC16.2 columns, and P series install loudspeakers, all managed by A series amplifiers. This approach delivers the intelligibility, reliability, and compliance that airports require. To discuss your project, contact SSOUNDS for a tailored design and quote.
