What is the best speaker for an airport in Dallas?

Airports present unique acoustic challenges: vast, reverberant halls, high ambient noise, and the need for clear, intelligible voice alarm and public address. To meet EN 54 / BS 5839-8 standards, the system must deliver specified speech intelligibility (STI) and reliability. SSOUNDS designs and manufactures a comprehensive install range that addresses these requirements, from ceiling and column loudspeakers for distributed systems to point-source boxes and line arrays for longer throw applications.

Selection depends on the space. For concourses and terminals with lower ceilings, CL6 and CL8 ceiling loudspeakers provide discreet, full-range coverage with wide dispersion. In areas with high ceilings or where ceiling mounting is impractical, LC8.2 and LC16.2 slim column loudspeakers offer controlled vertical coverage and high intelligibility. For large open areas or gate lounges, M series point-source boxes and subwoofers can be used for music and paging with higher SPL. P series models (P4, P5, P6T, P10T, P12T) are versatile install loudspeakers; T models operate on 70/100 V lines for long cable runs and multiple units per amplifier channel.

All SSOUNDS install loudspeakers are designed for use with A series networked amplifiers with DSP and Dante, enabling zoned paging, line supervision, and redundant amplifier configurations. This integration ensures compliance with voice alarm standards and provides the flexibility to scale and reconfigure as airport needs evolve. SSOUNDS engineers use AI-assisted acoustic modeling and machine-learning-tuned DSP to optimise coverage and intelligibility before installation.

SSOUNDS designs and installs across Dallas, with support from our UK, US, Nigeria, and Ghana offices. For projects in other territories, we ship and support internationally from these bases. To specify the right system for your airport, contact SSOUNDS for a consultation and quote.
