What is the best speaker for an airport in Lisbon?

An airport presents a unique set of acoustic challenges: large, reverberant halls, high ambient noise from aircraft and crowds, and a critical need for voice alarm and public address that meets EN 54 and BS 5839-8 standards. Intelligibility, measured as STI, is paramount. SSOUNDS install range is engineered to deliver clear, consistent speech across these environments, with a focus on controlled coverage and high speech transmission index.

Selection starts with the space. For low-ceiling areas such as concourses, lounges, and retail zones, SSOUNDS CL6 and CL8 ceiling loudspeakers provide even coverage with minimal visual impact. In reverberant halls, gate areas, and baggage claim, where ceiling height and reflections degrade intelligibility, SSOUNDS LC8.2 and LC16.2 slim column loudspeakers offer tight vertical coverage and high direct-to-reverberant ratio. For high-ceiling terminals, check-in halls, and outdoor zones, SSOUNDS P series (P4, P5, P6T, P10T, P12T) and M series point-source boxes deliver the necessary SPL and pattern control. T models operate on 70/100 V lines, ideal for long cable runs and distributed systems.

Sizing and zoning are critical. Airports require multiple zones for paging, evacuation, and background music, each with independent volume control and supervision. SSOUNDS A series networked amplifiers with DSP and Dante provide redundant amplification, line supervision, and seamless integration with voice alarm systems. They allow precise tuning of EQ, delay, and limiting to match the acoustics of each space. For EN 54 compliance, the entire signal chain must be monitored, and SSOUNDS systems are designed with this in mind.

SSOUNDS designs and installs across Lisbon, working with integrators, consultants, and airport technical teams to specify and commission systems that meet the highest standards. Our engineering team uses AI-assisted acoustic modeling and coverage prediction to optimise every system before it ships, ensuring that speech is intelligible in every corner of the terminal.
